Featuring advanced Zoom Air cushioning and a multi-directional traction system, they deliver explosive energy return and agility.

These boots are designed to elevate your performance, particularly focusing on speed and agility. On the pitch, the Zoom Air cushioning provides a noticeable spring in your step, translating kinetic energy into forward momentum, making acceleration feel more effortless. This is especially beneficial for strikers or wingers making runs in behind defenses.
The multi-directional stud pattern ensures reliable traction across various movements. Whether you're making sharp cuts to evade defenders, pivoting quickly, or sprinting in a straight line, the evolved chevron and blade studs work in tandem to maintain grip. This allows for confident, explosive changes of direction, critical in fast-paced gameplay.
The lightweight NIKESKIN upper molds to your foot, offering an incredibly close ball feel. This direct connection enhances your ability to dribble with precision, control passes, and strike the ball accurately. The textured pattern on the upper further aids in maintaining control during intricate dribbling maneuvers. The Dynamic Fit collar contributes to a secure, seamless connection between your foot and the boot, minimizing slippage and maximizing confidence during dynamic movements. Their MultiGround (FG/MG) versatility means you can confidently switch between natural grass and most artificial grass pitches without needing different pairs of boots, making them a practical choice for players who train and play on varied surfaces.
Setting up your Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Superfly 10 Academy FG MG boots is straightforward:
Lacing: Ensure laces are tied securely to provide a snug, locked-in fit without being overly tight.
Dynamic Fit Collar: The collar is designed for a secure fit. You may need to gently stretch the opening when first putting them on to allow your foot to slide in comfortably. For easier entry, use a shoehorn if desired.
These boots are specifically engineered for:
Firm Ground (FG): Natural grass pitches.
Multi-Ground (MG): Artificial grass surfaces.
They are not recommended for indoor courts, street play, or extremely soft/muddy natural grass pitches, as the stud configuration is not optimized for those surfaces.
Proper care will extend the lifespan and maintain the performance of your boots:
Cleaning After Use: Immediately after playing, wipe off excess mud and dirt from the upper and soleplate using a damp cloth or soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Remove Insole (Optional): For quicker drying and to air out the inside, remove the cushioned insole after use.
Air Dry: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them directly on heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) as this can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives.
Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash or tumble dry your boots.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a boot bag can protect them from scratches and keep them clean.
