Designed for football players seeking maximum speed and responsiveness on artificial grass, the Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Vapor XVI Academy AG boots deliver superior energy return and precise control. While offering an elite experience for agility and acceleration, these boots are specifically engineered for artificial ground, limiting their optimal performance on other surfaces.
Enhanced Speed: Zoom Air unit provides superior energy return for explosive acceleration.
Optimized AG Grip: Specialized stud configuration ensures excellent traction and stability on artificial turf.
Precise Ball Control: NIKESKIN upper with texturing brings you closer to the ball for better dribbling and passing.
Lightweight Comfort: The minimalist design and NIKESKIN material offer a snug, comfortable fit without added bulk.
Responsive Feel: Designed for quick, decisive movements, ideal for fast-paced play.
Surface Specific: Soleplate is optimized only for artificial ground (AG), not recommended for natural grass or other surfaces.
Durability (General): While NIKESKIN is pliable, users should follow care instructions to maximize lifespan, as synthetic materials can show wear over time with intense use.
Break-in Period: Like many performance boots, a short break-in period may be beneficial for optimal comfort.

Lacing: Ensure boots are laced snugly but not too tightly. Start from the bottom and work your way up, pulling each section tight to secure your foot.
Sock Choice: Wear appropriate football socks that offer cushioning and prevent slippage inside the boot.
Initial Wear: For the first few sessions, wear the boots for shorter periods to allow them to mold to your feet and minimize discomfort. This 'break-in' period is important for optimal fit.
Surface: These boots are designed exclusively for Artificial Ground (AG). Using them on natural grass (firm ground, soft ground) or other hard surfaces can damage the studs, compromise traction, and void potential warranties.
Foot Type: The NIKESKIN upper offers a adaptable fit, but personal comfort can vary. Always try them on to ensure a good fit for your foot shape.
Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the boots with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For tougher grime, a soft brush and mild soap can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, hairdryers) as this can damage the materials.
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.
Stud Inspection: Regularly check the studs for wear or damage. While designed for AG, excessive wear can impact performance.
