The Nike Mercurial Superfly 10 Academy FG/MG football boot is engineered for adult male players seeking exceptional speed and agility on various natural and artificial pitches. Its core strength lies in delivering a springy underfoot feel and supercharged traction, allowing for explosive movements, though its optimal performance is specific to firm ground and multi-ground surfaces.
Springy Underfoot Feel: Provides an additional level of responsive cushioning underfoot, enhancing comfort and energy return during play.
Supercharged Traction Pattern: Features a unique stud configuration designed for explosive acceleration and quick, decisive changes in direction on the pitch.
Soft & Flexible Mesh Upper: Constructed from a soft and pliable mesh material, offering a comfortable fit and a responsive touch on the ball.
Secure Foot Lockdown: Utilizes a thin but strong material, linked by a coating, that effectively secures the foot to the outsole for stability during high-speed maneuvers.
Lightweight Design: Crafted to minimize weight, ensuring agility and speed are not hindered, allowing players to perform at their best without bulk.

The Nike Mercurial Superfly 10 Academy FG/MG is built for players who thrive on speed and quick directional changes. The springy underfoot feel translates to a more dynamic response with every stride, giving you an edge in sprints and quick bursts of speed. The supercharged traction pattern ensures you have maximum grip for explosive take-offs and sharp cuts, critical for beating defenders or creating space.
On the pitch, the soft and flexible mesh upper adapts to your foot, providing a comfortable, almost barefoot-like sensation that enhances ball control and touch. This allows for precise dribbling and passing. The secure foot lockdown ensures your foot remains stable within the boot during intense movements, minimizing slippage and maximizing power transfer. These boots are ideal for wingers, forwards, and attacking midfielders who rely on their speed and agility to impact the game.
Lacing: Ensure laces are tied securely but not too tightly to allow for comfortable foot movement.
Breaking In: It's recommended to break in new boots during lighter training sessions before competitive matches. This allows the materials to mold to your foot shape, reducing discomfort.
These boots are designated FG/MG, meaning they are suitable for use on Firm Ground (natural grass pitches) and Multi-Ground surfaces (newer generation artificial turf and natural grass).
Using these boots on abrasive surfaces like older artificial turf (AG) or hard ground (HG) can damage the studs and reduce the boot's lifespan and performance.
Cleaning: After each use, wipe off dirt and mud with a damp cloth. For stubborn mud, use a soft brush. Avoid harsh detergents.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can cause the materials to crack or stiffen.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place. Using a boot bag can protect them during transport.
Odor Control: If odors develop, air out the boots thoroughly. Boot deodorizers or natural odor absorbers (like baking soda in a sock) can also be used.
