The Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Vapor XVI Elite SG Pro is engineered for players who demand maximum speed and agility on soft, natural pitches. The integrated Zoom Air unit with its unique wave traction design ensures that every step generates significant energy return, propelling you forward and allowing you to maintain high speeds throughout the match. The combination of bladed and wave studs provides multi-directional grip, enabling sharp cuts, rapid acceleration, and quick changes of direction crucial for evading opponents. The innovative three-layer upper, featuring Gripknit, offers an incredibly close ball feel and consistent touch, even in wet conditions, allowing for precise dribbling and accurate passing. This boot is ideal for forwards, wingers, and midfielders who rely on bursts of speed and intricate ball work to influence the game.
**Setup:**1. Unboxing: Carefully remove the boots from their packaging.2. Stud Adjustment: Before first use, ensure all metal studs are securely tightened. Check regularly, especially after training or matches. You may adjust stud length if replacement studs are available and compatible.3. Break-in: Wear the boots for short periods during training sessions to break them in gradually, allowing the upper to mold to your foot for optimal comfort.**Compatibility:**These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. This typically means wet, muddy, or very soft natural grass surfaces. Using them on artificial turf, firm ground, or hard ground pitches can damage the boots, compromise performance, and potentially lead to injury.Care:- Cleaning: After each use, remove loose mud and dirt using a soft brush or cloth. Wipe down the upper with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) as this can damage the materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. A boot bag can help protect them.- Stud Maintenance: Regularly inspect metal studs for wear, damage, or looseness. Tighten loose studs with a stud wrench. If studs are heavily worn, they should be replaced (note: spare studs are not included with purchase).
