These Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Superfly X Academy SG Pro Anti Clog boots are engineered for players who demand speed and agility on soft, muddy football pitches. The integrated Zoom Air unit is a game-changer, providing a noticeable spring in your step, translating to quicker bursts of speed and sustained energy throughout a match. This makes them ideal for forwards, wingers, and midfielders who rely on explosive pace and frequent changes of direction.
On a wet, soft pitch, the Anti Clog technology truly shines. It actively prevents mud from sticking to the soleplate, ensuring your boots remain lightweight and your traction consistent, which is crucial for maintaining stability and grip when accelerating or making sharp turns. The combination of round and bladed studs further supports this, offering a balanced grip that allows for both powerful push-offs and controlled pivots.
The lightweight Nike Skin upper with its chevron texturing is designed to provide an almost barefoot feel, enhancing your connection with the ball. This allows for superior touch, enabling precise dribbling, passing, and shooting even at high speeds. The Dynamic Fit collar ensures the boot moves as one with your leg, offering a locked-in sensation that instills confidence during dynamic play. These boots are endorsed by elite players like Kylian Mbappe and Cristiano Ronaldo, showcasing their capability at the highest levels of the game.
Your Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Superfly X Academy SG Pro Anti Clog boots come with durable, adjustable metal-tipped studs already inserted. While spares are not included, you can adjust or replace these studs as needed to suit pitch conditions or wear. A stud key (sold separately) is required for this maintenance.
Initial Inspection: Before first use, ensure all studs are securely tightened. Use a stud key if any feel loose.
Breaking In: Wear the boots for shorter periods during training sessions initially to allow them to mold to your feet and prevent discomfort during a full match.
These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) football pitches. This means natural grass fields that are wet or muddy. They are not recommended for use on Artificial Grass (AG) or Firm Ground (FG) surfaces, as this can damage the studs and soleplate, and significantly reduce grip.
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your boots:
Immediate Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, clean your boots promptly. The Anti Clog technology helps, but a quick clean is still beneficial.
Soleplate: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove any remaining mud or debris from the soleplate, paying attention to the studs and the Anti Clog surface.
Upper: Wipe the Nike Skin synthetic upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution, then wipe clean with plain water.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), which can damage the materials.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, ideally in a boot bag or box to protect them from dust and damage.
