These Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Vapor XV Elite SG-Pro boots are engineered for players who rely on speed, agility, and precision to dominate the final third of the pitch. The forefoot Zoom Air unit is a game-changer, providing a tangible spring underfoot that translates directly into faster acceleration off the mark and more dynamic changes of direction. This makes them ideal for wingers, strikers, and attacking midfielders who need to burst past defenders or create space quickly.
The Vaporposite+ upper with its grippy texture ensures that even at top speed, your touch on the ball remains consistent and controlled. Whether you're dribbling through tight spaces or striking from distance, the material's properties, combined with All Conditions Control (ACC), allow for reliable ball manipulation in both wet and dry conditions.
The SG-Pro soleplate is crucial for performance on soft, muddy pitches. The combination of round and bladed metal studs bites deep into the ground, offering exceptional traction for quick push-offs, sharp cuts, and stable planting for shots. The Anti-Clog technology is a significant benefit, preventing mud build-up that can weigh down your boots and diminish grip, ensuring consistent performance throughout the match.
Players like Kylian Mbappe and Cristiano Ronaldo choose boots with similar technologies for their ability to deliver speed and control under pressure, making these Player Edition boots a top choice for serious footballers.
Lacing: The refined central lacing system is designed for easy entry and accommodates various foot shapes. Loosen laces sufficiently before inserting your foot. Once your foot is in, tighten laces evenly from bottom to top to secure a snug, comfortable fit without overtightening.
Initial Wear: It's recommended to wear your boots for short periods during training sessions initially to break them in and allow them to mold to your feet.
Pitch Surface: These boots feature an SG-Pro soleplate (Soft Ground Pro), which is specifically designed and optimized for use on soft, natural grass pitches, often found in wet or muddy conditions. Using them on firm ground, artificial turf, or hard surfaces will lead to premature wear of the studs and soleplate, and could also cause discomfort or injury.
Gender/Age: Designed as Unisex and for Adult players.
Cleaning After Use: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, wipe down the boots with a damp cloth to remove excess dirt. Use a soft brush (like a toothbrush) to gently clean around the studs and soleplate, leveraging the Anti-Clog technology for easier mud removal.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials and adhesives. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly check the metal studs for tightness and wear. Use a stud key (not included) to tighten any loose studs. While durable, metal studs can wear down or get damaged over time, especially if used on inappropriate surfaces. Spares are not included; replacement studs may need to be purchased separately.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. A boot bag can help protect them.
