The Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Vapor XVI Pro FG boots are engineered for players who prioritize speed and agility on natural firm ground football pitches. The combination of Zoom Air cushioning and wave central forefoot studs delivers significant energy return, propelling you forward and allowing for sustained sprints throughout a match. The advanced chevron and blade stud configuration ensures maximum grip for rapid acceleration, sharp cuts, and quick directional changes, crucial for beating defenders or reacting swiftly to plays. The lightweight Flyknit upper provides a second-skin feel, bringing your foot closer to the ball for superior touch and control, while the tacky skin finish allows for precise dribbling, making it easier to maneuver through tight spaces and evade opponents. The TPE soleplate contributes to explosive spring, aiding in powerful take-offs and maintaining stability during dynamic movements. These boots are ideal for attacking players, wingers, and midfielders who rely on bursts of speed and intricate ball work.
Before first use, ensure the boots are laced securely but comfortably, allowing for a snug fit without restricting movement. A brief break-in period during light training sessions is recommended to mold the Flyknit upper to your foot shape for optimal comfort and performance.
These boots are designed exclusively for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are dry or slightly damp. Using them on artificial grass (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor surfaces may lead to premature wear, damage to the boots, or an increased risk of injury, and will compromise performance.
After each use, wipe down the boots with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged direct sunlight, to preserve material integrity. Remove insoles occasionally for airing. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this can damage the Flyknit and other materials. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
