The Nike Mercurial Superfly 10 Elite FG is engineered for players whose game revolves around speed, agility, and precision.
Explosive Acceleration: The combination of the Zoom Air unit and lightweight Pebax soleplate provides an immediate spring, making these boots ideal for quick bursts from a standstill or accelerating past defenders. Wingers and strikers will particularly benefit from this feature.
Unrivaled Ball Control: With the Gripknit upper, players can maintain consistent control even at high speeds or in wet conditions. Dribblers will find it easier to manipulate the ball with superior accuracy, evading opponents and creating scoring opportunities.
Dynamic Directional Changes: The next-gen chevron and bladed studs ensure maximum grip for rapid cuts and pivots, essential for midfielders and attackers making intricate runs or escaping tight spaces.
Sustained Energy: The optimized energy return from the Zoom Air unit helps reduce fatigue, allowing players to maintain their top speed and performance throughout the entire match.
These boots truly shine on firm, natural grass pitches. Using them on artificial turf (AG) or very soft/wet ground (SG) is not recommended, as it can compromise performance, lead to discomfort, and potentially damage the boots or increase injury risk.
Sizing: Ensure you select the correct UK size for a snug but comfortable fit. The Dynamic Fit collar should feel secure around your ankle without being restrictive.
Break-in Period: While designed for immediate comfort, a short break-in period (1-2 light training sessions) can help the boots mold to your foot's unique shape, enhancing comfort and feel.
Lacing: Experiment with lacing patterns to find the optimal lockdown for your foot, especially around the midfoot and arch.
These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This means natural grass pitches that are dry or slightly damp.
They are not recommended for Artificial Ground (AG), Soft Ground (SG), or Indoor (IC) surfaces, as this can lead to premature wear of the studs, reduced performance, and potential injury.
Cleaning After Use: Immediately after each use, wipe off any mud or debris with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used on the soleplate and studs.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as extreme heat can damage the materials and adhesives.
Deodorizing: Use boot deodorizers or stuff with newspaper to absorb moisture and prevent odors.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag or box, to protect them from dust and damage. Do not store in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
