The Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Academy FG MG boots are engineered to help young players achieve peak performance on the field. The innovative Zoom Air cushioning with its wave central forefoot studs is a game-changer, providing a noticeable spring in your step and maximizing energy return with every stride. This means players can maintain their speed and explosiveness for longer periods during a match. The lightweight NIKESKIN upper offers a 'barefoot' feel, enhancing ball touch and control, which is crucial for precise dribbling and accurate passing. Its trademark texturing further aids in manipulating the ball effectively to outmaneuver defenders. The combination of chevron and blade studs with the cascading wave pattern ensures multidirectional grip, allowing for rapid changes in direction, sharp cuts, and powerful pushes off the ground, whether you're on natural grass or artificial turf. The TPU soleplate is tuned for flexibility and stability, supporting explosive take-offs and quick acceleration. These boots are ideal for forwards, wingers, and midfielders who rely on speed, agility, and close ball control to dominate the game.
Getting the right fit is crucial for performance and comfort. These boots feature lace fastening to allow for a secure and customized fit for your feet. The dual pull tabs are designed to make putting on and taking off the boots easier, especially for young players. Ensure the laces are tied snugly but not too tightly to avoid restricting circulation or causing discomfort during play.
These Multi-Ground (FG/MG) football boots are specifically designed for optimal performance on both firm natural grass surfaces and artificial grass surfaces. They are part of the Nike Mercurial series, crafted for kids (age group specified as UK 4 in this variant) and are unisex in design, suitable for all young players.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your boots. After each use, it's recommended to:
Clean: Remove any dirt, mud, or grass from the upper and studs using a soft brush or cloth and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Dry: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
Store: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with newspaper inside to absorb any moisture and help maintain their shape. For specific care instructions, always refer to the product label inside the boots.
