The Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Club TF shoes are engineered for young players who demand maximum performance on artificial turf. The grippy lug rubber outsole allows for explosive acceleration and sharp, decisive cuts, enabling quick changes in direction to evade opponents. The lightweight synthetic upper creates a 'second-skin' feel, bringing the foot closer to the ball for superior touch and control. The allover texturing on the upper significantly aids in maintaining precise dribbling and accurate passing, even at high speeds. Whether in training sessions or competitive matches, these boots are designed to help young athletes unlock their full potential, providing the responsiveness and support needed for dynamic play.
Lacing: Loosen the classic laces and insert your foot. Ensure your heel is comfortably seated at the back of the shoe.
Tighten: Pull the laces firmly but not too tightly, ensuring a snug fit across the midfoot. Double-knot for security during play.
Fit Check: Walk around to ensure there are no pressure points and that your toes have a small amount of space at the front.
These shoes are specifically designed for Turf (TF) surfaces. This includes artificial grass pitches, 3G, and 4G surfaces. They are not recommended for natural grass (FG/SG) or indoor (IC) courts, as the sole configuration will not provide optimal grip or durability on those surfaces.
Cleaning: After use, gently tap the shoes together to remove loose dirt and turf pellets. Wipe down the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the synthetic materials. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
