Designed for adult football players seeking superior speed and agility on turf surfaces, the Nike Mercurial Superfly 10 Academy TF offers advanced responsiveness and exceptional grip. While optimized for turf, its specialized outsole may not provide optimal performance on other playing fields.
Enhanced Speed: Zoom Air unit boosts energy return for faster play.
Superior Turf Traction: Aggressive lug pattern provides excellent grip for rapid changes in direction.
Close Ball Feel: NIKESKIN upper is designed to bring the foot closer to the ball for improved control.
Comfortable Fit: Pliable upper and Dynamic Fit collar offer a supportive and secure experience.
Responsive Design: Finetuned for quick reactions on the pitch.
Surface Specific: Optimized exclusively for turf (TF) surfaces; not ideal for natural grass or artificial ground.
Academy Tier: While high-performing, the 'Academy' series is not Nike's top-tier professional boot, which might imply slightly different materials or construction compared to elite models.
Break-in Period: Like most football footwear, a short break-in period may be required for optimal comfort.

Sizing: Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for adult footwear, such as the UK 8.5 variant. Proper sizing is crucial for comfort and performance.
Lacing: Loosen laces fully, slide your foot in, ensuring the Dynamic Fit collar comfortably cradles your ankle. Then, progressively tighten laces from the toe upwards for a secure, snug fit that doesn't restrict circulation.
Break-in: Wear the boots for a few short sessions (e.g., training drills, light kickabouts) before using them in a full match to allow them to mold to your foot shape.
Surface: These boots are specifically designed for Turf (TF) surfaces. The lug rubber outsole provides optimal grip on artificial grass pitches. Using them on natural grass (FG), artificial ground (AG), or indoor courts (IC) is not recommended, as it can lead to reduced performance, accelerated wear, and potential injury.
Player Type: Suitable for adult male players, as indicated by the product attributes.
Cleaning after Use: After each use, remove loose dirt and debris using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the NIKESKIN material.
Washing: For deeper cleaning, wipe down with a mild soap and water solution. Do not machine wash or submerge in water.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers), as these can cause the material to crack or deform.
Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing them with newspaper to maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
Inspect for Wear: Regularly check the outsole lugs for excessive wear or damage, which can impact grip and performance.
