The Nike Zoom Mercurial Vapor 16 Pro Firm Ground Football Boots are engineered to give players a distinct advantage in speed and agility on firm natural grass.
Explosive Acceleration: The integrated Zoom Air unit directly underfoot provides a springy, propulsive feel, helping you burst away from defenders and reach top speed faster. This is particularly noticeable during initial sprints and changes of pace.
Pinpoint Agility: The unique traction pattern on the outsole is strategically designed for rapid releases and sharp turns. This means you can cut, pivot, and change direction with confidence, maintaining control and balance even during high-speed maneuvers.
Secure Lockdown: The ultra-strong speed cage wraps around your foot, offering superb stability and preventing internal slippage. This lockdown ensures that all your energy translates directly into movement, making these boots ideal for players who rely on quick, decisive movements.
Responsive Ball Feel: The synthetic upper provides a clean, consistent touch on the ball, allowing for precise dribbling, passing, and shooting. While lightweight, it retains enough structure to offer a good feel for the game.
Ideal Conditions: These boots perform optimally on dry to slightly damp natural grass pitches, where the firm ground studs can properly penetrate the surface for maximum grip. They are well-suited for competitive matches and intensive training sessions where performance is paramount.
These boots feature a standard lace-up closure for a secure fit.
Lacing: Loosen laces fully before putting on the boots.
Putting On: Slide your foot into the boot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated.
Tightening: Begin tightening laces from the bottom (closest to toes) upwards, ensuring even tension across the top of your foot. Knot securely.
Fit Check: The fit should be snug but comfortable, with no excessive movement inside the boot. The speed cage should feel supportive.
Surface: Exclusively designed for Firm Ground (FG) natural grass pitches. They are not recommended for artificial turf (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor surfaces, as this can damage the boots and reduce performance.
Player Type: Suitable for adult male players who prioritize speed, agility, and a responsive feel on the pitch.
Size: This specific model is a UK Size 7. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Proper care extends the lifespan of your boots and maintains performance.
Immediate Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, remove excess dirt and mud immediately. Use a soft brush or cloth to wipe down the upper and outsole.
Washing: For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing. Do not submerge the boots in water.
Drying: Air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, hair dryers) as this can damage the synthetic materials. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep laces tied loosely to maintain the boot's shape.
Odor Control: Use odor-absorbing inserts or sprays if necessary.
