Designed for football players seeking explosive speed and agility on soft ground, the Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Superfly SG Pro Anti-Clog boots offer superior responsiveness and grip. Featuring Zoom Air cushioning and Anti-Clog technology, these boots help maximize energy return and prevent mud buildup, keeping you fast and light. While exceptionally performing on soft, natural pitches, their specialized soleplate means they are not ideal for harder surfaces.
Zoom Air Cushioning: Strategically placed Zoom Air units engage with every step, providing optimal energy return and propulsive responsiveness to enhance speed and reduce fatigue.
Anti-Clog Technology: A specialized soleplate coating prevents mud from sticking and accumulating, ensuring consistent traction and keeping the boots lightweight during play.
Combination Stud Pattern: Features a mix of round and bladed metal-tipped studs designed to offer superior multi-directional traction for quick cuts, acceleration, and agile movements on soft, natural grass.
Lightweight NIKESKIN Upper: Constructed from a pliable, minimalist NIKESKIN synthetic material that wraps closely around the foot for a comfortable, supportive, and 'barefoot' feel, enhancing ball touch.
Chevron Texturing for Control: The NIKESKIN upper incorporates a textured pattern, aiding in precise ball control for dribbling, passing, and shooting, even at high speeds.
Dynamic Fit Collar: A stretchy, sock-like collar extends up the ankle, providing a secure, seamless connection between the foot and ankle for enhanced stability and a locked-in feel.
Explosive Speed: Zoom Air cushioning and lightweight design boost acceleration and maintain top-end speed.
Superior Traction: Anti-Clog technology and specialized studs ensure excellent grip and stability on soft ground.
Enhanced Ball Control: NIKESKIN upper with texturing provides a close feel and precise control.
Comfortable & Secure Fit: Dynamic Fit collar and cushioned insole offer a snug and supportive feel.
Durable Build: Designed for the rigors of competitive play with robust materials and adjustable metal studs.
Surface Specific: Optimized exclusively for soft, natural grass pitches (SG), making them less suitable or potentially damaging on firm ground (FG) or artificial grass (AG).
Stud Key Not Included: Adjustable metal studs require a separate stud key for changing or tightening, which is not provided.
Spare Studs Not Included: No replacement studs are included, which might be needed over time due to wear or loss.
Higher Maintenance: Metal studs may require more frequent cleaning and inspection compared to molded studs.

The Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Superfly SG Pro Anti-Clog boots are engineered for players whose game relies on speed, rapid acceleration, and quick directional changes on soft, muddy pitches. The Zoom Air unit underfoot is immediately noticeable, providing a springy, responsive feel that propels you forward, making sprints and bursts of speed feel more effortless. This energy return translates directly into maintaining high intensity throughout a match.
On a wet or soft pitch, the Anti-Clog technology shines. Unlike traditional boots where mud can clump up and add significant weight, the Anti-Clog treatment helps shed mud, keeping the soleplate clear and your traction consistent. This means less slippage and more confidence when pushing off, cutting, or stopping.
The combination of round and bladed studs offers a versatile grip, allowing for both aggressive push-offs and smooth rotations. Players will experience reliable traction for quick turns and pivots, essential for evading defenders or creating space. The lightweight NIKESKIN upper and its chevron texturing provide an excellent feel for the ball, enabling precise dribbling in tight spaces and accurate passing, even when running at pace. The Dynamic Fit collar ensures a snug, secure fit around the ankle, minimizing foot movement inside the boot during dynamic actions and contributing to overall stability and comfort.
Initial Wear: Try on the boots with the type of socks you typically wear for football. Ensure a snug, comfortable fit, especially around the Dynamic Fit collar.
Stud Check: Before your first use, inspect all metal studs to ensure they are securely tightened. While adjustable, a stud key (sold separately) is needed for any adjustments or replacements.
Pitch Type: These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or require maximum penetration for grip. Using them on firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor surfaces is not recommended as it can damage the studs, soleplate, and potentially cause injury due to improper traction.
Stud Key: Note that a stud key is required for maintaining or replacing the metal studs and is sold separately. Ensure you have one if you plan to adjust or replace studs.
Cleaning After Use: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, clean your boots thoroughly. Remove excess mud and dirt using a soft brush or sponge and water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Anti-Clog Maintenance: While Anti-Clog technology reduces mud buildup, a quick rinse and wipe will help maintain its effectiveness and keep the soleplate clear.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, hair dryers) as this can damage materials and cause them to stiffen or crack.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly check the metal studs for wear, damage, or looseness. Replace worn-out studs as needed (replacement studs not included) and tighten any loose ones using a stud key to ensure optimal grip and prevent loss during play.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve their material integrity.
