Designed for football players seeking enhanced agility and speed on artificial ground, the Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Academy AG offers superior comfort and traction. While excelling on synthetic pitches, its specialized stud configuration means optimal performance is limited to artificial surfaces.
Exceptional Traction on AG: Specifically designed studs provide excellent grip and stability on artificial turf.
Optimized for Speed and Agility: Lightweight build and responsive design aid in quick movements and bursts of speed.
Comfortable Fit: Engineered for a snug, supportive, and comfortable feel throughout matches and training.
Durable for Artificial Surfaces: Materials are selected to withstand the demands of artificial ground play.
Stylish Design: The Glacier Blue Blue Orbit colorway offers a modern and eye-catching look.
Surface Limitation: Not suitable for natural grass (firm ground or soft ground) or indoor surfaces, which can lead to reduced performance and premature wear.
Specific Care Required: Synthetic materials and specialized soleplates may require consistent cleaning and maintenance to preserve their condition.
Info needed: [Break-in period for optimal comfort may be required].

Lacing: Ensure boots are laced snugly from toe to ankle, but not so tight as to restrict blood flow or cause discomfort. Experiment with different lacing patterns to find what provides the most secure and comfortable fit for your foot shape.
Break-in: New boots may require a short break-in period. Wear them for light training sessions or walks before competitive matches to allow the materials to mold to your feet.
Surface: These boots are exclusively designed for Artificial Ground (AG) pitches. Using them on natural grass (FG, SG) or hard indoor surfaces is not recommended as it can compromise performance, damage the studs, and void any potential warranty.
Sizing: Always refer to Nike's official size guide. The UK size 8 provided is for adult males. Ensure you try them on with the type of socks you'd typically wear for football.
Cleaning After Each Use: Immediately after play, remove loose dirt and mud by gently tapping the boots together. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the upper and soleplate. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush and mild soap solution can be used.
Drying: Never place boots directly on a heat source (like a radiator) or in direct sunlight, as this can dry out and crack the materials. Stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape, then allow them to air dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated area.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures. Consider using a boot bag to protect them during transport.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash your football boots, as this can damage the materials and construction.
