The Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Superfly 10 Academy AG is engineered for players who prioritize speed and agility on artificial turf. The integrated Zoom Air unit truly shines during quick bursts and sprints, providing a noticeable spring in your step that translates directly into faster acceleration and sustained high-speed play. On artificial grass, the specialized soleplate with its AG-specific traction delivers excellent grip, allowing for sharp cuts, sudden stops, and rapid directional changes without slipping. This makes them ideal for wingers, forwards, and midfielders who need to outmaneuver opponents.
The lightweight NIKESKIN upper molds to your foot, creating a sensation of being closer to the ball. This, combined with the chevron texturing, significantly improves ball control, enabling precise dribbling, accurate passes, and powerful shots. The Dynamic Fit collar ensures a secure, locked-in feel, reducing foot movement inside the boot during dynamic actions and providing confidence in every stride. While excelling on artificial surfaces, it's important to use these boots on their intended playing field to experience their full performance benefits and prevent premature wear.
Lacing: Loosen the laces completely and slide your foot into the boot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated in the heel cup.
Dynamic Fit Collar: Gently pull the collar up around your ankle. It should feel snug but not restrictive.
Tighten Laces: Starting from the bottom, progressively tighten the laces, working your way up. Ensure even pressure across your foot without overtightening, which can restrict circulation. Double-knot for security during play.
Break-in Period: Like all football boots, a short break-in period may be required to achieve optimal comfort and fit. Wear them for short training sessions initially before competitive matches.
These boots are specifically designed for Artificial Ground (AG) surfaces. This includes 3G and 4G artificial grass pitches. The stud configuration is optimized to provide maximum grip and stability on these surfaces while minimizing stud pressure.
Do not use these boots on Firm Ground (FG), Soft Ground (SG), or Hard Ground (HG) natural grass pitches, as this can damage the boots and compromise your grip, potentially leading to injury.
Cleaning: After each use, remove any loose dirt or grass from the upper and soleplate using a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight), as this can damage the materials and affect the fit.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and damage. Placing newspaper inside can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Odor Control: To prevent odors, remove insoles after use and allow them to air out. Boot deodorizers or baking soda sachets can also be used.
