Extended Product Information

Performance & Real-World Use\n\nThe Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite AG Pro Low is engineered for explosive speed and precise control on Artificial Grass (AG) pitches. The specialized AG Pro sole features conical studs and hollowed-out studs that provide exceptional rotational traction and reduce pressure points. This means you can expect:\n\n- Rapid Acceleration: The stud pattern is optimized for quick bursts of speed and changes of direction, crucial for beating defenders.\n- Superior Grip: On synthetic turf, the AG Pro configuration digs in effectively without getting stuck, allowing for confident cuts and pivots.\n- Enhanced Ball Touch: The upper materials are designed to offer a close-to-foot feel, improving your touch and control during dribbling, passing, and shooting.\n- Comfort During Play: The flat heel and round toe contribute to a comfortable fit that supports natural foot mechanics throughout a match.\n\nOptimal Use Cases:\n- Training and matches on 3G and 4G artificial turf.\n- Players who prioritize speed, agility, and a close ball feel.\n- Ideal for wingers, forwards, and attacking midfielders who rely on quick movements.\n\nRemember, using these boots on hard ground (HG) or firm ground (FG) pitches may lead to premature wear of the studs and compromise performance, as they are not designed for those surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care\n\n### Setup\n1. Lacing: Before your first use, ensure you lace the boots securely but comfortably. Experiment with lacing patterns if you experience pressure points. The lacing closure allows for personal adjustment.\n2. Break-In Period: Like most high-performance football boots, a short break-in period may be beneficial. Wear them for light training sessions or casual use before competitive matches.\n\n### Compatibility\n- Surface: These boots are exclusively designed for Artificial Grass (AG) surfaces. This includes 3G and 4G synthetic turf pitches.\n- Not Recommended For: Natural grass (Firm Ground - FG, Soft Ground - SG), hard ground (HG), or indoor courts (IC), as the sole plate is optimized for AG and can wear quickly or perform poorly on other surfaces.\n- User: Designed for adult male players.\n\n### Care Instructions\nProper care extends the life and maintains the performance of your boots:\n\n1. Cleaning After Each Use:\n - Knock off any loose artificial turf pellets or mud.\n - Use a soft brush (like a toothbrush) to gently scrub the soleplate, removing debris from between the studs.\n - Wipe the upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution.\n - Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials.\n2. Drying:\n - Always allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature.\n - DO NOT place them near direct heat sources (radiators, tumble dryers, direct sunlight) as this can cause materials to crack or shrink.\n - Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.\n3. Storage:\n - Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.\n - Keep them in a boot bag to protect them from scratches and scuffs when not in use.\n4. Odour Control:\n - Use boot deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when completely dry to combat odors.\n - Ensure boots are thoroughly dry after each use to prevent bacterial growth.
