The Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Academy AG boots are engineered for dynamic play on artificial turf. The NikeSkin upper creates a close, responsive connection with the ball, allowing for precise dribbling, passing, and shooting. On the pitch, the unique wave-like traction pattern, combined with strategically placed chevron and blade studs, delivers exceptional grip. This specialized stud configuration allows players to achieve rapid acceleration, make sudden stops without slipping, and execute sharp cuts to evade defenders. These features make the boots ideal for fast-paced training sessions and competitive matches where agility and control are paramount.
Before use, ensure the laces are tied securely but not too tightly, allowing for comfortable movement and blood circulation. Adjust the lacing to achieve a snug, personalized fit.
These boots are exclusively designed for Artificial Ground (AG) surfaces. Using them on natural grass (FG) or firm ground (FG) may lead to premature wear of the studs and compromise performance. They are compatible with all types of artificial turf pitches.
Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and debris using a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or use artificial heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the synthetic materials.
Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using boot trees or stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape.
