For players who demand explosive speed and unparalleled ball control on artificial grass, the Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite AG Pro football boots deliver an untouchable advantage. Featuring advanced Zoom Air cushioning for energy return and revolutionary Gripknit for superior touch, these boots are engineered to keep you faster for longer, though they are specifically designed for optimal performance on artificial turf surfaces.
Zoom Air Cushioning: Features a new wave central forefoot stud design that maximizes the engagement of the Zoom Air unit, providing increased energy return for explosive speed and responsiveness.
Gripknit Upper: A sticky, pliable, and weather-resistant yarn integrated into the three-layer upper, enhancing ball-to-boot connection and ensuring consistent touch in all conditions.
Three-Layer Lightweight Upper: Combines stretchy Flyknit for comfort, supportive Atomknit for stability, and Gripknit for control. This is the thinnest Mercurial upper to date, bringing you closer to the ball.
Pebax Soleplate: A lightweight soleplate with tuned flex zones engineered for explosive spring and stability during rapid movements and sprints.
Next-Gen Traction Pattern: Incorporates both circular and bladed studs designed for speed in every direction, facilitating quick directional changes and acceleration on artificial grass.
Artificial Grass (AG-Pro) Specific: Soleplate and stud configuration are specifically optimized for maximum grip, performance, and durability on artificial turf surfaces.
Explosive Speed: Advanced Zoom Air and lightweight design provide exceptional energy return for rapid acceleration.
Superior Ball Control: Gripknit upper offers enhanced touch and manipulation of the ball in various weather conditions.
Agile Movement: Optimized traction pattern supports quick directional changes and cuts, crucial for dodging opponents.
Lightweight Comfort: The thinnest Mercurial upper to date, combined with Flyknit, ensures a close, comfortable, and supportive fit.
Durable for AG: Specifically designed for artificial grass, ensuring longevity and optimal performance on these surfaces.
Surface Specificity: Primarily designed for artificial grass, meaning performance and durability may be compromised on natural grass.

The Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite AG Pro football boots are engineered for the player who prioritizes speed, agility, and precise ball control on artificial turf. The integrated Zoom Air unit beneath the forefoot, with its innovative wave-patterned studs, means every step engages more cushioning, translating directly into enhanced energy return. This propels you forward, making sprints and quick bursts of speed feel more effortless.
The three-layer upper is where ball control truly shines. The combination of Flyknit for a snug, adaptive fit, Atomknit for structural support during explosive movements, and the standout Gripknit technology ensures a consistent, tactile connection with the ball. Whether you're dribbling at high speed, making precise passes, or striking for goal, Gripknit provides the friction needed to manipulate the ball with superior accuracy, even in wet conditions.
The Pebax soleplate is both lightweight and responsive, offering the perfect balance of stiffness for spring-like propulsion and flexibility for natural foot movement. Paired with the next-gen traction system of circular and bladed studs, these boots allow for rapid acceleration, sharp cuts, and stable pivots, ensuring you maintain an untouchable edge on artificial grass pitches. Endorsed by elite players like Kylian Mbappe and Cristiano Ronaldo, these boots are built to perform at the highest level.
Lacing: Ensure boots are laced securely but not overly tight. Use the lacing system to achieve a snug, personalized fit around your foot.
Break-in Period: While modern boots are designed for comfort out of the box, a short break-in period during light training sessions can help the boot mold perfectly to your foot shape.
Playing Surface: These boots are equipped with an AG-Pro soleplate, making them specifically designed for optimal performance on Artificial Grass (turf) pitches. Using them on other surfaces (e.g., firm ground, soft ground) may reduce their effectiveness and durability.
Size: This variant is UK 10, designed for adult feet.
Gender: This specific variant is designed for male athletes.
Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and rubber pellets from the soleplate and studs. Gently wipe the upper (Gripknit, Flyknit, Atomknit) with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, excessive heat sources, or machine drying, as these can damage materials.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using boot trees or crumpled newspaper inside to help maintain their shape.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or solvents, as these can degrade the materials and affect performance.
