They offer enhanced grip, stability, and responsiveness, thanks to a unique traction pattern and integrated Zoom Air unit.

These boots are crafted to give you an edge on natural grass pitches. The unique traction pattern allows for explosive acceleration and agile directional changes, crucial for beating defenders or creating space. When making quick stops or sudden pivots, the stability provided helps maintain balance, reducing the risk of slips.
The NikeSkin upper creates a seamless connection between your foot and the ball, allowing for exceptional touch and control during dribbling, passing, and shooting. This second-skin feel means you can react instinctively, making precise adjustments to the ball's movement.
The Flyknit fabric around the ankle ensures a supportive, locked-in fit, which is vital during rapid movements and sharp turns, preventing any unwanted foot slippage within the boot.
With the integrated Zoom Air unit, every stride feels responsive and springy. This technology returns energy with each step, contributing to faster sprints and higher jumps, potentially reducing fatigue during extended play. These boots are ideal for players who rely on speed, agility, and precise ball handling in competitive matches and rigorous training sessions on firm, natural grass.
Setup:
Lacing: Ensure the boots are laced snugly but comfortably from bottom to top. Experiment with different lacing patterns to find the most secure and comfortable fit for your foot shape.
Break-in Period: Like all new football boots, a short break-in period is recommended. Wear them during light training sessions or warm-ups before full-intensity matches to allow the materials to mold to your feet.
Compatibility:
These Nike Zoom Mercurial Superfly 10 Academy boots are designed with an FG (Firm Ground) outsole. This means they are specifically engineered for use on natural grass pitches that are firm and dry. Using them on artificial grass (AG), wet/soft ground (SG), or indoor (IC) surfaces is not recommended as it can reduce performance, accelerate wear, and potentially lead to injury. Always match your boot type to the playing surface.
Care:
Cleaning After Use: Immediately after each use, wipe off any dirt or debris from the boots with a damp cloth. For stubborn mud, a soft brush can be used carefully.
Air Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do NOT place them near direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) as this can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives.
Odor Control: If needed, insert crumpled newspaper or shoe trees to absorb moisture and maintain shape. You can also use odor-absorbing sachets.
Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place with good ventilation.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry the boots, as this can severely damage their construction and performance properties.
Check Product Label: Always refer to the specific care instructions provided on the product label for the most accurate guidelines.
