FAQs
What does 'MG' stand for on the outsole?
'MG' stands for Multi-Ground, indicating the outsole is designed to provide reliable traction on both natural grass and artificial grass pitches.
Is the high-top collar removable?
No, the high-top collar is integrated into the design of the Mercurial Superfly 9 Academy MG and is not removable.
How do I clean the Pink Foam material?
Gently wipe the Pink Foam material with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or soaking the cleats, as this can damage the color and material integrity.
What is the benefit of the Air Zoom unit?
The Air Zoom unit provides responsive cushioning and a springy feel underfoot, enhancing acceleration and explosive movements during play.
Can these cleats be used for indoor soccer?
No, the MG outsole with its stud pattern is designed for outdoor grass and artificial turf. Using them on indoor courts can cause damage to the outsole and the court surface.
Are these cleats suitable for wide feet?
The Mercurial series generally offers a snug, performance fit. While the laces allow for some adjustment, players with significantly wide feet may find them restrictive. Trying them on is recommended.
What is the primary difference between the Academy and Pro/Elite models?
The Academy model is the entry-level tier, offering a balance of features for performance and durability. Higher tiers (Pro, Elite) typically incorporate more advanced materials and technologies for enhanced fit, touch, and performance.
Troubleshooting
Cleats feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Wear thin to medium thickness socks during try-on. Consider a short break-in period of light activity or wear around the house.
Traction feels inconsistent on one type of surface
The MG outsole is designed for versatility. If experiencing issues, ensure the studs are clean and free of debris. For specific surface types, consider a cleat engineered solely for that surface (e.g., FG for firm ground).
Laces are difficult to secure tightly
Check that the lace eyelets are clear of debris. Try lacing techniques that provide more tension, and ensure the laces themselves are not excessively worn.
Material appears to be stretching or losing shape
Ensure proper drying and storage methods are followed. Avoid exposing the cleats to excessive moisture or heat, which can degrade materials over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Nike Mercurial Superfly 9 Academy MG is designed for immediate use upon purchase. Ensure the correct size is selected for a snug, performance-oriented fit. The laces allow for further adjustment to personal preference.
Compatibility: This model is classified as Multi-Ground (MG), making it suitable for play on both firm, natural grass pitches and modern artificial grass surfaces. It is not recommended for use on harder surfaces like concrete or indoor courts.
Care: To maintain the condition of your cleats:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots.
- Drying: Allow the cleats to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the cleats in a cool, dry place, ideally in a breathable shoe bag. This helps to maintain their shape and prevent odors.
