The Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Academy AG football boot is engineered for adult male players who prioritize agility and speed on artificial ground. It delivers superior traction and control crucial for competitive play, though its specialized sole means it's exclusively designed for AG surfaces and not recommended for natural grass.
Optimized for Artificial Ground: Delivers superior traction and reduces stud pressure specifically on AG surfaces.
Lightweight for Speed: Design supports rapid acceleration and agile movements.
Durable and Supportive: Built to endure frequent use while providing consistent comfort.
Excellent Ball Control: Facilitates precise handling and command of the ball.
Stylish Appearance: Modern blue color and sleek design add to its appeal.
Surface Specificity: Not suitable for natural grass (FG) or soft ground (SG) pitches, which could lead to damage or injury.
Initial Break-in Period: Like most football boots, may require a short period of wear to achieve optimal comfort.

Initial Break-in Period: Like most football boots, may require a short period of wear to achieve optimal comfort.
First Wear: Always try on the boots with the socks you typically wear for football. Ensure a snug fit that's not uncomfortably tight.
Lacing: Lace them firmly but not excessively tight to allow for circulation and natural foot movement. Experiment with lacing patterns if you experience pressure points.
Break-in Period: It's recommended to wear the boots for a few light training sessions before a full match. This allows the materials to mold to your foot shape, enhancing comfort and reducing the risk of blisters.
Surface: These boots are specifically designed for Artificial Ground (AG) surfaces. The stud pattern is engineered to provide optimal traction and distribute pressure evenly on synthetic turf fields.
Not Recommended For: Do not use these boots on natural grass (Firm Ground - FG, or Soft Ground - SG) or indoor surfaces. Using them on incorrect surfaces can damage the boots, compromise your stability, and potentially lead to injury.
Cleaning After Use: After every session or match, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt, mud, and rubber pellets from the upper and studs. Avoid harsh chemicals.
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 materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using boot trees or stuffing them with newspaper to maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
Odor Control: If odors develop, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the boots or use specialized boot deodorizers.
