The Nike Mercurial Superfly 10 Academy TF football shoes are engineered for adult male players prioritizing speed and agility on artificial turf. Featuring responsive Zoom Air cushioning and a lightweight NIKESKIN upper, they deliver exceptional energy return and a close ball feel. While designed to make you faster and more responsive, their specialized lug rubber outsole means optimal performance is exclusively achieved on turf surfaces.
Zoom Air Unit: Integrated into the sole, it engages with every footfall to provide increased energy return, helping you maintain speed and explosiveness for longer periods.
Aggressive Lug Rubber Outsole: Specifically designed for turf (TF) pitches, this outsole offers robust traction, ensuring stability and enabling quick, decisive directional changes.
Lightweight NIKESKIN Upper: A pliable synthetic material that wraps the foot for exceptional comfort, snug support, and an unhindered, close-to-the-ball feel.
Chevron Texturing: Applied to the NIKESKIN upper in the Mercurial's signature pattern, this texturing enhances ball control and precision for effective dribbling.
Dynamic Fit Collar: A sock-like extension around the ankle that provides a secure, locked-in sensation, enhancing the connection between the foot and the shoe.
Cushioned Insole: Offers an additional layer of comfort and helps absorb impact during high-intensity play.
Exceptional Speed & Responsiveness: Zoom Air cushioning provides a springy, propulsive feel for quick acceleration.

Enhanced Ball Control: Lightweight NIKESKIN upper with chevron texturing brings you closer to the ball for precise dribbling and touch.
Secure & Comfortable Fit: Dynamic Fit collar and pliable upper combine for a locked-in yet comfortable feel.

On artificial turf fields, the Nike Mercurial Superfly 10 Academy TF truly shines, designed to elevate your game with speed and agility. The Zoom Air unit acts as a dynamic springboard, propelling you forward and ensuring every step converts into forward momentum. This responsiveness is critical for outmaneuvering opponents and reaching top speed quickly.
The aggressive lug rubber outsole is your foundation for rapid directional changes. Whether you're making a sharp cut to beat a defender or accelerating into open space, the traction keeps you stable and prevents slips, allowing for explosive, confident movements.
The lightweight NIKESKIN upper wraps your foot like a second skin, providing a close, natural feel for the ball. This, combined with the chevron texturing, enhances your touch and control, making precision dribbling and accurate passing feel intuitive, even at high speeds. The Dynamic Fit collar ensures a seamless transition between your foot and ankle, offering a secure, locked-down fit that supports agile movements without restriction. These boots are ideal for players who rely on quick bursts, intricate footwork, and precise ball handling to dominate the game on synthetic surfaces.
Slip On: Gently slide your foot into the shoe, ensuring your heel is fully seated against the back of the boot.
Lace Up Securely: Tighten the laces from the toes upwards, ensuring an even, snug fit without overtightening. The Dynamic Fit collar should feel secure around your ankle, providing support without being restrictive.
Break-In Period: Like most football boots, these may require a short break-in period. Wear them for light training sessions initially to allow the NIKESKIN upper to mold to your foot's unique shape.
Surface: These Nike Mercurial Superfly 10 Academy TF shoes are specifically engineered for Turf (TF) surfaces, which include artificial grass and astroturf pitches. The lug rubber outsole provides optimal grip and durability on these synthetic grounds.
Not Recommended For: They are not recommended for use on natural firm ground (FG), soft ground (SG), or indoor court (IC) surfaces. Using them on unsuitable surfaces can reduce performance, accelerate wear, and potentially lead to injury.
After Each Use: Remove any loose dirt, mud, or grass clippings from the outsole and upper using a soft brush or damp cloth.
Cleaning: For a deeper clean, wipe the NIKESKIN upper with a damp cloth using mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, which can damage the synthetic material.
Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight, high heat sources (like radiators), or use a machine dryer, as this can cause materials to shrink, crack, or degrade. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Odor Control: To prevent odors, ensure the shoes are fully aired out after each use. Consider using shoe deodorizers or odor-absorbing sachets.
