These boots are engineered for players who thrive on speed and precision on soft, natural grass pitches. The Zoom Air unit is the core of their responsive feel, acting like a spring underfoot to give you a noticeable boost during sprints and quick accelerations. Imagine bursting past defenders with an extra surge of power.
In challenging, muddy conditions, the Anti-Clog technology truly shines. It actively repels mud from the soleplate, ensuring your studs remain clear. This means you maintain consistent, reliable grip for quick cuts, turns, and powerful strikes, without the added weight and instability of caked mud. You can confidently navigate a rain-soaked match, knowing your footing is secure.
The mixed stud configuration complements this by providing versatile traction. The blade studs offer aggressive bite for acceleration and quick stops, while the round studs allow for smooth pivots and changes of direction. This combination is crucial for outmaneuvering opponents. The lightweight NIKESKIN upper offers a close, almost barefoot feel, enhancing ball touch and control, making precise passes and deft dribbles feel intuitive. The Dynamic Fit collar locks the foot and ankle in place, providing a sense of unity with the boot, which translates to greater confidence in sudden movements and explosive actions.
Lacing: Ensure the boots are laced snugly but comfortably from toe to ankle, utilizing all eyelets. The Dynamic Fit collar should feel secure around your ankle without constricting movement.
Stud Check: Before first use, and periodically thereafter, ensure all metal studs are securely tightened. Use the provided stud key if adjustment is needed.
Playing Surface: These boots are exclusively designed for Soft Ground (SG-Pro) natural grass pitches, which are typically wet, muddy, or require maximum traction.
Avoid Other Surfaces: Do NOT use these boots on artificial grass (AG), firm ground (FG), or indoor surfaces. Doing so can cause damage to the studs and soleplate, reduce performance, and significantly increase the risk of injury.
Immediate Cleaning: After every use, especially in muddy conditions, remove all loose mud and debris from the soleplate, studs, and upper. The Anti-Clog technology reduces buildup, but a quick rinse helps.
Upper Cleaning: Wipe the NIKESKIN synthetic upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly inspect the metal studs for wear, damage, or looseness. Replace any significantly worn or damaged studs immediately to maintain optimal grip and prevent injury. Ensure they are always tightened before play.
Drying: Air dry the boots naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heaters, or open flames. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in a damp bag for extended periods, as this can lead to odor and material degradation.
