The Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Vapor 16 Academy AG football boots are engineered for players seeking peak speed and responsiveness on artificial ground. Their key strength lies in the integration of Zoom Air cushioning and specialized AG traction, delivering an untouchable advantage on the pitch. However, their design is highly optimized for artificial surfaces, meaning performance may be suboptimal on other playing fields.

Lightweight Comfort: Designed to minimize bulk while providing support for prolonged wear.
Durable Construction: Built to withstand the demands of artificial pitch play.
Surface Specificity: Optimized exclusively for Artificial Ground (AG) surfaces; not recommended for natural grass or other types of pitches.

Sizing: Ensure you have selected your correct UK size (e.g., Size 11 for this variant). Trying them on with your typical football socks is recommended for the best fit.
Lacing: Lace up the boots firmly but comfortably, ensuring your foot is secure without excessive pressure points. A snug fit is crucial for optimal performance and preventing blisters.
These boots are designed exclusively for Artificial Ground (AG) surfaces. The specialized stud pattern and soleplate material are optimized for the grip and durability required on artificial turf pitches. Using them on natural grass (FG) or firm ground (FG) may damage the studs, reduce traction, and could void warranty.
Cleaning: After each use, wipe off excess dirt and debris using a damp cloth. For stubborn mud, a soft brush can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Drying: Air dry your boots naturally. Do not place them directly on radiators, in direct sunlight, or use artificial heat sources, as this can damage the materials and cause them to crack or stiffen. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using a boot bag can protect them from dust and scratches.
