Extended Product Information

The Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Academy TF excels on artificial turf, providing players with the confidence to make quick cuts, accelerate rapidly, and maintain control. The specialized rubber tread grips synthetic fibers effectively, ensuring stability during sprints and directional changes. The cushioned insole helps absorb impact from the firm artificial surface, keeping your feet comfortable throughout a game or training session. For instance, during a tight dribble or a sudden stop, the traction prevents slippage, allowing precise control. When taking shots or making long passes, the stable base provided by the outsole contributes to better power transfer. Always ensure you are using these boots on the appropriate short synthetic grass surfaces to maximize their performance and longevity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions ### Setup No specific setup is required for the Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Academy TF boots beyond ensuring they fit correctly. 1. Try Them On: Wear the boots with your preferred soccer socks. 2. Lace Up: Lace them securely to ensure a snug, comfortable fit without being too tight. 3.

A slight break-in period may be needed. ### Compatibility These boots are specifically designed for use on shorter synthetic grass surfaces (TF - Turf Football). - Compatible With: Artificial turf fields. - Not Compatible With: Natural grass fields, indoor courts, hard courts, or street play.

Clean After Each Use: - Brush off loose dirt and artificial turf pellets with a soft brush or cloth. - Wipe down the entire boot with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. - Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. 2. Drying: - Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. - Do not expose them to direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight, tumble dryer) as this can damage materials and adhesives. - Stuff newspaper or paper towels inside to help absorb moisture and maintain shape. 3. Storage: - Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. - Keep them in a boot bag or original box to protect them from dust and damage.
