The Nike Zoom Vapor 16 Acad SG-Pro AC Sneaker is expertly crafted for adult male athletes who demand superior performance on challenging wet and muddy natural grass football fields. This boot offers exceptional grip, amplified sensitivity for precise ball control, and cushioned comfort, ensuring stability and responsiveness in adverse conditions. However, its specialized design for soft ground means it is not suitable for harder playing surfaces like artificial turf or firm ground, requiring users to have alternative footwear for different pitches.

The Nike Zoom Vapor 16 Acad SG-Pro AC Sneaker excels in conditions where other boots might fail. On wet and muddy natural grass fields, the Soft Ground (SG-Pro AC) Traction provides an immediate and noticeable advantage, allowing players to accelerate, cut, and stop with confidence. This translates to quicker changes of direction and a more stable platform for striking the ball.
The Anti-Clog (AC) Technology is a game-changer for players in heavy conditions. Instead of carrying excess mud that weighs down the boot and reduces traction, the soleplate sheds it efficiently. This means consistent, lightweight performance from kick-off to the final whistle, maintaining your speed and agility.
Thanks to the Cushioned Insole and Amplified Sensitivity, you'll experience a comfortable fit that doesn't compromise on feel. This allows for excellent ball manipulation, giving you a 'barefoot' sensation that enhances precision in passing, dribbling, and shooting. Players will find they have greater control over the ball, even when the pitch conditions are challenging. This boot is ideal for attackers and midfielders who rely on quick, decisive movements and a refined touch in difficult playing environments.
Lacing: Loosen the laces completely before putting on the boots. Insert your foot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back. Pull the laces evenly, starting from the bottom eyelets, to achieve a snug but not overly tight fit. Double-knot to prevent untying during play.
Initial Wear: We recommend wearing the boots for light activities or short training sessions a few times before a full match to allow them to conform to your foot shape.
Surfaces: These boots are exclusively designed for soft ground (SG) natural grass pitches. This includes wet, muddy, or slightly damp fields where deep penetration of studs is required for grip.
Incompatible Surfaces: Do NOT use these boots on firm ground (FG), artificial turf (AG), or indoor court (IC) surfaces. Using SG studs on these surfaces can cause damage to the boots, the playing surface, and potentially lead to injury.
Immediate Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy fields, gently tap the boots together to dislodge loose mud. Use a soft brush (or even an old toothbrush) to scrub away stubborn dirt from the upper and around the studs.
Rinsing: Rinse the boots with lukewarm water. Avoid using very hot water, as it can damage materials. Do not submerge the entire boot for extended periods.
Drying: Stuff the boots with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators), which can cause cracking or shrinking.
Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid storing them in plastic bags or damp environments, which can promote odor and mildew.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or washing machines, as these can damage the materials and technologies of the boot.
