Designed for elite speed and agility on soft ground, the Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Superfly X Academy SG Pro Anti Clog football boots are engineered for players seeking maximum responsiveness and grip. Featuring a revolutionary Zoom Air unit for enhanced energy return and Anti-Clog technology to prevent mud buildup, these boots help you maintain peak performance in challenging conditions. Be aware that while Anti-Clog is effective, regular cleaning and stud maintenance remain crucial for optimal use on soft pitches.

The Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Superfly X Academy SG Pro Anti Clog boots are engineered to deliver peak performance specifically on soft, wet, and muddy natural grass pitches. The integrated Zoom Air unit is designed to provide a noticeable spring in your step, translating to more explosive acceleration and sustained speed throughout a match. This responsive cushioning helps reduce fatigue over 90 minutes.
Crucially, the Anti-Clog technology shines in challenging conditions, minimizing mud buildup on the soleplate. This ensures that the boots remain lightweight and that the combination of round and bladed studs can consistently dig into the turf, providing reliable traction for quick turns, sharp cuts, and powerful pushes. You'll experience less slippage and maintain better stability in slick environments.
The lightweight NIKESKIN upper offers a close, almost barefoot feel, enhancing your connection to the ball. The chevron texturing on the upper facilitates precise dribbling and accurate passing, giving you confidence in tight spaces. The Dynamic Fit collar provides a supportive, integrated feel between your foot and ankle, crucial for high-speed maneuvers and rapid changes in direction. These boots are the choice for players who prioritize speed, agility, and uncompromising grip on soft ground.
Initial Fit: When first putting on the boots, gently pull the Dynamic Fit collar over your ankle. Ensure your foot slides fully into the boot, with your heel snugly against the back. The fit should feel secure but not constrictive.
Lacing: Lace up the boots firmly but comfortably. Experiment with lacing patterns to find the optimal lockdown for your foot shape.
Break-in Period: Like all new football boots, a short break-in period may be beneficial to allow the materials to mold to your foot for ultimate comfort and performance.
These boots are specifically designed for use on Soft Ground (SG) natural grass pitches. The stud configuration and Anti-Clog technology are optimized for wet, muddy conditions.
Not recommended for use on Firm Ground (FG), Artificial Grass (AG), or Indoor (IC) surfaces, as this can damage the studs and soleplate, and may void any warranty.
Clean After Every Use: After playing, remove excess mud and debris using a soft brush or by rinsing with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or washing machines.
Remove Insole: If possible, remove the insole after play to allow both the boot interior and insole to air dry thoroughly.
Air Dry: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), which can damage materials.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly check the metal-tipped studs for looseness or wear. If necessary, use a stud key (sold separately) to tighten or replace them. Even with Anti-Clog, some mud residue is normal and should be cleaned off.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place. Using a boot bag can help protect them.
