The Nike Mercurial Superfly X Academy FG MG is built for dynamic play. On the pitch, you'll experience:
Rapid Acceleration: The Zoom Air unit under the forefoot provides a noticeable spring with each stride, helping you accelerate quickly past defenders. For example, during a breakaway, you'll feel the immediate responsiveness underfoot.
Sharp Directional Changes: The combination of chevron and bladed studs allows for confident, sudden pivots. When juking an opponent, the grip ensures your foot stays planted, enabling a crisp turn.
Precise Dribbling: The thin NIKESKIN upper with its textured pattern means you'll feel the ball intimately. This allows for fine adjustments and confident close control, even at high speeds, making tight dribbling scenarios feel more manageable.
Consistent Performance Across Surfaces: Whether playing on a firm natural grass pitch or a modern artificial turf field, the Multi-Ground (MG) soleplate provides reliable traction, reducing the need to switch boots based on the playing surface.
Unboxing: Carefully remove the boots from their packaging.
Lacing: Loosen the laces before putting the boots on for the first time. This helps you slide your foot in easily, especially with the Dynamic Fit collar.
Wearing: Put on your preferred football socks. Carefully slide your foot into the boot, ensuring the Dynamic Fit collar comfortably hugs your ankle.
Tightening: Once your foot is fully seated, tighten the laces evenly from the bottom up, securing a snug but comfortable fit. Double-knot for security if desired.
Playing Surfaces: These boots are designed for Multi-Ground (MG) use, making them suitable for both natural grass (firm ground) and artificial turf surfaces.
User: Optimized for adult players.
Proper care extends the life and performance of your boots:
Immediate Cleaning: After each use, remove any excess dirt, mud, or artificial turf pellets from the soleplate and upper. A soft brush or damp cloth works best.
Wipe Down: For the NIKESKIN upper, gently wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Air Dry: Always allow your boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight, radiators, or use a tumble dryer, as extreme heat can damage the materials.
Stuffing: If boots are very wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using a boot bag for protection during transport.
