The Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Vapor XVI Elite AG Pro is engineered for players who prioritize speed and precise ball control on artificial grass. The integrated Zoom Air unit directly under the forefoot provides a noticeable 'spring' when pushing off, translating into more explosive sprints and quicker acceleration to beat defenders. Its unique 'wave of traction' design maximizes contact, keeping you faster for longer throughout the match.
For dribblers and playmakers, the Gripknit upper is a game-changer. This sticky, pliable material ensures the boot-to-ball connection remains consistent whether the weather is dry or wet. This allows for superior accuracy when manipulating the ball at high speeds, helping you to evade opponents with confidence.
The Pebax soleplate offers tuned flex zones that work in harmony with the traction pattern, providing both stability during sharp cuts and an extra 'kick' for explosive take-offs. The combination of circular and bladed studs is specifically designed to dig into artificial turf, offering reliable grip for quick directional changes and powerful pushes, reducing the risk of slipping. This makes the boot ideal for attacking players, wingers, and midfielders who rely on rapid changes of pace and precise control in tight spaces.
Your new Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Vapor XVI Elite AG Pro boots arrive ready to wear. Simply unlace them, insert your foot, and tighten the laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. It's recommended to wear them for a few short sessions before a full match to break them in and allow the upper to mold to your foot shape.
Playing Surface: These boots are specifically designed for Artificial Grass (AG-Pro) pitches. Using them on natural grass or other surfaces may reduce their effectiveness, cause premature wear, or void any performance claims.
Sizing: This specific model is a UK 4 (adult sizing) and is designed for adults. Refer to Nike's official sizing guide if you are unsure of your size.
Gender: Classified as Unisex, suitable for all players.
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your boots:
Clean After Each Use: After every match or training session, remove excess dirt and mud from the soleplate and upper. Use a soft brush or cloth and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Rinse Thoroughly: If using water, make sure to rinse off any soap residue.
Air Dry: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as high heat can damage the materials and adhesives.
Remove Insoles: For faster drying and to prevent odor, remove the insoles after use.
Stuff with Newspaper: If boots are very wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Store Properly: Store in a cool, dry place. While a boot bag is not included, using one can help protect them during transport.
