Finetuned for responsiveness, the nextgen Merc features a cascading wave of traction at the forefoot, which engages more of the Zoom Air unit when your foot meets the ground to generate increased energy return. Its simple but effective spreading out the contact area maximises the effect of Zoom Air and keeps you faster for longer. Plenty of grip too - the biggest of the wave studs is the same height as Nikes traditional middle studs, and youve got the evolved round and blade studs working in tandem for quick directional changes. Then theres the lightweight, minimalist upper, which combines multiple knit technologies in a design that brings you closer to the ball than ever before. Its the thinnest Merc upper to date, made up of just three layers. Flyknit provides the comfort, Atomknit the support, and Gripknit - thats right, the Merc has Gripknit now - the control. If youre not familiar with Gripknit, its a sticky, pliable, weatherresistant yarn that enhances boottoball connection and ensures your touch stays consistent in any situation. When youre dribbling at high speed, it helps you manipulate the ball with superior accuracy to evade opponents - ideal for Mercurial players. Mercurial range endorsed by Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, Cristiano Ronaldo, Sam Kerr, and Ada Hegerberg. Zoom Air cushioning with wave central forefoot studs for optimised energy return. Lightweight Pebax soleplate with tuned flex zones for explosive spring and stability. Nextgen circular and bladed traction for speed in every direction.
