Nike Zoom Mercurial Vapor 16 Pro FG - Yellow - UK 12
The ultimate expression of speed. Become untouchable on the pitch with Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Vap...The ultimate expression of speed. Become untouchable on the pitch with Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Vapor 16 Pro FG football boots in Limelight/Volt/Hyper Crimson. 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 Nike's traditional middle studs, and you've got the evolved chevron and blade studs working in tandem for quick directional changes. Then there's the lightweight, minimalist upper, which is made almost entirely of Flyknit. Wrapping the foot for unrivalled comfort and support, it's engineered to bring you closer to the ball than ever before. For control, there's a tacky skin finish, helping you dribble with precision to evade opponents. Mercurial range endorsed by Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, Cristiano Ronaldo, Sam Kerr, and Ada Hegerberg. Features Zoom Air cushioning with wave central forefoot studs for optimised energy return, a lightweight TPE soleplate with tuned flex zones for explosive spring and stability, nextgen chevron and bladed traction for speed in every direction, and a lightweight Flyknit upper with tacky finish for ultimate comfort and control. Includes a cushioned insole. Designed for firm ground.
The Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Vapor 16 Pro FG football boots are designed for adult unisex players seeking ultimate speed and responsiveness on firm ground. These boots feature Zoom Air cushioning for optimized energy return and a lightweight Flyknit upper for superior comfort and control. However, they are specifically designed for firm ground surfaces, so performance may be limited on other pitches.
