Nike Mercurial Superfly - Yellow - UK 8.5

These Nike Mercurial Superfly X Academy SG Pro Anti Clog boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) natural grass pitches, which are typically wet or muddy. The metal-tipped studs provide optimal traction and grip on these conditions.

Anti-Clog Traction is a special soleplate treatment that helps prevent mud from sticking to the bottom of the boots. This ensures the boots remain lightweight and maintain consistent grip even in very muddy conditions.

No, spare studs are not included with these boots. Stud keys for tightening or replacing studs are also sold separately.

After use, remove loose mud. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap, and use a soft brush for the soleplate. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or submerge them in water.

The integrated Zoom Air unit provides responsive cushioning and energy return. It's designed to give you a springy, propulsive feel with every step, enhancing your speed and agility on the pitch.

It is not recommended to use SG-Pro (Soft Ground) boots on artificial turf. The metal studs can damage the playing surface and also cause excessive wear to the studs and soleplate of the boots, potentially voiding any warranty. It can also lead to discomfort and increase the risk of injury.

The NIKESKIN upper is designed to wrap the foot closely for a secure fit. While it offers some pliability, players with very wide feet might find the initial fit snug. It is always recommended to try them on to ensure comfort.

While Anti-Clog technology significantly reduces mud build-up, it's not entirely impervious to all types of mud or extreme conditions. Ensure your boots are clean before play. If the problem persists, check for any damage to the soleplate's surface that might compromise the Anti-Clog properties. On extremely heavy, clay-like mud, some adherence may still occur.

Verify that you are playing on a soft ground surface suitable for SG-Pro studs. On firm ground, these studs will not provide optimal grip and can feel unstable. Check all studs for wear, damage, or looseness; tighten or replace as necessary with a stud key (sold separately). Ensure your technique aligns with the conditions.

This is common with metal-tipped studs. Use a compatible stud key (sold separately) to regularly check and tighten all studs before and after each use. If a stud is missing or significantly worn, replace it promptly. Over-tightening can strip threads, so tighten until snug.

The Dynamic Fit collar might require a short break-in period to adapt to your ankle shape. Ensure you are wearing appropriate football socks designed for cushioning and support. Experiment with different lacing techniques to relieve pressure points, ensuring the collar is properly seated and not folded.

Like most new football boots, the NIKESKIN upper will soften and mold to your foot over a few training sessions. Wear them for shorter periods initially. Ensure you are wearing well-fitting socks, and consider wearing them around the house for a few hours before competitive play.
