These are the best cleats for attackers compared to many other cleats. To begin with the Mercurial cleats are among the lightest boots and give out amazing traction making them very good for speedy wingers.This is because the cleat is made of light material which helps out for the player as it is worn by one of the fastest football players in the world. For example Cristiano Ronaldo and Kyllian Mbappe wear these cleats to become a more speedy and faster dribbler. Another reason is they are very light, very durable, and have great protection for the foot and ankle.The almost sticky skin on the upper part of the cleat is designed to assist with your touch, passing and shooting, while also offering protection.

The cleat also features a “Speed Cage” design which basically means that they’re tighter, sleeker, and more durable than ever. Lastly the cleats comes with many colorways so you can customize it however you want.Critics may argue about not getting their cleats after 2 months but im sure that the company will get that fixed soon enough, other than that there really aren’t any problems with the cleat itself....

Amazing Cleats
These cleats are amazing!The texture of the cleats are really nice and the grips on the outside of the cleats really help make contact with curve with the ball. The fit is true to size and they fit really well, just like Nike cleats typically fit. The positioning of the studs on the bottom are so beneficial with stability, control, and the ability to have that on different styles of field, whether it’s firm ground or artificial ground. One thing I love about these cleats that I have been judgement with Nike about is the cushion on the Achilles. Typically with Nike cleats, there isn’t a lot of cushion on the inside back of the cleats where the Achilles is which causes blisters. But these cleats are different. As you can see in the picture, there is cushion on the ...

As you can see in the picture, there is cushion on the back of the cleats specifically for the Achilles. The additional touch with the drawstring bag is a fantastic complementary gift. Well done, Nike!... Show more

Minimal, clean and comfortable
I have been adding soccer into my routine for a few years now. I mostly run long distance, and I utilize several Nike shoes in my rotations. These Elite's are no joke. I have a slimmer foot profile and these feel just like wearing my racing flats. I used that as a guide for the sizing. The run a little slim if you aren't used to that you may want to size up. The upper material gives great feel for the ball and helped with my control. We haven't had any matches yet but during several two hour trainings I never felt uncomfortable, even new out of the box. I believe even in back to back matches they will stay comfortable.I love a clean shoe and these are very minimalistic but the neon green makes it really pop. Even after several trainings, they were fairly dirty but ... MoreI have been adding soccer into my routine for a few years now.

Even after several trainings, they were fairly dirty but cleaned up rather easily.I think so far my favorite thing is the feel. From the lightweight and snug upper, to the grip you get on grass (even in winter!) the Elite's don't disappoint. The only major unknown is the durability. How are they going to hold up through a Spring season in the slop, I can't wait to find out!... Show more

My First "Big Leauge" Shoe
These shoes are outside of the ordinary for me. In the past, I'm always so focused on budget, that I am willing to deal with poor durability, poor fitment, and poor comfort. This set of shoes changed all of that.PROS: The fit is incredible. I was worried when I opened them up that they would be too small, but in reality, the sides of the shoe are so thin they fit like a glove. With such a tight fit though, be prepared to spend some time lacing them up. The construction of the shoe is robust, with the fabric being molded directly into the plastic bottom. There is no glue to fail, which decreases weight and improves durability.CONS: The color I selected was a little boring. In hindsight, I wish I had chosen a brighter color-set that would standout on the pitch. ... MoreThese shoes are outside of the ordinary for me.

Not for wide width feet but made a statement
Just like the title states this show is not meant for someone with wide width feet. When I first put them on I was able to see I was going to have some comfort issues with this cleats. After smashing my foot in them I had to start moving around immediately cause of the discomfort. After some time I did feel like it started to break in a little and that helped but it was only a little. Even with the discomfort i did enjoy the “sick” like style which gave that form fitting feel around the ankle. Made it feel like it was actually part of my skin and that it just flowed with my body. Style wise these cleats are slick looking and definitely make a statement when seen on the field. I got a few comments about them and was asked about them so that scored me some points. The ...

THE shoe for the pitch
When looking for a soccer boot, I’m usually very particular. I’ve been playing soccer for my whole life and have been through my share of cleats and these are up there with some of the best I have ever worn. Nike is my usual preferred brand, but I had not given this style a try until now. They are light-weight and feel like nothing on my foot but are extremely durable. They aren’t bulky and there isn’t anything added to the shoe to weigh them down, which I like. I appreciate the grip that they give on the pitch as well.The look of the shoe is very attractive. They aren’t flashy, they’re simple, but have a nice look to them. They are exactly what I want when I’m looking for a certain style.The cleats come with a drawstring bag which is a nice extra.The only con ...

Once sizing is right, these are a definite 5/5 stars.... Show more

Wow! Amazing shoes!
I usually do lots of research before I commit to a shoe and everything about these cleats were amazing when I was looking into them! They are such a great shoe and perfect for playing sports! I coach my sons soccer team year round and in the winter we are indoor. These shoes held up so well and I also am on a co-ed soccer team and I was getting soreness in feet after playing back to back games and with these shoes I did not have that issue at all! They are on the slim fit side but my feet are not wide so they fit great! They are stretchy yet snug all at the same time which provides ideal comfort when you are playing a sport! The design has just the right amount of style and still being a neutral shoe that matches most clothing! I love the black look with the bright ...

I love how they hold up during games and how they feel on my foot when I am playing! I also love the bag they come in- it makes it really easy to store them after playing and keeping the rest of my bag clean! I would not change anything about this shoe- maybe add a few more designs so if I decide to purchase more I can switch up the colors but overall I give these cleats a 5 star review, Nike has always been in my top 5 shoe brands and I think they just moved to #1!...
