The Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite Firm-Ground Low-Top Soccer Cleats feature an improved 3/4-length Air Zoom unit that gives you the propulsive feel needed to break through the back line. The wave-like traction pattern works with the Air Zoom unit to unlock blazing speed. It takes up more surface area of the Air Zoom unit compared to the Vapor 15 while providing the right amount of grip. It combines with chevron and blade studs to help you stop when making cuts. Nike Gripknit, a sticky material that provides exceptional touch to the ball, gives you the control you needs when dribbling at high speeds. It provides equal grip in wet or dry conditions. The Flyknit upper, engineered for the game's fastest players, provides a sock-like fit. It combines with Gripknit to form the thinnest Mercurial upper to date, bringing you closer to the ball and shortening break-in time. These low-top cleats are for use on dry, natural-grass fields. The cleats feature a cushioned sockliner and lace up fastening.
