NIKE AIR ZOOM MERCURIAL VAPOR XVI ELITE SE FG
The ultimate expression of speed. Become untouchable on the pitch in the Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite SE FG football boots. Celebrating the Mercurial legacy, chapter two of the Cosmic Speed series combines elements of classic colorways from 2012 to 2015, showcasing shifting hues alongside iconic NIKE block branding on the rearfoot.
Optimised for responsiveness, the next-gen Mercurial features a cascading traction wave in the forefoot, engaging a larger Zoom Air unit as your foot lands to generate more energy return. It's simple but effective: spreading out the contact area maximises the effect of the Zoom Air and keeps you faster for longer. There's plenty of grip, too: the largest of the wave studs is the same height as Nike's traditional centre studs, and you have the evolved chevron and blade studs that work in tandem for quick cuts of direction. Then there's the lightweight, minimalist upper, which combines multiple technologies in a design that brings you closer to the ball than ever before. It's the thinnest Mercurial upper to date, made up of just three layers. Flyknit provides comfort, Atomknit provides support, and Gripknit (yes, Mercurials now have Gripknit) provides control. If you’re unfamiliar with Gripknit, it’s a sticky, flexible, weather-resistant yarn that improves boot-to-ball connection and ensures your touch remains consistent in any situation. When dribbling at high speeds, it helps you manipulate the ball with superior precision to elude opponents—ideal for Mercurial players.
