It gives you and the sport's fastest players the propulsive feel needed to break through the back line. The result is the most responsive Mercurial we've ever made, because you demand greatness from yourself and your footwear.
The wave-like traction pattern works with the Air Zoom unit to unlock your blazing speed. It takes up more surface area of the Air Zoom unit compared with the Vapor 15 while providing the right amount of grip. It is combined 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 need 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 is combined with Gripknit to form the thinnest Mercurial upper to date, bringing you closer to the ball and shortening break-in time.

Great cleats
Vault16
Comfort- these cleats are very comfortable and it feels like they’re barely there, however they aren’t the best for people with wide feet. Performance- they feel light and have great grip and touch on the ball. Value- great value, top quality cleats definitely worth the price but are extremely hard to clean.

Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite
Players who rely on pace, quick acceleration and sharp changes of direction, combining explosive responsiveness, premium touch and a locked-in fit for fast, attacking style of play.
Nike Gripknit is a sticky performance material designed to deliver exceptional touch and maintain control when dribbling, receiving and attacking at speed, in both wet and dry conditions.
The improved 3/4-length Air Zoom unit creates a propulsive feel underfoot, helping support quick acceleration, explosive takeoffs and fast attacking runs from the first step.
Firm Ground (dry, natural-grass pitches) and Artificial Grass (longer, artificial grass pitches).
These boots are built with a snug, speed-focused contoured fit that closely follows the natural shape of the foot. Players who prefer a little more room may consider ordering a half size up.
The main difference between these two Mercurial franchises is in the collar height. The Vapor features a low-top design, while the Superfly adds a Dynamic Fit collar around the ankle for a more sock-like, locked-in feel.
Mercurial Elite models feature Nike's highest-level performance materials and technologies, including premium touch materials, advanced traction systems and the most responsive underfoot feel. Pro models deliver many of the same design ideas at a more accessible price point.
The Vapor 16 Elite updates the underfoot feel with an improved 3/4-length Air Zoom unit, expands traction coverage with a wave-like outsole pattern for better acceleration and grip, and introduces the thinnest Mercurial upper to date for a faster break-in time.
Wipe dirt off after play, remove mud from the studs and let these boots air-dry naturally. Avoiding direct heat and cleaning regularly helps preserve fit, feel and long-term performance.
