Obsessed with speed? So are the game's biggest stars. That's why we made the Vapor 16 Elite with an improved 3/4-length Air Zoom unit.

Welcome to the calm before the storm. With a relaxing colour palette, this LV8 boot is giving you the chance to breathe, reflect and prepare yourself for the biggest stage in football.
Nike Gripknit is a sticky material that provides better touch to the ball. The micromoulding texture moulds to the shape of your foot and gives equal grip in wet or dry conditions for a sculpted, track spike-like fit.
A unique 3/4-length Air Zoom unit is built into the traction plate, with a chevron stud wave pattern to help you grip the ground when you need it most.
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.

BEST. CLEATS. EVER.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] “BEST. CLEATS. EVER.” Those were my daughter’s first words to me as she walked off the soccer field wearing these new cleats. Both of my girls are very particular and both are big fans of these cleats. I hope this specific Elite shoe continues to be made for years to come.
Very good quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfy, they have good inside padding, and the grip knit is very impressive
Amazing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these cleats for my daughter and she absolutely loves them! She says they’re incredibly lightweight, comfortable, and give her great traction on the field. The fit is perfect and she feels faster and more confident during games. The quality is excellent and the design is even better in person. Definitely worth it
Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite LV8
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.
