Fast traction
The wave-like traction pattern works with the Air Zoom unit to help unlock your 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 combines with chevron and blade studs to help you stop when making cuts.
Amplified touch
The upper is made from NikeSkin with embedded chevrons, which helps provide ball control and truly gives you a feeling of barefoot football.
Snug fit
We've upgraded the stretch mesh from the previous iteration to an adaptable knit that offers flexibility, provides support and brings you closer to the ball.

Tongue poorly connected
Billlllll - 08 Oct 2025
Tongue tore completely from insides by 6th use. Poorly affixed, apparently with glue? Will have to live without it or toss at a $90 loss
Great shoe
