Fast traction
The wave-like traction pattern works with the Air Zoom unit to unlock Kylian's 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 Kylian stop when making cuts.
Exceptional touch
Nike Gripknit, a sticky material that provides exceptional touch to the ball, gives Kylian the control he needs when dribbling at high speeds. It provides equal grip in wet or dry conditions.
Snug fit
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 Kylian closer to the ball and shortening break-in time.

Good luck cleaning these boots
AmielA212642644 - 20 Nov 2024
I was so excited to get these boots because they look so good but after 1 game the whole gripknit upper was brown/black, good luck cleaning it as it’s stitches that turns it brown/black. I tried washing it and it made it even darker so I just left it as is. I have the Vapor 15’s they are still pretty clean after a year.. these boots sure do look nice out of the box but enjoy it while it’s fresh cause you won’t be able to clean it. It also rubs on the back of my heel unlike the Vapor 15s and phantom gx2. Will not be buying any Vapor 16s.
