We have been using Nike Academy level boots for my son for a few years as the Nike range fits him best. We have decided to take a step up in the quality of the boots and these really are impressive. He's had a couple of training sessions and one game and quite honestly, he is overjoyed with the boots. He is a baller, loving close up and technical skills and these boots are providing a distinct improvement in ball control. A joy to watch. he plays left wing and is also loving the greater control when shooting and taking corners. The price point means they should be good, and fortunately they are. We have discovered the Elite range is comes up smaller than the Academy range, so we ended up a full size large in these than we expected (started with 5, then 5.5 and settled on the 6). The higher quality of materials is evident in the snug fit, tacky feeling of the "control features" on the front of the boots, how the main material of the boot just becomes the smaller elastic area under the laces (whereas in the lower range boots there is a seam at the end of the main boot's material and then that is stitched to the wider elastic section). My son even thinks he can tell that the stud design is providing him more grip. All in all, we couldn't be happier and hope to keep finding these on sale near the end of each season.

Exceptional touch
Nike Gripknit is a sticky material that provides exceptional touch to the ball. It covers the striking area of the boot, stretching from the big-toe side all the way across the laces to the little toe, allowing clean boot-to-ball kicks. It moulds to the shape of your foot and gives you great grip in wet or dry conditions. Micro-moulding texture works with Gripknit to help form to your foot for even better boot-to-ball strikes.
Quick traction
Strategically placed in the forefoot, the Cyclone 360 circular traction pattern helps you plant and pivot with speed.
Snug fit
Asymmetric lacing offers a large touch surface when dribbling, passing and scoring. A repositioned lacing pattern allows for increased midfoot adjustability to accommodate players with flatter or higher arches. Flyknit material provides snugness and shape to help bring comfort around the collar.
