Nike Gripknit is a sticky material that provides better touch to the ball. It takes up more surface area, so you have more room to control the ball when dribbling at high speeds or finish a play with a shot on goal. It moulds to the shape of your foot and gives you equal grip in wet or dry conditions for a sculpted, athletics spike-like fit. The micro-moulding texture works with Gripknit to help form to your foot for even better boot-to-ball strikes.
The wave-like traction pattern is a series of cascading studs, so it engages more surface area of the Air Zoom unit while also providing the appropriate amount of grip. The biggest stud is the same height as our traditional middle studs, so traction is not compromised. We paired the wave-like traction with evolved chevron and blade studs to help you stop when making quick cuts.
The full Flyknit upper is engineered for speed. AtomKnit, an incredibly lightweight and strong Flyknit, on the sides tapers weight and provides support. The Gripknit, AtomKnit and Flyknit combine to form the thinnest Mercurial upper to date, bringing you closer to the ball and lessening break-in time.

I brought these boots from another company but they say mud isn’t covered on the warranty. After my son wearing them just twice they are now a mucky grey all over the front section of the boots. I have followed the cleaning instructions on Nike website, nothing gets them clean. They advertise how they are designed for muddy conditions, obviously not. I expect better from a your brand especially given the price, can only assume it’s a design issue. A very disappointed customer!!
Colour changed from SG after only 3 wears!

Boots are a great fit but have only worn them 3 times & they are stained on the top where the material is different. These boots are now brown from playing on a muddy pitch on top & blue everywhere else & as the mud is ingrained it will not wash out!!! They are supposed to be for SG so very poor this has happened sadly.
