Really impressive ball control and quality of materials.

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.
