Nike Mercurial Superfly 11 Academy

They were a little hard to put on, but they're comfortable, flexible and form to my feet. Had good traction running in them, was able to make quick cuts. I like the ankle support and the design of the cleats. The cleats seem to be well made and seem like they'll hold up for the season.

This is a great option for a training shoe. The high top option gives you ankle stability and is great on all training turfs or grass fields. It’s easy to get on and is comfortable to wear around your ankle. The shoe runs narrow in my opinion, I do have a wide foot so you may want to size up a half size for extra toe box room. I really like this option for training purposes if not needing to wear the entire shin guard and long socks combination. It was a little hot having these over longer socks during the summer heat. But if you have weaker ankles this may be a great option to give you more stability as well. I really enjoyed the vibrant color option too!

I was able to play with the new Nike Mercurial Superfly 11 Academy Multi-Ground High-Top Soccer Cleats for a fee days. The real first thing that stood out to me was the design. I really liked the neon green Nike logo on top of the black matte-like finish. The textured lines also gave the cleats a sleek look. I also liked the Mercurial logo mark on the back of the collar. It was small detail fits so well! The fit had a different feel than what I’m used to. These cleats have an extremely snug feel all around the foot, especially through the middle of the foot and toe area. I usually have a little bit of room to move my toes, but that wasn’t really the case here. Even though they felt very tight, the ball did stay on the cleat really well. I had great traction and control while dribbling, and I felt good about taking powerful shots. I did notice was that they felt a little clunky when playing on the wetter ground. They still moved well on dry grass too. After playing for a while, they started to feel a little bit heavy and my feet got more tired than I expected. If I could change one thing, I’d make the fit just a little less tight and use a more lightweight material. I think that would make them feel quicker and easier to move on foot while still keeping its integrity. Overall, I think these are solid cleats. They look great, provide great ball control and traction, and I’ll definitely keep them around and keep playing in them.
