Fast Traction
The wave-like traction pattern works with the Air Zoom unit to help unlock your speed. It takes up more surface area of the Air Zoom unit compared to the Vapor 15 while providing the right amount of grip. It combines with chevron and blade studs to help you stop when making cuts.
Amplified Touch
The upper is made of NikeSkin with embedded chevrons, which helps provide ball control and truly gives you a feeling of barefoot soccer.
Snug Fit
We’ve upgraded the stretch mesh from the previous iteration to an adaptable knit that offers flexibility, provides support and brings you closer to the ball.

What Reviewers Say
These cleats are praised for comfort right out of the box, with minimal break-in needed. Fit feedback suggests sizing up, especially for wider feet, as they tend to run narrow and small. The grip performs well on both grass and turf, and the style earns consistent approval. Easy to put on and comfortable for all-day wear during soccer play.
