These are easily among the best soccer cleats I've ever worn . I'm now on my second pair, and I couldn't be happier with them! I usually wear a size 8 1/2, but I decided to order a size 9 based on the reviews I read, and they fit perfectly. Just a note for those with narrow feet like mine!

Obsessed with speed? So are the game's biggest stars. That's why we made these Elite cleats with an improved 3/4-length Air Zoom unit. It gives you and the sport's fastest players the propulsive feel needed to break through the back line. The result is the most responsive Mercurial we've ever made, because you demand greatness from yourself and your footwear.

Fast Traction
The wave-like traction pattern works with the Air Zoom unit to unlock your blazing 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.
Exceptional Touch
Nike Gripknit, a sticky material that provides exceptional touch to the ball, gives you the control you needs when dribbling at high speeds. It provides equal grip in wet or dry conditions.
Snug Fit
The Flyknit upper, engineered for the game's fastest players, provides a sock-like fit. It combines with Gripknit to form the thinnest Mercurial upper to date, bringing you closer to the ball and shortening break-in time.
