Obsessed with speed? So is Kylian Mbappé. That's why we made these Elite cleats with an improved 3/4-length Air Zoom unit. It gives you, and Kylian, 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 Kylian's 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 Kylian stop when making cuts.

Exceptional Touch

Nike Gripknit, a sticky material that provides exceptional touch to the ball, gives Kylian the control he 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 Kylian closer to the ball and shortening break-in time.

  • Comfortable

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Straight out of the box, already felt broken in. I’ve worn other brand cleats but always come back to these. Never lets me down.

  • Good cleats

    Presley792152115

    They are very good cleats and recommend they are a little more expensive but the cheaper ones are just as good and are very light

  • My son loves these cleats

    VeraY

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was hesitant to buy after reading some reviews but my son has had these for couple of months and so far he loves them. They are comfortable, he was able to break them in immediately, no blisters, no pain, they adjusted to his feet right away. Very comforbale and I hope they will last - at least until his foot grows, he's only 12 :)

Which surfaces is the Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite designed for?

Firm Ground (dry, natural-grass fields) and Artificial Grass (longer, artificial grass fields).

How does the Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite fit, and how should players size this cleat?

These cleats are built with a snug, speed-focused contoured fit that closely follows the natural shape of the foot. Players who prefer a little more room may consider ordering a half size up.

What is the difference between the Mercurial Vapor and the Mercurial Superfly?

Mercurial Elite models feature Nike's highest-level performance materials and technologies, including premium touch materials, advanced traction systems and the most responsive underfoot feel. Pro models deliver many of the same design ideas at a more accessible price point.

How do these cleats differ from the Mercurial Vapor 15 Elite?

The Vapor 16 Elite updates the underfoot feel with an improved 3/4-length Air Zoom unit, expands traction coverage with a wave-like outsole pattern for better acceleration and grip, and introduces the thinnest Mercurial upper to date for a faster break-in time.

How should these cleats be cleaned and cared for?

Wipe dirt off after play, remove mud from the studs and let these cleats air-dry naturally. Avoiding direct heat and cleaning regularly helps preserve fit, feel and long-term performance.
