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
A unique 3/4-length Air Zoom unit is built into the traction plate, with a bladed wave pattern to help Kylian bite the ground when he most needs it.
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.
Snug Fit
The Flyknit upper, engineered for the game's fastest players, provides a sock-like fit.

What does the Air Zoom unit underfoot do in this cleat?
The improved 3/4-length Air Zoom unit creates a propulsive feel underfoot, helping support quick acceleration, explosive takeoffs and fast attacking runs from the first step.
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?
The main difference between these two Mercurial franchises is in the collar height. The Vapor features a low-top design, while the Superfly adds a Dynamic Fit collar around the ankle for a more sock-like, locked-in feel.
What is the difference between Elite and Pro Mercurial cleats?
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.
