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.
