Nike Mercurial Vapor 17 Academy Multi-Ground Low-Top Soccer Cleats

I would rate these cleats a 3.1 out of 5. The first thing that caught my eye was the design. They’re definitely a good-looking pair of cleats. The colorway is clean, they have a sleek profile, and they look fast just sitting there. Nike always does a great job creating shoes that stand out on the field.

The fit was true to size, but the overall feel wasn’t as comfortable as I expected. They…

Good but not perfect low top

I had the chance to test out the Nike Mercurial Vapor 17 Academy Multi-Ground Low-Top Soccer Cleats, and overall I really enjoyed playing in them. Because these are the low-top model, they felt a little bit looser than what I’m used to. I was hesitant because I usually like my cleats to have a tighter, more grippy feel. On the field they performed really well. I was still able to make quick cuts…

Great pair of cleats!

I really like these Nike Mercurial Vapor 17 Academy Multi-Ground Low-Top Soccer Cleats. They have a sleek, stylish look that makes them stand out on the field without being too flashy. I love the streamlined design and how clean they look when you’re wearing them. They’re also super lightweight, which I really appreciate when I’m running around and making quick movements. They don’t feel bulky or…

Nike Mercurial Vapor

The Nike Mercurial Vapor 17 Academy Multi-Ground cleats fit true to size and felt lightweight and comfortable. They performed well during quick movements and provided good traction and a secure fit throughout play.

I liked the bright colorway and the overall design. The textured upper gave me good touch and control on the ball, and the materials felt durable while still being…

Versatile

The multi-ground performance of these cleats is impressive. It has been a seamless transition using them across different surfaces, and they are incredibly easy to put on for workouts, matches, and practicing on turf. I prefer the Vapors because they always fit true to size, feature a great design, and provide excellent ball control.

I highly recommend these cleats for summer use. When it…

cleats

These cleats felt lightweight as soon as I put them on. They never felt bulky, so it was easy to move quickly and change direction. The upper gave me a nice close touch on the ball, and the traction felt solid on both natural grass and artificial turf, especially when accelerating or making quick cuts. The low-cut design also kept them feeling secure without restricting movement.

The fit is…

Vapor’s are undefeated

Solid pair of cleats to wear on firm ground fields. Didn’t feel any discomfort and didn’t feel my foot slip inside the boot. I normally wear a 9.5 and these felt slightly tight, I’d recommend getting a .5 size up for a more tire to size feel. The upper felt good and had a decent touch on the ball. They are light and thin but still felt comfortable throughout the practice sessions. The tongue felt…

Awesome "beater" budget, practice cleat!

Really good, "beater" pair of cleats for kickarounds and practice. Very budget-friendly. The first thing that stands out is the weight -- as light as it gets. No frills -- classic low-top, standard laces. Just everything that's always worked. Runs slightly snug, but snug is good for soccer... but if you are in between sizes, maybe go up 1/2 a size. This thing is built for speedy players -- ideally…

Nike Mercurial Vapor 17 Academy Multi-Ground Low-Top

Fit & Feel:
The fit is snug and secure, though they do come up a bit tight, particularly around the toe box. After a while, it can feel like your toes are being squeezed, so I'd recommend going up half a size, or even a full size if you prefer a bit more room.

Design:
They have a sleek, aerodynamic design that looks sharp on the pitch. They're stylish without being too flashy and…

5 star shorts

I’ve been looking for a baggy fit pair of shorts for a long time and these fit the bill. Fit around my waist perfectly with enough length that I feel great about. And with the Nike tech material it is very light and airy. If they made these in other colors I would be the first in line.
