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!

Nike United Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite
Speed is scary. But with the Nike United Vapor 16, it's a total nightmare. Designed to give you and players like Lauren James and Salma Paralluelo a terrifying boost of acceleration, it's crafted with a 3/4-length Air Zoom unit and wave-like traction pattern.
Behind the Design: Nike United
The Nike United collection celebrates scary-fast athletes like Lauren James and Salma Paralluelo. We used color accents to represent how they channel their ambition into wicked brilliance.
Fast Traction
A unique 3/4-length Air Zoom unit is built into the traction plate, with a chevron stud wave pattern to help you bite the ground when you most need it.
Barefoot Touch
Nike Gripknit is a sticky material that provides better touch to the ball. The micromolding texture molds to the shape of your foot and gives you equal grip in wet or dry conditions for a sculpted, track spike-like fit.
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 athletes closer to the ball and shortening break-in time.
