Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite FG

Unsettlingly cool. Scarily fast. Play with wicked speed wearing Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite FG football boots in Silt Red/Racer Blue. Part of the Nike United Ch.2 collection worn by stars like Lauren James and Salma Paralluelo, this serene colourway channels the terrifying sense of calm top athletes display on the pitch, striking fear as they ruthlessly dispatch opponents.

Fine-tuned for responsiveness, the next-gen Merc features a cascading wave of traction at the forefoot, which engages more of the Zoom Air unit when your foot meets the ground to generate increased energy return. It’s simple but effective: spreading out the contact area maximises the effect of Zoom Air and keeps you faster for longer. Plenty of grip too – the biggest of the wave studs is the same height as Nike’s traditional middle studs, and you’ve got the evolved chevron and blade studs working in tandem for quick directional changes.
