Key Features
Air Zoom Unit: For the first time in the Mercurial line, a 3/4-length Air Zoom unit is built into the traction plate to provide a springy, propulsive feel and a high level of responsiveness. This cushioning technology is designed to absorb impact and return energy for quick movements.
Gripknit Upper: The upper is made of Gripknit, a sticky and flexible mesh material that provides exceptional ball control in both wet and dry conditions.
Traction: The soleplate features a unique traction pattern with a series of cascading studs that work with the Air Zoom unit to provide grip and explosive speed. The chevron and blade studs are designed for quick cuts and changes of direction.
Lightweight and Snug Fit: The cleat is constructed with a combination of Flyknit, AtomKnit, and Gripknit to create a thin, lightweight, and snug upper that brings the foot closer to the ball and shortens the break-in time. The low-cut design provides an agile feel.
