The stars are out. It's the return of the Nike Mercurial Dream Speed collection, and these head-turning cleats are ready to make a statement during the darkest and chilliest months of the soccer calendar. As the days grow shorter, make sure that your game continues to stand out with the MDS 009 and the Vapor 16 Academy.
The upper of this Vapor 16 is made up of NikeSkin, featuring embedded chevrons – designed to help provide ball control and boost your touch.
A wave-like traction pattern features a series of cascading studs, built to engage more surface area of the Air Zoom unit, while providing the necessary amount of grip. In terms of stud height, the largest stud is the same height as Nike’s more traditional middle studs, which helps maintain traction. Moreover, Nike paired those traction traits with evolved chevron and blade studs, built for instant deceleration and quick cuts.
Nike updated and upgraded the stretch mesh from the previous Merc generation; it’s now an adaptable knit that offers flexibility and support.
