Benefits

Traction
The Nike Mercurial Vapor VIII FG Soccer Cleat features Vapor Traction, a multidirectional cleat pattern designed for instant acceleration and quick cuts in any direction. Inspired by racing spikes, grip zones in the forefoot allow for quick bursts of speed. Dual-density, direct-inject cleats at the heel deliver durable traction, support and outstanding surface penetration for greater speed, and are positioned to help prevent grass build-up. For extra grip, there's also a midfoot cleat.
Fit
For ultra-lightweight support, comfort and a great fit, this soccer cleat features soft, supple and ultra-thin Teijin synthetic leather. It's specifically designed to fit around the foot like a second skin, delivering natural touch and enhanced traction while ensuring nothing goes to waste.
Lightweight Design
Contributing to this cleat's light weight is a full-length glass-fiber plate, which reduces weight while maximizing strength. It helps transfer foot-planting energy directly to the cleats, reducing cleat pressure and providing instant support and stability.
