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 Elite.
The 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. Evolved chevron and blade studs pair perfectly with the wave-like traction for acceleration, deceleration, and all kinds of quick cuts.
Now occupying even more surface area on the cleat, Nike Gripknit is the sticky material that provides better touch to the ball when dribbling at high speeds or going for goal. Plus, it molds to the shape of your foot and gives you equal grip regardless of weather conditions for a sculpted, track spike-inspired fit. Micromolding texture works with the Gripknit to help form to your foot.
Tying it all together with a quintessential snug fit is the full Flyknit upper, which is engineered for speed. Atomknit, a lightweight and strong Flyknit, on the sides provides support and lessens weight. These materials combine to create the thinnest Mercurial upper to date. Get closer to the ball than ever before.
