Nike Mercurial Air Zoom Superfly X Elite

Odysseas Vlachodimos trusts the Nike Mercurial - the Mercurial Air Zoom Superfly X Elite LV8 FG from the Heat Up Pack delivers uncompromising speed on natural grass.

The synthetic and textile upper is 30% thinner than its predecessor, featuring a micro-zigzag pattern for direct ball feel on goal kicks and drop kicks. GripKnit technology enhances the ball contact zone, while the legendary Dynamic-Fit collar creates a seamless transition from foot to ankle. The FG outsole with Speed Fins provides explosive traction on firm ground, and the AIR ZOOM Strobel cushioning absorbs impact throughout 90 minutes.

For goalkeepers, the high-cut design makes the difference: the compressive collar locks down your ankle during diving saves and rapid direction changes in the box. When rushing out in 1-on-1 situations, the Speed Fins deliver instant acceleration, while AIR ZOOM cushioning protects your joints on hard landings. Compared to the low-cut Vapor, this football boot offers significantly more stability around the ankle.

KEEPER RATING - The textured strike zone gives you control and spin on precise drop kicks. The Dynamic-Fit collar keeps your ankle locked in during explosive saves - an advantage trusted by keepers like Kasper Schmeichel and Michele Di Gregorio. The Mercurial is also the choice of Vanja Milinkovic Savic.
