Full details

For male adult attackers who demand explosive speed and superior ball control on firm ground.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Zoom Air unit?

The Zoom Air unit provides responsive cushioning and explosive energy return, helping you accelerate faster and feel more dynamic on the pitch.

Can I use these boots on artificial grass?

No, these boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) and are not recommended for use on artificial grass (AG) pitches, as it can damage the stud configuration and reduce performance.

How do I clean the Vaporposite+ upper?

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the Vaporposite+ material. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing to maintain its grip and texture.

What does 'AS' in the product name signify?

The 'AS' typically refers to the 'All-Star' or specific collection release, often denoting unique colorways or design elements like the special soleplate in this case.

How long is the Air Zoom unit?

The Air Zoom unit in this model is a 3/4 length unit, situated under the foot for comprehensive cushioning and responsiveness.

Are these boots suitable for players with wide feet?

The Mercurial Vapor line is generally known for a more performance-oriented, snug fit. Players with very wide feet may find them less accommodating; a try-on is recommended.

What is the main difference from previous Mercurial Vapor models?

Key advancements include the Vaporposite+ upper for enhanced ball control and grip, and the integrated 3/4 length Air Zoom unit for improved responsiveness and cushioning compared to some earlier models.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Allow for a break-in period on the training ground. Ensure laces are tied correctly, not too tight or too loose. If discomfort persists after several uses, consider if the size is appropriate or if the specific fit is not suitable for your foot shape.

Reduced traction on the pitch.

Check the FG studs for excessive wear or debris. Clean the studs thoroughly. Ensure you are playing on the intended firm ground surface; traction may be reduced on softer or wet ground.

Ball control feels less responsive.

Ensure the Vaporposite+ upper is clean and free of excessive mud or dirt. The grippy texture is most effective when the material is clean. Check for any damage to the upper material.

Soleplate appears scratched or damaged.

The chrome soleplate is designed for aesthetics and performance; minor scuffs and scratches are normal after playing on firm ground and do not typically affect performance. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These football boots are designed for an immediate on-pitch experience. Ensure the correct size for a snug, secure fit. The laces should be tied firmly but comfortably to maximize the locked-in feel.

Compatibility:

  • Pitch Type: Primarily designed for Firm Ground (FG). Suitable for natural grass pitches that are not excessively wet or muddy.
  • Not Recommended For: Artificial Grass (AG), Soft Ground (SG), or very wet/muddy natural pitches, as the stud configuration may not provide adequate grip or could lead to premature wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the boots are cleaned inside and out.
  • Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and affect the shape.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and moisture. Avoid storing in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
