Traction
The Mercurial Vapor Superfly III Cleat features pressure-activated Nike SENSE technology that adjusts stud length according to surface type for the relentless grip and acceleration the game demands. Dual-density studs and Nike's Vapor Traction system allow for effortless cutting and instant acceleration, while cored out studs in the heel reduce weight and deliver rock-solid stability and added quickness. For instant bursts of speed, this cleat also has toe-off traction in the forefoot.
Support
For ultra-lightweight support, this men's cleat has innovative Flywire in a streamlined upper. Made of super-strong, thin nylon fibers that help hold the foot in place, Flywire reduces the cleat's weight, adjusts to the foot, provides support and increases ball feel.
Lightweight Design
Contributing to this boot's unprecedented light weight is a carbon-fiber chassis, which strips weight to the absolute minimum while maximizing strength. The contoured design mirrors the shape of the foot for an enhanced fit and feel, and the lightweight, perforated sockliner provides low-profile cushioning and support while reducing cleat pressure.
Origins
Nike's design team worked closely with athletes including Cristiano Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Alexandre Pato throughout the design process to create a cleat that enables toe-off acceleration and minimizes slippage in game-changing situations. Players emphasized that acceleration around a defender is just as important as beating him in a straight line. Through additional research, Nike found there were 845 slipping events over 63 games, or roughly 14 per game--a costly price that designers were determined to minimize with the creation of the Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly III.
