FA22 NIKE AIR ZOOM MERCURIAL
Built from the ground up for the modern footballer, the Air Zoom Mercurial features an articulated, three-quarter length Zoom airbag that sits directly inside of the plate of the boot bringing the foot closer to the ground for an even greater sense of snappy, propulsive energy return. The new Zoom airbag features flex grooves that provide flexibility and natural movement of the foot to better fit the needs of dynamic movement in football.
“Being a Mercurial athlete, I’m always thinking about fast. I want to be faster than my opponent” says French Forward Kylian Mbappe. “What excited me most is that this technology is revolutionary. Air is what’s really going to put the Mercurial athletes in the best conditions to perform.”
The upper features a new evolution of Vaporposite. Called Vaporposite+, the upper combines a grip-enhancing chevron mesh with a Flyknit lining that helps with ball control at high speeds.
The Air Zoom Mercurial also debuts another new feature: a Tri-Star stud pattern. The new stud design helps footballers move laterally as well as downhill for faster play in all directions. This stud pattern will be available on all models across Men’s, Women’s and Kids.
