Created to enhance mobility without creating strain

Nike Jr. Mercurial Vapor 16 Academy
Little/Big Kids' Turf Low-Top Soccer Shoes
Looking to take your speed to the next level? We made these Academy shoes with an improved heel Air Zoom unit. It gives you the propulsive feel needed to break through the back line. The result is the most responsive Mercurial we've ever made, so you can flash your speed and put the ball in the back of the net.

Amplified Touch
The upper is made of NikeSkin with embedded chevrons, which helps provide ball control and truly gives you a feeling of barefoot soccer.
Fast Traction
The rubber outsole provides traction on turf surfaces.
Snug Fit
We??ve upgraded the stretch mesh from the previous generation to an adaptable knit that offers flexibility, provides support and brings you closer to the ball.
