The Nike Mercurial series has always been about speed, but for 2024, it's all about grip! In today's video we take a closer look at the new Nike Zoom Mercurial Superfly 10 & Vapor 16 Elites in the launch Blueprint colorway, both featuring a combination of Flyknit, Gripknit and Atomknit in the upper construction, along with all-new soleplate tooling to "improve" the feel of the Air Zoom unite underfoot! It all sounds great on paper, but how does it actually feel and perform? We discuss all of the tech, how the compare to teh previous generation and why these new Mercs might not be for everyone, even if you've been a fan of the series for a very long time!

[@tr4nnel752]

Regarding the grip knit, I feel that the grip wears of slightly (my experience from Phantom GX). I had some trouble adjusting when juggling a ball, but not anymore after a few sessions and I think that is mainly because the grip doesn't stay as grippy. Which in my opinion is a good thing, especially when you play on a dry AG pitch.

[@clay___doh]

I only wear the Superfly’s because they’re perfect for turf. No rubber bits ever get in my boots.

[@RegenTonnenEnte]

Nah if you want thin synthetic get the X Crazyfast or F50 or the Skechers Razor... the Knit Vapor is better.

[@Pindropphotog]

Or just have a wider fit variation instead of the sock superfly. Then the normal one can be slightly more narrow like the older ones

[@chanchaniceman]

Would have a low cut superfly and midcut version while the vapor remains with the synthetic upper it Vaporposite or a return to the Taijin synthetic uppers. Just miss the time when Vapor and superfly are two very different boots of the mercurial family.

[@askylx4548]

Nike should make their Mercurial Vapor and Superfly two completely different boots at the same time by making the Vapor have a traditional Teijin synthetic upper and the Superfly have a flyknit upper. Right now, the difference between these two boots is just the collar to give “ankle support,” which is completely ridiculous gimmick marketing that turns out to be good

[@marcocecchini3623]

I read that the upper also changes between the 2 shoes

[@robincagan462]

Been waiting for this one, they looked absolutely insane in the leaked olympics colorway. Just so sad that i have wider feet :(

[@pharaohsoccerp]

Honestly the best boot I ever wore were the Vapor 11s.

[@AshPil98]

I have the WC 2022 Vapor 15 Elite with the AG plate, amazing boots, was heavily tempted by the 25th anniversary packs, the pink/volt and very nearly took the plunge on the Mad Brilliance Pink/Black Euro 2024 pair, but held off for the new Vapor 16 Elite, the colourway is ok but I think that better ones will come, also waiting on the AG plate so perhaps it could be a wait for them to go on Nike By You (FKA NIKE ID)

[@keeganhopper5644]

I personally love this direction from Nike/Adidas in speed boots. Makes sense tbh. Soft, consistent, responsive, WITH a little bite on the ball for control. I feel like a lot of people love that combo. Basically a lean CTR-360 if you think about it

[@C41N4]

Love the review, as always 🙌🏽 Should ask J Mike about the boot cam he’s got in his reviews lately

[@kukwinko1426]

Josh, do you think they are good for wide fit?

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

They’re pretty well the same shape as the previous generation. If you’ve worn Mercs in the past and they felt good, these should fit you too. Are they wide fitting boots though, not exactly.

[@tn7328]

Difference between the 15 and 16 is night and day. The 16's actually fit human feet. The 15's were extremely painful and unwearable. The zoom unit seems more noticeable on the 16 as well.

[@khangnguyenan8620]

Hi Josh, in your opinion is this new upper an upgrade compared to Vapor 14 and 15?

[@muhammadyusufpradyanto2245]

I’m currently using the adidas speedportal.1 and i love them. I want to buy nike mercurial, but the question is, should i buy the superfly 9 or wait a little bit to buy the new superfly 10?

[@davidbugarin]

I’ve been playing in my Vapor 13s a lot recently, and I sometimes find myself wishing I had a bit more grip as the upper can feel a bit slick sometimes, especially in moist/wet field conditions. However, I’m relieved to hear that the grip on this upper is not as aggressive as the one on the GXs. Might be a perfect balance. I’ll prob still buy the Mizuno Morelia neo 4 MIJ non-beta’s as my next boot because I’ve always wanted to try them 😂 but nice work here Nike.

[@Danigxxiii]

When will they drop a colorway with the swoosh in the middle I hate the swoosh from mid toe area

[@yellohj2]

Just left my CR7 ch3 (discovery SP Portugal colorway) superfly AG at the field. Been using them since I got them in 2016. They were the gold standard. Now Looking at the 10 elite in black AG. Really looking forward to the flyknit. Thanks for info as always!!!

[@erickdiaz3437]

This comment might be too nerdy but there was a podcast that you said that the one thing that could’ve been improved in the Vapor 13 to make it perfect was if it could be a made of a one piece soleplate. Now with this generation being somewhat similar to the 13 in terms of the upper, that one-piece soleplate, similar studs, and the addition of air zoom, is this Vapor 16 an improvement over the 13s? You think this might be a Flyknit Ultra with zoom considering the grip (different but the closest in grip)?

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

If you wanted a Vapor 13 with more grip on the ball, I think it’s fair to say that this is an improvement. More grip from these than what Flyknit Ultra had as well

[@erickdiaz3437]

[@MauiWaue]

How much space do you have at from the end of the shoe to your toe? I’m typically a size 10 but trying to decide if I should get a 9.5. I have a about 2/3 of thumbs width of space at the front, but the rest of the shoe feels snug and secure

Even though it took 1-2 training sessions to get used to the grip knit they are my favorite boots by far.Before these I also had a pair of vapor 15’s and were very fond of them and as well. Do you think going back to the vapors for this new gen would be a good idea especially to someone who plays as a aggressive wingback?

They will probably sell out quick, but then get released again in another colour very soon just like the Adidas F50 just did in the purple, then the white version and then the Messi version. That's just my opinion though not factual

[@SpiderByte9710]

This *particular* colour way will be very limited, chances are you won’t get your size if you don’t cop within the first hour or two. That said, they will release an in line colourway pack after the Euros/closer to the start of next season. So you should be able to pick em up then. They’ve done this for every launch since the Vapor 14s/Superfly 8 generation.
