Nike Mercurial Vapor XVII Elite FG Cleats With Propulsion

Engineered for firm-ground play, the Mercurial Vapor XVII Elite FG cleats integrate Nike Air Zoom propulsion to support propulsive strides with every touch. The Air Zoom unit delivers responsive lift aligned to world-class benchmarks, while a wave-like traction pattern and cascading studs maximize surface contact for controlled grip during rapid accelerations. The tallest stud height matches the mid-row for consistent traction through dynamic moves. Advanced studs—evolved chevron and blade configurations—work with the surface-area-focused pattern to support acceleration, deceleration, and quick cuts. Nike Gripknit enhances ball touch at high speeds, and the micromolding texture forms to the foot for a secure, weather-agnostic grip. The snug, track-spike-inspired fit is reinforced by a full Flyknit upper, with Atomknit on the sides for additional support and reduced weight. Together, these materials create the thinnest Mercurial upper to date, helping players get closer to the ball and react faster on the field.
