Nike Men's Zoom Vapor 16 Academy Cleats

Bought for my nephew. And he is well happy. Not had chance to wear them yet due to weather conditions look good and true to size

My soccer cleats are super comfy and I am cooking in soccer bc of them!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To start with, this is the third pair of Zoom Vapors I’ve had. I’ve been in love with the shoe since it first launched, as its flexibility (mobility) and look are unrivaled. This latest version is a great new take on a classic design. The material feels incredibly light (better contact on the ball), yet durable—all while being made with at least 20% recycled materials. Fit: These are true to size, possibly a tiny bit small, but that’s a positive in cleats. The shoe itself, is, like most other Zoom Vapors, on the more narrow side. It’s designed to be snug on your foot on the pitch. If you have wider feet and intend on wearing thick socks, maybe order a half size up. Look: This is my favorite Nike cleat to date. With its all black design and very subtle swoosh and accents, it looks incredibly sleek—even the cleats and sole are dark. This color scheme is going to look the best, the longest, as it will hide all of the scuffs (and dirt) from regular use. Quality of Materials: I’d give it a 9/10 on quality. The shoe feels incredibly durable and performs well on the pitch. I’m only detracting 1 point as the tongue feels too thin and potentially weak. To be clear, it hasn’t torn or had any issues, but I just worry that it might. Overall: I’ve loved wearing them and their performance is fantastic. The shoes are comfortable, secure, and with their thin design, you have immense control when striking the ball. I’m a huge fan of the color scheme, though, I wouldn’t complain if there was a tiny more color popping on the swoosh (maybe a dark grey?). Beyond that, the only other change is perhaps a slightly thicker tongue on the shoe, for both protection and peace of mind. Highly recommend these cleats!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cleats fit true to size. They are flexible enough to keep you stabilized during motion and planted in the field. As long as you lace them tight, you should not have any issues long term. I could run in them just as fast as any shoe. The matte black material is pretty breathable with a subtle shine. I like wearing black shorts and black socks with these. The material surprisingly did not scuff and provided adequate protection in a game of soccer. I don’t think I would change anything about them. Attached is a photo before the game.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Zoom Vapor 16 Academy cleats feel like top of the line comfort boots with every step. The zoom air technology incorporated into the boots is noticeable by providing comfort and functionality. With every step and push off, I felt the boot propel and jolt me forward. The grip from the stud pattern also felt very sturdy on multiple playing surfaces. My initial 10+ hours in the boots on firm ground and turf fields allowed me to break the boots in pretty quickly and adjust them to my feet. These are slimmer boots with a more snug feel if you go true to size. A half size up in these would be my recommendation if you like a little room in your fútbol cleats. They feel like great materials so far and don’t get overwhelmingly hot in sunny playing conditions. The simple boot design will allow for some stunning color combinations. Overall the cleats are a great use of comfort technology with a simple design to allow for boots with great fit, form, and function.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nike Zoom Mercurial Vapor 16 soccer cleats are great for their performance, comfort, and innovative design. I loved the all black color way, which went with everything and was easy to clean. Here are some key aspects that make them stand out: 1. **Fit and Comfort**: The cleats offer a snug, glove-like fit, they were true to size. The internal structure ensures stability without compromising flexibility, which is crucial for quick movements on the field. 2. **Traction and Stability**: The strategic placement of studs enhances stability during sharp turns and rapid sprints, giving players confidence in their footing. Offered excellent traction while playing on turf, which I mostly did. 3. **Performance**: For shooting and dribbling, the cleats excelled. My shots were clean, ball went on target. While dribbling, I had no problem with the cleats because they helped keep my control. 4. **Durability**: The cleats are constructed with high-quality materials that ensure they can withstand the rigors of regular use. The durability of the upper and the strength of the soleplate make these cleats a reliable choice for serious athletes. Used on mostly turf fields, they did not get affected too much. 5. **Design**: Aesthetically, the blacked out Zoom Mercurial Vapor 16 cleats have a sleek and modern design. Overall, the Nike Zoom Mercurial Vapor 16 soccer cleats are an excellent choice for players looking for a combination of comfort, performance, and durability. They are particularly well-suited for players who rely on speed and agility, offering a competitive edge on the field.

They look class. But I think the outskirts of the shoe may be a little weird in my opinion. But all in all, great boots!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, this pair of soccer cleats provides a positive experience for the sport. Putting them on was not the worst, although opening up the tongue one more eyelet would make it feel more comfortable to slip on. The shoe feels great on the foot as it provides a snug, comfortable fit that molds perfectly to the shape of my foot, ensuring maximum comfort and control on the field. There is less cushion where the ball hits your foot the most, which makes contact with the ball more controlling. As a whole, the design of the shoe is standard yet unique to the world of soccer. The inside and outside fabric is smooth and soft, while the bottom cleats hold firm to the ground. The shoes feel breathable without making it feel like my feet are sweaty. I would definitely continue to use this pair and would recommend it to others looking to enjoy a kick-around or perform at a high level!
