Nike United Mercurial Superfly 10 Elite

To start off I really love the vibrant color of these soccer cleats. The color has a good ratio of green and purple, and the comfort is amazing. I am able to wear these for long periods of time, which is a differentiator with these cleats. They even have a pad like support to enhance the comfort and impact. It’s also cool that it comes with a bag and stickers. I also like the high top feature on the top that is a very nice sock like support that gives more comfort and stability while enhancing the look. The materials used on these shoes seem to be very durable and water resistant making these a great pair to last through the season in different conditions. Overall these cleats are some of the best shoes I've ever worn and are a significant upgrade from other pairs I have worn over the years. I think they definitely deserve a 5 out of 5 and I can’t name anything to improve because they are that well designed with comfort and performance in mind.

Just some background about me. I've played soccer for majority of my life at a high level and now enjoy coaching all age groups. Soccer basically became my personality because its all I ever had time to do. Over the years I have worn so many different brands and styles of cleats but they never lasted long because of how hard I play. However once I found mercurials especially the vapor model I have never once considered another boot. I have worn mercurials for easily 20+ years now and am extremely picky with what I use. I was hesitant when I saw how thin these new boots have become. In the past I was known to tear through sturdy leathers with my aggressive playstyle. Much to my surprise, the lightweight and socklike feel is a massive positive. My foot feels protected while still allowing me to be able to move or kick the ball any way I want without losing my touch. The ankle collar took me some getting use to because I've always worn the low cut models. The support is amazing, especially for my worn out joints that have been through more than their fair share of injuries. The ankle collar does not restrict ankle mobility or movements; it just gives the right amount of stability. Another thing I loved about these boots were that there wasn't a tongue so you feel the ball almost like you are barefoot without the sting of kicking a ball barefoot. You slide them on like a sock and adjust the laces the way you want. The laces are exposed but that is how I personally prefer it. The laces are thin and not in the way at all. As for the studs they were able to handle the lack of grass here in the desert and kept me from losing traction when making quick cuts or sprinting. The studs also work well on turf without feeling slowed down or caught. I honestly can't think of one thing to be upset by. They didn't take long at all to break in and didn't lead to blisters or achey feet. They breathe well, are flexible for any play style, and protect you from other players or hard kicks. Even in the short time I've used them, I feel like these boots will be able to keep up with me and hold up well in the long run. We also can't forget how beautiful the color is and how much it stands out while playing. I absolutely love this colorway and picked it over my usual neon bright colorways. You will not regret getting these.

This product was a no go for me. The fit was really snug and made them impossible to get comfortable in. While jogging on the soccer field, I had to change footwear due to the narrow platform of the shoe. Esthetically this shoe is amazing. The colorway is bright and vibrant. It’s a must for a smaller/narrower foot!
