About this product
The Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Academy By You Custom Firm-Ground Low-Top Soccer Cleats in Black, size 11, are part of the Nike Anti-Clog product line. These cleats feature a synthetic upper and a firm-ground plate designed to prevent mud from sticking. With a low-top profile, they offer a lightweight feel on the pitch. Priced at $150.00, they are customizable through Nike By You, though the specific pair here is not personalized.
Our take
The Anti-Clog technology is a standout in these cleats—mud doesn't build up under the studs, which is a game-changer on wet pitches. The black colorway is versatile, and the fit is true to size. The synthetic upper is stiff initially but softens with wear. At $150, they're pricey for the Academy level, but the mud-shedding feature justifies the cost for players in damp conditions. On the downside, the midsole cushioning is basic, and the upper lacks the premium feel of higher models.
