About this product
The Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite is a top-tier firm-ground soccer cleat for men's size 9, released in 2025. With a black/ice blue/white colorway, it features a low-top design, lace-up closure, and synthetic upper with foam insole. The outsole is synthetic with plastic cleats for traction. Weighing in as a speed boot, it includes moisture-wicking and non-slip features. Priced at $164.00, it targets elite performance on firm pitches.
Our take
The Vapor 16 Elite feels incredibly lightweight and responsive. The synthetic upper with textured grip gives good ball control in wet conditions. The outsole's plastic studs provide aggressive traction on firm ground, but I found them a bit harsh on harder surfaces. The fit is narrow, so if you have wide feet, this might not be for you. The price is steep, but you get top-end speed features. Just expect a break-in period.
