While everyone wants top-end football boots like the pros, not everyone can afford them. In the case of the Nike Mercurial series, while the Elites get all of the marketing attention, it's the much cheaper Academy model that sells the biggest numbers. But here's the thing, they just aren't very good, and haven't been for a while. That is until now.
In today's video we take a closer look at the new Nike Zoom Mercurial Vapor 15 Academy, a heavily updated take on a budget friendly Mercurial, that incorporates more tech and more premium materials than we've ever seen before at this price point! How do they differ from the Vapor 14 they replace and how do they compare to the much more expensive Elite version? We discuss all of that and more, helping you decide whether or not these are actually worth the money. Do you like the changes Nike have made?

All of the Academy versions of the Nike Vapor, Superfly, and Phantom are low-key useful for people that have to play on both natural and synthetic grass surfaces, because their cleats are designed for both FG and MG surfaces -- the more expensive Pro and Elite versions of these boots are recommended for FG surfaces only.

I would still opt for the 14 academy. I know it feels cheap, but it's more comfortable and doesn't require breaking in period. In the end, you'd want to focus on the game rather than focusing on your feet. I have the 14 academy for my rotation during training or match, I guess I'm more a rounded studs folk than the bladed studs folk

This character development from Nike is ridiculous. They used to punish -poor- non-wealthy athletes who bought into the Nike hype at any pricepoint other than the absolute peak highest most overpriced. The top tier shoes were usually good-great, certainly never perfect, but the lower end shoes always injured me. Nike was str8 up crushing the dreams of young athletes. I hated them as a company, the shoes were always so bad it would've been better that they didn't even make them. Your vid on the Mercurial 15 TF Academy convinced me to try and buy them. Solid. lightweight and comfortable shoes. Are they perfect? Nowhere close. Are they the best turf shoe on the market while also being cheap? Yes. Am I commenting on the wrong video? Perhaps.
