As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Air Max 95, it?s only right we toast the rarefied AIR allegiance between the lifestyle icon and meteoric Mercurial. This special Vapor 16 Elite nods to our most iconic Air Max colorway and combines it with our most responsive Mercurial ever. From the glossy heel to the embroidered Swoosh logo to the plate graphic, this mashup matches the original shoe worn by lightning-fast superstars and one of the greatest teams ever.

Design:

• Atomknit, an incredibly lightweight and strong Flyknit, on the sides tapers weight and provides support
• The Gripknit, Atomknit and Flyknit combine to form the thinnest Mercurial upper to date, bringing you closer to the ball and lessening break-in time
• Nike Gripknit is a sticky material that provides better touch to the ball, It takes up more surface area, creating more room to control the ball when dribbling at high speeds
• It molds to the shape of your foot and gives you equal grip in wet or dry conditions for a sculpted, track spike-like fit
• Micromolding texture works with Gripknit to help form to your foot for even better cleat-to-ball strikes.

In-Shoe Comfort:

• Three-quarter length Air Zoom unit in the plate

Durability & Traction:

• The wave-like traction pattern is a series of cascading studs, so it engages more surface area of the Air Zoom unit while also providing the appropriate amount of grip
• The biggest stud is the same height as our traditional middle studs, so traction is not compromised
• They are paired with evolved chevron and blade studs to help you stop when making quick cuts
