Fine-tuned for responsiveness, the next-gen Merc features a grippy soleplate with hybrid traction to enable quick changes of direction as you shift through the gears. Then there's the lightweight, minimalist upper, which is made from a pliable synthetic. Wrapping the foot for unrivalled comfort and support, it's engineered to bring you closer to the ball than ever before. For control, there's all-over texturing, helping you dribble with precision to evade opponents. And to get the boots on and off faster than ever, there's a hook-and-loop strap to secure the fit.
