We expanded the NikeSkin touch zone from the previous version. This brings your foot even closer to the ball for better control while dribbling and passing in wet or dry conditions. It covers the striking area of the cleat, stretching from the big-toe side all the way across the laces to the pinky toe, allowing clean boot-to-ball kicks. Nike Cyclone 360 traction pattern helps you make quick (improved agility when making cuts) and confident (helps reduce rotational traction) movements, so you can cut with speed while feeling fully secure when the game's intensity turns up. The anatomical mesh cuff offers soft comfort around your ankle and heel. Subtle ribs in the cuff allow for ball contact higher up the ankle in trapping and passing.
