The new Nike Mercurial Superfly 11 Academy TF Kids from the Break'Em Pack: pace for young keepers, the way Morocco's Yassine Bounou shows it.
The tough NikeSkin synthetic has a grippy surface and gives young goalkeepers a clean touch on goal kicks and build-up play. The knitted Dynamic Fit collar supports the ankle, and the TF outsole bites into artificial turf and hard courts with lots of small studs. A tip for parents: this football boot is a slip-on with no laces, so kids get in and out on their own.
THE KEEPER CHECK
For a young goalkeeper it comes down to confidence: the Dynamic Fit collar adds hold in the save, the dense stud pattern a steady base on clearances and when rushing out. Greece's Odysseas Vlachodimos is another keeper who plays the Mercurial.
