8 × 13 mm + 4 × 14 mm – precision-focused traction

This aluminium stud configuration is designed for Nike Mercurial, Phantom, Tiempo and Premier football boots.

The setup 8 × 13 mm in the forefoot and 4 × 14 mm at the heel supports the natural movement pattern of a football player's stride.

Why are the rear studs 1 mm longer?

During acceleration the first contact with the ground happens at the heel. A slightly longer stud in this area helps stabilise that moment before the body weight transfers forward.

• 13 mm forefoot – precise surface interaction
• 14 mm heel – controlled initial ground contact
• 1 mm difference – subtle biomechanical support

Smooth sole behaviour

This layout maintains fluid movement while improving stability during the first phase of acceleration and directional changes.

It is particularly effective during:

• explosive first steps
• sharp directional adjustments
• controlled braking
• play on well-maintained natural grass
