Let’s face it: soccer is a flashy sport. And it doesn’t just stop at jerseys and cleats. While you can’t see them through the socks, shin guards are also beginning to take on a more modern look to please athletes both aesthetically and in terms of performance.
A perfect example of this is the Nike Mercurial Lite shin guard collection, one of the more popular models amongst amateurs and pros alike. The ultra-light Mercurial Lite is smaller than traditional shin guards, making it even more comfortable and versatile on the soccer pitch.
The shin guard consists of a high-density foam cushioning unit bonded to a sleek, aerodynamic shell to give players the ability to focus on getting the ball into the net without having to worry about incoming tackle attempts from defenders.
The Mercurial Lite features an anatomical design that conforms to each leg like a glove. The shin guards come with a Dri-FIT sleeve for lightweight breathability and lasting comfort during intense match play.
