It’s impossible to escape the soccer hype lately. Mostly stemming from the upcoming World Cup takeover of the US, Mexico, and Canada, the obsession with the beautiful game has taken over every corner of the sneaker industry and is inspiring some unique on-pitch and fan-targeted collabs.
As Patta and Nike celebrate a half-decade of Wavy Air Max 1s, the Dutch streetwear legends are pushing past the lifestyle catalog into the Nike Soccer line, adding its wavy paneling to two pairs of the Nike Mercurial Zoom Vapor 16 Elite FG cleats. Arriving in two pairs with grey mesh uppers, one features hits of teal on the wavy bottom section, while the second pair goes asymmetrical with black on the left shoe and monochrome grey on the right.

We got a look at the Aqua colorway last month, but it’s the Black White pair that stands out, with a completely different look on either cleat. Metallic silver paneling is added at the heel, and an iridescent pearl sole draws attention straight to the cleats.
The Patta x Nike Mercurial Zoom Vapor 16 Elite FG Waves Pack will be released May 5, 2026, through Patta, Nike, and select retailers in-store and online. Available in adult sizes with grade school pairs added for the Black and White pair, the retail prices are set at $320 for the men’s sizes and $150 for the kids’ pairs.
