Yes I have a pair of these. I bought them for $40 Australian.
They are very light, but still quite strong. The little leg sleeve you get for them is a nice touch, but don't be fooled thinking you won't need tape. These things will slip down your leg and you'll need to use tape on your socks to keep them up. Other then that they are very good feel, you barely notice them. But the protection area is quite small and I've found that they aren't good for high tackling positions. I'd probably recommend the Mercurial Elite as they have and ankle guard, but I haven't used them.
Other then that, they are light but strong shinguard.

haha shinguards are shinguards man. those do look cool though
very cool shinguards!
I tried em on and I prefer my J Guards. The mercurial alpha lites are 30 bucks more and they are clunky imo...
iv got these and i think they depend on what position you play:
to be honest i dont think they are any good for a defender as the arnt the biggest shinpad.
if your an attacking player though they are the perfect shinpad: light, strong and look awsome.
BTW You can always buy nike ankle protectors for £5. i wear tape but they seem to fit when you dont have the tape on. the shinpad is one of the only shinpads i have worn that actually keep your leg cool and comfy. 9/10
i would recomend them to attackive players or people that just want to show off and say that ''i own a pair of nike mercurial shinguards''

sorry about the double post. seriously after returning these shin guards to the store twice because of a split in the stitching on the sleeves. The stitching is very weak. unless you want to tape these pads i suggest getting a different pair. cus for £20 a problem is just not acceptable.
well i got mine for 15 dollars on ebay so we will see when they get here
be careful and check the sleeve for any weak stitiching.
Get the mouldable t90 shinpads, best shinpads ive ever bought, you boil them and they mould to your specific leg. The sleeve makes sure that they dont slip at all
If you look at the brand new eurosport which i think has beckham on the front page if you go to the manchester united gear section you can see the rooney wears the mercurial alpha lite.
Just means he gets paid to endorse a product. The t90 mouldable is still better IMO because it moulds, it will fit and fit perfectly. Thats the best thing about it, it wont slip during a match.
