Shinpads, or shinguards, offer vital protection for the lower leg, absorbing and deflecting impact forces to help prevent injury. They’re so important, in fact, that FIFA deem them compulsory for play at every level of the game. The ref won’t let you over the white line without a pair.
Their resilient construction guards against painful cuts and bruises from wayward tackles, and their key function is to protect the otherwise vulnerable tibia – the shin bone – from potential fractures.
There are various types available, made from straightforward plastic to the latest impact-reactive materials, with or without sleeves and straps, in many shapes and sizes. It’s up to you what style you wear but always make sure your shin is adequately covered. Remember: any exposed area is putting you at risk of a serious injury. Stay safe and stay on the pitch.
Nike Mercurial Lite Superlock Shinpads
Play with confidence wearing Nike Mercurial Lite Superlock Shinguards in White/Black/Metallic Gold Coin, featuring SuperLock technology for an even more secure fit.
Equipped with a layer of tiny spikes on the front, the SuperLock version of the Mercurial Lite shinpad locks into the fibres of your socks to help keep the pad in place – and punish opposition players who take a swipe at your shins.
The guards themselves are designed for Mercurial players, so they’re lightweight and low-profile, featuring soft, perforated EVA cushioning to absorb impacts.
