Our take
For my kid, the Mercurial Superfly 8 Academy cleats have been great value. At $27.59, they're a steal for a Nike FG boot. The black color is sleek, and the fit is true to size 5.5. On natural grass, the traction is effective. However, the synthetic upper is quite stiff and needed several games to break in. Also, the collar is lower, so ankle support is minimal. For the price, they're perfect for developing players who want a responsive boot. Just be patient with the break-in.
