Looking to take your game to the next level? Academy shoes give you the precise touch you need to unleash your innermost playing instincts. Featuring NikeSkin and a mesh contact patch for better ball control, plus an agility plate designed to swerve and sprint with you, they're ready to ignite your spontaneous playing spirit. An expanded NikeSkin contact zone, powered by engineered mesh, brings your foot closer to the ball for better control when dribbling and passing, whether in the wet or dry. The upper is soft and almost knit-like, while the contact area inside the shoe is raised for a better feel. The asymmetry of the heel provides comfort. Soft elements in the heel facilitate the break-in process and help reduce chafing and pressure without compromising stability and structure. A generative outsole texture gives you traction on the street, court and indoor surfaces.
