These Academy Nike cleats feature an improved heel Air Zoom unit for a responsive feel. The upper is made of NikeSkin with embedded chevrons to provide ball control. The wave-like traction pattern is a series of cascading studs, so it engages more surface area of the Air Zoom unit while also providing the appropriate amount of grip. The stretch mesh is upgraded from the previous generation to an adaptable knit that offers flexibility and support. These low top, athletic cleats are for use on natural and synthetic surfaces and have a cushioned insole.
