Stay quick, stable, and supported in the Nike Zoom Vapor 16 Academy IC—the most responsive Mercurial ever, designed to dictate pace and tempo. Featuring a NikeSkin upper with embedded chevrons, these shoes offer maximum ball control and a propulsive feel necessary to break through the back line. The stretch mesh from the previous generation has been upgraded to an adaptable knit, providing maximum flexibility and support to help you dribble the ball through the field. Plus, the cushioned insole ensures maximum shock absorption and reduces the risk of injuries. Rounded off with an improved heel Air Zoom unit, the Nike Zoom Vapor 16 Academy IC offers better stability and a responsive fit to help you dominate the game and streets alike. Rubber outsole provides multidirectional traction on street, court, and indoor surfaces.
