Designed to spark quick sprints, the Vapor 17 Academys soft NikeSkin upper has you ready for takeoff. It combines with our exclusive lightweight plate to help fuel sharp turns and smooth changes of direction. The lightweight plate grips the field to fuel snappy bursts in tight spaces. The upper is made of NikeSkin, which helps provide ball control and truly gives you a feeling of barefoot soccer. Chevron studs on the outsole at the heel and forefoot provide traction for gripping both artificial and natural grass surfaces. Conical studs help you plant and pivot with ease.
