Cristiano Ronaldo wouldn't be the competitor he is without setbacks. Made to help take your game to the next level, this version of the Superfly 9 Academy has disruptive ripples that signify the sagas we endure while energetic greens represent the breakthrough that arises when we overcome obstacles. You also get an Air Zoom unit, so you can put the pedal down in the waning minutes of a match—when it matters most.
Springy underfoot feel
The heel Air Zoom unit sits in the outsole and provides an additional level of springy underfoot feel that helps you move fast on the pitch. It creates separation when it matters the most—whether you're scoring goals, being first to the ball or going by defenders.
Dig in, take off
Unique traction pattern offers super-charged traction with quick release to create separation.
Improved fit
The soft, stretchy fabric wraps around your ankle for a secure feel. A redone design improves the fit, so that it better simulates the foot. We did this by conducting multiple wear tests on hundreds of athletes. The result is a more contoured toe box and a better fit in the heel.
Feel the ball
The upper has NikeSkin, a soft and flexible mesh material linked together by a thin coating. It helps provide ball control and truly gives you a feeling of barefoot football.
Drive your speed
The speed cage inside of the structure is made from a thin but strong material that secures the foot to the outsole without adding weight.
