Cristiano Ronaldo wouldn't be the competitor he is without setbacks. Designed to help you take it to the next level, this version of the Vapor 15 Academy features disruptive ripples that symbolize the trials we endure, while energetic greens represent the breakthrough that happens when we overcome obstacles. You also get an Air Zoom unit, which lets you put the pedal to the metal in the final minutes of a match, when it matters most.
- The Air Zoom unit in the heel sits in the outsole and provides an extra level of springy underfoot feel that helps you move quickly across the court. It creates separation when it matters most, whether you're scoring goals, being the first to receive the ball or getting past defenders.
- The unique traction pattern provides super-powered traction with a quick release to create separation.
- A new design improves the fit, to better simulate the foot. To do this, we carried out numerous wear tests on hundreds of athletes. The result is a more contoured toe box and better fit in the heel.
- The upper is made of NikeSkin, a soft and flexible mesh material connected by a thin layer. It allows you to control the ball and really gives the impression of playing barefoot.
- The speed cage inside the structure is made of a thin but strong material that secures the foot to the outsole without adding weight.
