Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Academy IC is ready to use right out of the box, though players may find that the NIKESKIN upper molds more comfortably to the foot after a few sessions. These shoes are fully compatible with standard indoor sports flooring and concrete courts. To maintain the life of your boots, avoid wearing them on abrasive outdoor surfaces like asphalt or gravel, as this can wear down the specialized rubber outsole prematurely. After use, wipe the boots down with a damp cloth to remove court dust and debris. Do not machine wash; allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the synthetic materials.
