Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Nike Mercurial Academy boots, ensure you are playing on the correct surface—specifically 3G artificial grass. To care for them, clear any rubber pellets or turf infill from the outsole after every game. If the boots become dirty, use a soft brush and warm water to remove debris from the upper. Avoid using harsh chemicals or placing them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the synthetic materials and the adhesive bond of the soleplate. Always allow them to air dry naturally in a cool place, avoiding direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the material to crack.
