FAQs

What surfaces are the Nike Mercurial Superfly 9 Academy IC designed for?

These shoes are specifically designed for indoor courts (IC), including asphalt, concrete, and general indoor flooring.

Does the Zoom Air cushioning need to be 'activated'?

No, the Zoom Air cushioning is always active and provides responsive comfort from the first wear.

Can I wear these on a grass football pitch?

No, the IC outsole is not designed for grass pitches and will not provide adequate traction. It is intended for indoor and hard court surfaces only.

How do I clean mud off the shoes?

Use a soft brush or slightly damp cloth to remove mud. Avoid soaking the shoes or using high-pressure water.

What is the benefit of the NikeSkin upper?

The NikeSkin upper is thin and flexible, providing an enhanced feel for the ball and better control during play.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The fit is generally described as standard. While the NikeSkin upper offers some flexibility, players with very wide feet might find them snug. A break-in period may help.

What is the main difference between IC and FG/AG cleats?

IC stands for Indoor Court and features a flat rubber outsole for grip on smooth indoor surfaces. FG (Firm Ground) and AG (Artificial Grass) have cleats designed for traction on softer or artificial turf.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Allow for a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure laces are adjusted properly, not too tight. If discomfort persists, the size may not be suitable.

Slipping on the court

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from excessive dust or mud. The IC outsole is designed for specific indoor surfaces; performance may vary on unconventional indoor flooring.

Excessive wear on the outsole

These shoes are designed for indoor/court use. Use on abrasive outdoor surfaces like concrete will accelerate outsole wear.

Water damage to materials

Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submerging the shoes in water. Clean with a damp cloth and air dry.
