FAQs
What is Dri-FIT technology?
Dri-FIT is a high-performance, microfiber, polyester fabric that moves sweat away from the body and to the fabric surface, where it evaporates.
Is this top true to size?
Yes, it features a regular fit, which is designed to be standard and consistent with typical Nike youth sizing.
Can this top be worn for activities other than soccer?
Absolutely. While it is designed for sports, the breathable fabric and athletic design make it perfect for running, gym class, or general daily wear.
Will the color fade after many washes?
Following the care instructions, specifically washing inside out in cold water, will significantly help maintain the vibrancy of the green and gold colors.
Is the material stretchy?
The polyester construction offers a slight natural stretch that allows for ease of movement, which is essential for athletic performance.
Troubleshooting
Shirt retains odor after washing
Soak the garment in a mixture of white vinegar and water for 30 minutes before running a standard wash cycle to neutralize trapped bacteria.
Snags in the fabric
Avoid contact with rough surfaces or sharp objects; once a snag occurs, carefully pull the thread back through to the inside of the shirt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Academy Top remains in top condition, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash inside out in cold water to preserve the fabric and printed details.
- Detergents: Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can break down the technical properties of the Dri-FIT material.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible, or tumble dry on a very low heat setting. Avoid high heat as it can cause the polyester to lose its shape or damage the Nike Swoosh logo.
- Ironing: Avoid ironing the garment, especially over the logos, to prevent melting or damage.
