The Academy Plus Ball's textured casing and Nike Aerowsculpt molded grooves help you optimize ball control so you can best showcase your skills at practice or during a match. Nike Aerowsculpt technology uses molded grooves to disrupt airflow across the ball for less drag and more stable flight. Rubber bladder helps maintain air pressure and shape. Textured casing has a consistent touch when passing, shooting and dribbling. Twelve-panel design provides true and accurate ball flight.
