NIKE Academy II Football Jersey
The Nike Academy II Football Jersey is a training and match top designed for footballers who want a lightweight, breathable jersey for regular sessions. It suits senior players across club, school, and academy level in New Zealand, especially for football training and warm-ups on grass or artificial turf.
Nike Dri-FIT technology pulls sweat away from the skin so it can evaporate faster, which helps reduce that heavy, clingy feeling during high-tempo drills or full matches. The mesh back panel adds extra airflow where you need it most, especially in warm or humid conditions.
The slim fit is designed to sit close to the body without restricting movement, making it suitable for training, passing drills, and match play. Raglan sleeves support natural shoulder movement, while the ribbed neckline helps the jersey hold its shape through repeated wear and washes.
