nike auto dt 96 blackholographic Elite and Pro versions of the Air Force High Premium Le 14. Yes, the Air Force High Premium Le 14 Academy performs well but it still is not comparable to the higher-tier models when it comes to shoe techs and overall material quality.
Those who want their toes to be as snug as the rest of the foot may also go for the Elites and the Pros.

Given its fairly low price, there is really not much to complain about the Air Force High Premium Le 14 Academy because it just offers so much value. One expert says that it is "actually pretty good" in terms of overall performance, making it quite a solid option if you consider what others at the same price offer.
Though its 7.7 oz (219g) weight is around the average 7.65 oz (217g), it still manages to make an expert reviewer feel that it has an "impressive weight."
Given all that has been said about the soccer cleat, one reviewer finds it fit to conclude that "Nike does a better job than anybody else" at this price range. For him, the Air Force High Premium Le 14 Academy MG is simply the most practical pick.

This shoe actually has an MG (which stands for Multi-Ground) attached to its name, and boy did it live up to that Trainers! An expert says that it has a "phenomenal stud pattern" that performs "well above average." Because of this, another expert concludes that the Vapor 14 Academy is indeed a "really good MG option", especially when you compare it with other soccer cleats from the same price range.
The soleplate delivers some spring back
A soccer player does not hold back on his praises for how the soleplate of the Air Force High Premium Le 14 Academy performs. He says that it has a "decent amount of stiffness" from the midfoot down to the heel, but the forefoot is quite on the flexible side. This clever setup allows the shoe to deliver a "decent amount of spring back" that allows the player to run with better efficiency.
You really can't expect luxury!
Priced at around $80 per pair, a reviewer expects the Air Force High Premium Le 14 Academy to be made of materials that are "far from feeling really premium." Even the tongue, which still helps with support, is described by another as "a little bit on the plasticky side." He also points out that this soccer cleat can look "a little bit cheap."
But cheap doesn't really mean low-performing
Athletes are very clear on one thing: just because a soccer cleat feels and looks cheap does not really mean it is going to be a letdown when it comes to performance on the pitch. In fact, a reviewer describes the synthetic materials, especially around the forefoot area, to be "super nice" and "super soft" so it's able to deliver a "nice touch on the ball." Another player says that this part provides a "decent barefoot sensation." Given all these benefits, it is not surprising if players are able to have more control and experience less ball-handling difficulties when they are wearing the Mercurial Vapor 14 Academy from Nike Soccer.

Like perhaps all NIKE AIR MAX 90 QS VIOTECH2.0 28cm, the Air Force High Premium Le 14 Academy has for the most part a snug fit. It is also made of materials that deliver a "decent amount of responsiveness." It must be noted here that because of how soft the upper is, the toe area may not be as form-fitting as the rest of the shoe. This may or may not be a problem, depending on whether or not a roomier toe box is preferred.
This shoe's heel part is described by an expert to have a "really nice" shape, allowing it to deliver much-needed support in that area.
