Based on the official 2024/25 Premier League winter soccer ball, the Nike Premier League Academy ball looks just like the ones used by Erling Haaland, Martin Odegaard, Virgil van Dijk, Bruno Fernandes and Ollie Watkins at the pinnacle of the club game. After more than 20 years of memorable designs, the 2024/25 winter ball will be Nike’s final Premier League ball. A vibrant yellow base is elevated with colors from the iconic PL palette and the legendary PL lion logo to evoke memorable soccer balls of the past – from the beloved Nike Total 90 Aerow I to the more recent Nike Merlin – and mark the end of an era. The eye-catching design makes sure that the ball stands out against the field, so you can track it come rain, snow or shine. Designed for elite training sessions, the Academy ball features Nike Aerowsculpt molded grooves that disrupt airflow to reduce drag and keep the ball stable in the air, so your powerful shots and long passes always find their target. The textured casing improves your touch and helps you to bite into the ball with each strike, whether you’re playing crisp short passes or digging a cross out at the corner flag.
