We’ve weathered the thunder, and now we stand at the eye of the storm. Nike is stirring the winds with the launch of their all-new Phantom Vortex pack, donned with a fresh pattern across the Grip Skin texture of their Phantom GX II and Phantom Luna II boots.
Early December saw Nike roar in with the Phantom Thunder Pack, bringing together the Phantom GX II and Phantom Luna in complementary, storm-inspired colourways, accentuated with tempest motifs across the heel. These gusts are now followed by the Phantom Vortex pack – a sequel of a sort – which once again, brings the captivating twosome onto centre stage, leaving behind the Air Max Mercurial and Tiempo Legend in their wake.
But, please, bear in mind, this is not just another pack-up upgrade – it's a giant leap forward. The next-gen Phantom Luna II, paired with the GX II, recognizes the sweeping impact Phantom players bring to the beautiful game, resembling disruptive forces of nature.
Diverging from the Phantom Thunder pack, the Vortex pack stays current in terms of player preferences, singling out the Luna as the only high cut option displacing the GX II’s preceding Dynamic Fit collar version. The dominant visual prowess of this ensemble is the revolutionary grip-knit pattern, inspired by the ferocity and focus of a storm's eye, highlighted particularly on the forefoot strike zone.
This enhancement comes after extensive research and boot-to-ball maps studies, lining up with the push for the Phantom GX and Luna to serve as boots for the more attack-driven players. The heroic duo is expected to make a powerful impact on the pristine lawns of the football world.
Bathed in an enchanting "Green Glow/Black" mix, the distinctions between the two are now narrowed down to simply the collar. The GX II embracing the Cyclone 360 soleplate, while the Luna takes hold of the same Gripknit scheme coursing through the upper part.
From 8 January, you can dive into the Nike Phantom Vortex pack.
