Crack! A bolt of lightning and a thunderous arrival – enter Nike's Phantom Thunder pack, entwining Phantom GX and Phantom Luna in complementary colour schemes, heightened with tempestuous sketches across their heels.
Regarded as the dynamic duo of Nike's present boot collection, there's no trace of the Air Zoom Mercurial or Tiempo – a storm of anticipation brews as Nike introduces the Phantom Thunder pack. Excuse the touch of drama (dare we say, corny? We promise we'll do better!) but this twin boot ensemble, featuring the Phantom GX and the Phantom Luna, symbolises a shift in player alternatives. Of note is the Luna, now the sole high cut option, replacing the GX’s progressive fit, collared model.
Both boots are introduced in a "Fuchsia Dream/Barely Grape" scheme, yet the real spotlight is on the heels and baseplates. Here, illustrations of lightning bolts illuminate the surface, diverse in their black base on the GX against a white backdrop on the Luna.
Of particular interest in the Phantom Luna is the novel Cyclone 360 soleplate. The pioneering circular stud arrangement positioned near the front, giving athletes the ability to navigate the field with agility, precision, and a sense of assured confidence. A micro-moulded texture in the upper part ensures improved boot-to-ball striking courtesy of a Gripknit mechanism. Subtle ribs in the cuff enable superior ball contact, providing an exceptional play experience even in unpredictable pitch scenarios.
In a masterfully executed plan of action, the Phantom GX now proudly reveals its Nike Gripknit technology. This remarkable combination involves the amalgamation of high-endurance yarns met with a meticulously executed treatment to birth what we now know as Gripknit. This orchestrated fusion presents an unparalleled interaction with the football, delivering the ideal degree of cling.
