The Nike Phantom Luna II Academy FG MG football boots are engineered for adult male players who prioritize agility and precision on the pitch. Designed to help you make game-defining, disruptive plays, these boots offer enhanced ball control and rotational movement across both natural and artificial grass surfaces. While optimized for dynamic performance, players should note the 'Academy' designation means they are a step below Nike's top-tier professional models.
NIKESKIN Technology: The upper is made from a grippy NIKESKIN material, enhanced with integrated Strike Zone texturing, ensuring improved close control and a clean connection with the ball in all weather conditions.
Asymmetric Heel Design: Features an asymmetric heel section with offset seams, specifically designed to reduce the risk of irritation and provide lasting comfort during play.
Cyclone 360 Soleplate: A revolutionary soleplate with a circular arrangement of bladed forefoot studs, enabling superior rotational movement for quick braking, changes of direction, and powerful acceleration.
Multi-Ground (FG/MG) Versatility: The soleplate is suitable for both natural firm ground and artificial grass surfaces, offering flexibility for various playing environments.
Dynamic Fit Collar: A soft, stretchy collar that wraps around your ankle, providing a secure and comfortable feel throughout the match.
Off-Centre Lacing: The lace fastenings are positioned off-centre, creating a larger, cleaner striking area on the instep for more effective shots and passes.

The Nike Phantom Luna II Academy FG MG boots are built for players who dictate the game through quick changes of direction, precise passing, and lethal finishing. The combination of NIKESKIN and the Strike Zone texturing on the upper means that every touch, dribble, and pass benefits from enhanced control, even in wet conditions. You'll find laser-guided passes and powerful shots come with greater consistency.
Agility & Turns: The Cyclone 360 soleplate is a standout feature, allowing you to brake quickly, change direction sharply, and accelerate explosively without feeling excessive strain on your joints. This makes it ideal for tricky attacking midfielders or wingers who rely on quick, rotational movements.
Ball Control: Imagine receiving a difficult pass, and the grippy NIKESKIN upper helps it stick to your foot, giving you immediate control to make your next move. The Strike Zone ensures your pinged passes and shots have a clean, consistent contact point, improving accuracy.
Comfort & Support: The asymmetric heel design significantly reduces common irritation points around the Achilles, ensuring comfort throughout 90 minutes. The Dynamic Fit collar provides a snug, sock-like feel, making the boot feel like an extension of your leg.
Versatility: Whether you're playing on a pristine natural grass field or a modern artificial turf pitch, the Multi-Ground (FG/MG) soleplate provides reliable traction, making these a go-to option for varied playing conditions.
Lacing: Unlace the boots fully. Slip your foot in, ensuring the Dynamic Fit collar sits snugly around your ankle without bunching. The off-centre lacing allows for a larger strike zone; adjust the laces to achieve a secure, comfortable fit that isn't too tight or too loose across your instep.
Break-in Period: Like all new football boots, allow for a short break-in period during light training sessions to mold them to your foot shape for optimal comfort and performance.
Surfaces: These boots are designed as Multi-Ground (FG/MG), meaning they are suitable for use on both natural firm ground pitches and artificial grass surfaces. Avoid using them on soft, muddy natural grass or very hard, abrasive artificial turf to preserve their longevity and performance.
Wearer: Designed for adult male players (UK size 9).
Cleaning: After each use, wipe off any mud or dirt with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, a soft brush and mild soap can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), as this can damage the synthetic materials and glues.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, ideally with newspaper stuffed inside to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Product Label: Always refer to the product label inside the boot for specific care instructions, as recommended by Nike. The composition is primarily synthetics and mesh.
