Extended Product Information

Performance & Real-World Use\nThe Nike Phantom Luna II Academy Firm Ground Football Boots are crafted for players who demand precision and stability on firm natural grass. The NikeSkin material covering the striking area is pivotal, providing an almost barefoot-like feel for the ball. This allows for exceptional touch, making it easier to control passes, dribble with confidence, and execute powerful shots with accuracy.\n\nWhen you're sprinting down the wing, making sharp cuts, or preparing for a shot, the Nike Cyclone 360 plate offers reliable traction. Its stud configuration ensures you maintain stability, minimizing slips and maximizing energy transfer for explosive movements. This stability is crucial whether you're clearing the ball from your own half, pinging a cross-field pass, or taking a decisive shot on goal.\n\nThe Dynamic Fit collar not only provides a secure, locked-in feel around your ankle but also adds to the overall comfort, allowing you to focus on your game without distractions. The off-centre lacing system expands the clean strike zone on the instep, which is particularly beneficial for players looking to enhance their striking power and precision. This design helps create a more uniform contact area with the ball, leading to more consistent and accurate kicks.\n\nThese boots truly shine on firm, dry natural grass pitches. The Firm Ground (FG) soleplate is not recommended for artificial turf or wet, muddy conditions, as it may not provide optimal grip or could lead to premature wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care\n\n### Setup\n1. Preparation: Ensure you are wearing appropriate football socks for comfort and fit.\n2. Putting On: Gently slide your foot into the boot, ensuring the Dynamic Fit collar stretches comfortably around your ankle. Use the pull tabs if available.\n3. Lacing: Begin lacing from the bottom, pulling firmly but not overly tight. Adjust the off-centre laces to achieve a snug, personalized fit that secures your foot without restricting circulation. The goal is a locked-down feel that allows your foot to move naturally with the boot.\n4. Initial Wear: Before a game, wear your boots for a short practice session to break them in and ensure comfort.\n\n### Compatibility\n- Surface: These boots are designed exclusively for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces. This means natural grass pitches that are dry and firm.\n- Not Recommended For: They are not suitable for artificial grass (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor (IC) surfaces. Using FG boots on incompatible surfaces can lead to reduced performance, potential injury, and accelerated wear on the boots.\n- Fit: Sized in UK adult sizing (e.g., UK 11 for this model). Ensure you select your correct size for optimal performance and comfort.\n\n### Care\nProper care extends the lifespan and maintains the performance of your boots:\n1. Cleaning After Use: After each use, remove loose dirt and grass using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing.\n2. Wiping Down: Wipe the entire surface of the boots with a damp cloth to remove any remaining grime. For synthetic and mesh materials, this is generally sufficient.\n3. Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.\n4. Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using boot trees or stuffing them with newspaper to help retain their shape.\n5. Specific Care: Refer to the product label inside the boot or on its packaging for any specific care instructions from Nike, especially regarding cleaning solutions or material treatments. The primary composition is synthetics and mesh.
