The Nike Phantom Luna II Elite FG boots are engineered for players who dictate the game through their touch and movement. The Gripknit upper ensures that whether you're receiving a pass, dribbling through defenders, or striking from distance, the ball feels like an extension of your foot. The integrated Strike Zone texturing is particularly beneficial for 'pure finishers' or 'tricky No. 10s' who rely on precise ball connection for powerful and accurate shots.
On the pitch, the Cyclone 360 soleplate comes into its own, providing exceptional traction for quick bursts of speed, sudden stops, and sharp turns. This allows players to 'leave defenders trailing' and execute critical directional changes without losing stability or momentum. The circular forefoot studs are key for explosive acceleration and efficient braking, crucial in tight spaces or when reacting to opponent movements.
The asymmetrical Flyknit collar and stabilising heel counter work together to create a secure, comfortable fit that supports the ankle and reduces pressure on the Achilles. This design promotes confidence, enabling players to focus on their game rather than discomfort. Endorsed by top athletes, these boots are built to withstand the rigors of elite-level play while offering benefits to players of all skill levels seeking to refine their game.
Lacing: Ensure laces are securely tied for a snug, locked-down fit. The asymmetrical lacing design can be adjusted to provide a custom feel over the top of your foot.
Break-In: Like all high-performance footwear, a short break-in period during light training sessions can help the boots conform to your feet for optimal comfort and performance.
Playing Surface: These are Firm Ground (FG) football boots, specifically designed for use on natural grass pitches. Using them on artificial turf (AG) or indoor surfaces (IC) may lead to premature wear of the studs and is not recommended.
Age Group: Designed for adult players.
Fit: The high-cut asymmetrical Flyknit collar and snug fit are designed for comfortable support. Ensure you choose your correct UK size for optimal performance.
Cleaning After Use: After each game or training session, gently wipe off dirt and mud from the upper and soleplate using a damp cloth or soft brush. Avoid abrasive materials that could damage the Gripknit material.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause materials to stiffen, crack, or shrink.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Using boot trees can help maintain their shape.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong detergents, bleach, or solvents, as these can damage the synthetic and textile components of the boots. Warm water and mild soap are generally sufficient.
No Machine Washing: Machine washing is not recommended as it can compromise the integrity of the materials and bonding agents.
