The Nike Phantom GX II Elite AG Pro football boots are engineered for disruptive players, particularly tricky No.10s and pure finishers, who demand agility and precision on artificial grass surfaces. These boots excel at enabling devastating turns and lethal strikes thanks to innovative features like the **Gripknit** upper for superior ball control and the revolutionary **Cyclone 360** soleplate for dynamic rotational movement, though their specialized design makes them best suited for AG pitches.
Gripknit Technology: Enhances close ball control in all weather conditions, providing a sticky touch.
Integrated Strike Zone Texturing: Swirling textured rings on the instep ensure a clean connection with the ball for laser-guided shots and precise passes.
Low-Cut Flyknit Collar: Offers comfortable, snug support with offset seams to minimize irritation, adapting to your ankle's natural movement.
Stabilising Heel Counter: Specifically shaped with a slight recess to reduce pressure on the Achilles, ensuring lasting comfort throughout play.
Cyclone 360 Soleplate: Features a circular arrangement of bladed forefoot studs, designed to improve rotational movement, allowing quick braking, changes of direction, and powerful acceleration with less strain on the body.
Artificial Grass (AG Pro) Optimized: Engineered specifically for performance and durability on artificial grass pitches.
Lightweight & Pliable Fit: A combination of Gripknit and High Tenacity yarns delivers a flexible and lightweight feel for optimal performance.
Superior Ball Control: Gripknit technology provides excellent grip on the ball in various conditions.
Enhanced Agility & Precision: Cyclone 360 soleplate supports rapid changes in direction and explosive power, crucial for disruptive play.
Reduced Body Strain: The innovative soleplate design minimizes stress on joints during rotational movements.
Lasting Comfort: Features like the low-cut Flyknit collar and stabilising heel counter ensure comfort, especially for the Achilles.
Optimized for Artificial Grass: Engineered to provide maximum traction and durability on AG surfaces.
Endorsed by Top Players: Part of the Phantom range favored by elite players such as Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne, and Alexia Putellas.
Surface Specificity: Primarily designed for artificial grass, meaning performance may be suboptimal or studs may wear quickly on other surfaces (e.g., natural firm ground or soft ground).

The Nike Phantom GX II Elite AG Pro is built for players who dictate the game with agility and precision. The Gripknit upper with its Strike Zone texturing is central to your ball mastery, allowing you to maintain control in tight spaces and deliver accurate passes or powerful shots, even in challenging weather. This translates to confidence when dribbling, passing, and striking, enabling "laser-guided shots" and "trademark pinged passes."
For those critical moments of attack or defense, the Cyclone 360 soleplate provides a significant advantage. Its unique stud configuration enables quick, decisive movements: you can brake suddenly, pivot sharply, and burst into action without hesitation. This dynamic rotational capability is perfect for "tricky No.10s" and "pure finishers" who rely on explosive changes of direction to evade defenders or create scoring opportunities. The design also reduces strain on your body, allowing you to sustain high-intensity play longer and make those "match-winning moves with absolute confidence."
The low-cut Flyknit collar and stabilising heel counter work together to provide a secure, comfortable fit that supports your foot during aggressive movements, reducing distractions and discomfort. This ensures you can focus entirely on your game, from the first whistle to the last.
Lacing: Ensure boots are laced securely but comfortably. Over-tightening can restrict blood flow, while loose lacing can lead to instability and blistering. Experiment with lacing patterns to find the best fit for your foot shape.
Break-in Period: Like all new football boots, allow for a brief break-in period. Wear them for light training sessions before competitive matches to mold them to your feet and prevent discomfort.
Surface: These boots are specifically designed as AG Pro (Artificial Grass Pro). This means they are optimized for performance, traction, and durability on modern artificial turf pitches. Using them on natural grass (Firm Ground, Soft Ground) or harder surfaces can lead to premature stud wear, reduced grip, and potential injury.
Foot Type: The pliable Gripknit and Flyknit upper offers a snug, adaptive fit. For specific concerns regarding wider feet, trying them on is recommended.
Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the boots with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For tougher grime, use a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, hairdryers) as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using boot trees or stuffing them with newspaper to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
Inspection: Regularly inspect studs for wear and tear. While AG Pro studs are durable, excessive use on inappropriate surfaces can accelerate wear.
