Designed for adult male footballers seeking an edge on firm ground pitches, the Nike Phantom Luna II Academy Firm Ground Boots offer exceptional ball control and stability, though their specialized design means optimal performance is limited to natural firm surfaces. These boots combine innovative Nike technologies to enhance touch, traction, and fit for players aiming to master their game.

On the pitch, the Nike Phantom Luna II Academy boots are engineered to provide a distinct advantage for players who value precision and agility. The NikeSkin upper allows for a more natural feel on the ball, enabling refined dribbling, accurate passing, and powerful, controlled shots. This direct ball contact is crucial for players who rely on intricate footwork and precise distribution.
When making quick directional changes, sprinting for a loose ball, or preparing to strike, the Nike Cyclone 360 plate ensures you remain stable and balanced. This traction pattern reduces the risk of slips, allowing for confident acceleration and deceleration, which is vital in fast-paced football environments. The secure fit from the Dynamic Fit collar and anatomical mesh cuff supports explosive movements and quick cuts, making these boots ideal for midfielders, forwards, and defenders alike who need reliable traction and feel on natural grass fields. The off-centre lacing system further contributes by creating a larger, unobstructed striking surface, enhancing the ability to ping long passes or finish with precision.
Simply lace up your Nike Phantom Luna II Academy boots to your preferred tightness. The off-centre lacing system allows for a personalized fit, ensuring maximum comfort and an optimized striking area. A comfortable initial fit is key, but allow for a short break-in period if they feel snug.
These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces. This includes natural grass pitches that are dry or slightly damp. Using them on other surfaces like artificial grass (AG) or very soft ground (SG) may impact performance, durability, and could potentially void any warranty. They are sized for adult male feet, with this specific variant being a UK 10.
Proper care will extend the life of your boots and maintain their performance:
Cleaning: After each use, remove any excess dirt and mud. You can use a soft brush or cloth and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the synthetic and mesh composition. "Refer to product label" for specific cleaning instructions.
Drying: Air dry your boots at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), as these can cause the materials to crack or stiffen.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place. Using boot trees or stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
Inspection: Regularly check for any wear and tear, especially on the studs and soleplate, to ensure continued performance and safety.
