The Nike Phantom Luna II Academy FG MG football boots are engineered for players who demand agility, precision, and disruptive play on the field. Designed to enhance ball control and provide stable, rotational traction, these boots empower you to execute devastating turns and lethal strikes. While offering versatile performance across multiple ground types, players should be aware that multi-ground boots provide a balanced performance rather than specializing in one surface.
NIKESKIN Upper with Strike Zone: Features grippy NIKESKIN for superior close control and an integrated Strike Zone texturing with swirling rings on the instep, ensuring a clean connection for precise shots and passes.
Cyclone 360 Soleplate: Revolutionary soleplate with a circular arrangement of bladed forefoot studs, enabling fluid braking, rapid changes in direction, and explosive power, all while reducing strain on the body.
Asymmetric Heel and Dynamic Fit Collar: The soft, stretchy collar and specifically designed asymmetric heel section minimize irritation, providing lasting comfort and a secure, snug feel around the ankle.
Off-Centre Lace Fastenings: Laces are positioned off-centre, creating a larger, cleaner striking area on the boot for improved ball contact and more consistent shot and pass execution.
Multi-Ground (FG/MG) Versatility: Designed for optimal performance on both natural firm ground and artificial grass surfaces, offering flexibility for various playing environments.
Padded Insole: Includes a padded insole for enhanced comfort during extended wear and intense play.

The Nike Phantom Luna II Academy FG MG boots are built for players who dictate the game with agility and precision. On the pitch, the NIKESKIN upper and integrated Strike Zone allow for exceptional close control, meaning you can confidently dribble through defenders and execute pinpoint passes. The textured rings on the instep guide your shots, transforming powerful strikes into laser-guided attempts on goal, much like the trademark pinged passes professional Phantom players are known for.
The Cyclone 360 soleplate is a game-changer for dynamic play. Its unique circular stud arrangement lets you brake sharply, pivot quickly, and accelerate explosively in one fluid motion, making it ideal for 'tricky No.10s' who need to turn defenders inside out, or 'pure finishers' looking for that quick burst of speed to get into scoring positions. This innovative design also focuses on reducing stress on your body, allowing you to maintain peak performance and confidence throughout the match.
The asymmetric heel and soft, stretchy collar contribute significantly to comfort, minimizing irritation even during intense, prolonged play. The off-centre laces provide a larger, unobstructed striking area, giving you a clean surface for powerful shots and accurate passes, ensuring consistent ball contact when it matters most. Whether you're making match-winning moves, clearing the ball, or finishing an attack, these boots are designed to support your game across natural firm grounds and artificial pitches.
Lacing: Loosen the off-centre lace fastenings sufficiently to comfortably slide your foot into the boot.
Fit: Ensure your foot is seated properly within the boot, with your heel snug against the back. The soft, stretchy collar should wrap securely around your ankle, providing a supportive feel.
Tightening: Begin tightening the laces from the bottom upwards, ensuring an even, snug fit without overtightening. The off-centre design allows for a larger striking area once fastened.
These boots feature a Multi-Ground (FG/MG) soleplate, making them compatible for use on:
Natural Firm Ground (FG): Best for natural grass pitches that are dry or slightly damp.
Artificial Grass (MG): Suitable for modern artificial turf surfaces.
Avoid using these boots on very hard ground, asphalt, or indoor courts, as this can damage the soleplate and compromise performance.
Cleaning: After each use, wipe off excess dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, you can use a mild soap solution.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using boot trees or stuffing them with newspaper to help maintain their shape.
Product Label: Always refer to the product label inside the boots for specific care instructions, as these may contain additional guidance for optimal maintenance. The composition is primarily synthetics and mesh.
