Frequently Asked Questions
What is Nike Gripknit?
Gripknit is Nike’s textured upper material designed to add friction in key contact zones. It wraps across the strike area — including the first two lace holes — to improve ball grip in both wet and dry conditions.
What is the difference between between Dynamic Fit and Low Cut?
Dynamic Fit boots (like the
Phantom Luna) have a mid-cut collar for extra support around the ankle. Low-cut versions (like the
Phantom GX) offer more freedom of movement and a traditional feel. It’s all down to personal fit preference.
How much does the Nike Phantom GX weigh?
The low-cut Phantom GX Elite weighs approximately 204g (UK size 8.5), making it one of Nike’s lightest control-focused boots to date.
Are the Nike Phantom GX Football Boots true to size?
They run slightly long, but most players are fine going true to size. If you’re between sizes or prefer a snugger fit, consider going down half a size.
What is the break in period of the Nike Phantom GX?
Very minimal. The padded heel tab and soft Gripknit upper make the boot feel match-ready out of the box. Most players find they only need one training session before it feels fully broken in.
Are the Nike Phantom GX Football Boots good for wide feet?
Yes. The flexible upper and slightly wider forefoot make the GX one of Nike’s better options for players with wider feet — particularly in the Academy and Pro tiers.
Who wears Nike Phantom GX II?
Top players including Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, Ella Toone, Enzo Fernández, Gavi, and Jack Grealish are all spotted in the Phantom GX 2.
Which is better, Phantom GX or Phantom GX II?
The GX 2 builds on the original with a more responsive Cyclone 360 soleplate, slightly firmer midfoot for energy return, and refined Gripknit zones for improved touch. If you liked the original, the GX 2 offers subtle upgrades in traction and feel.
