That includes the NikeGrip technology, which features a micro-textured surface that stabilizes the foot in the shoe to reduce slippage by 25%. This design allows players to retain better control, even within high-stakes movement. Weighing in at just 195g, the super lightweight feel encourages speed whilst still offering ample support — something that has been a big trend for elite athletes — Kevin De Bruyne, a user of the Phantom GX, is able to move and turn at speed with ease.
One of its highlighted features is the Dynamic Fit Collar, that provides an optimal link between the foot and the ankle, thus increasing agility and comfort. The collar, per Nike, disperses pressure, minimizing stress on the foot’s high-pressure points during long matches. Not only that, the Nike Phantom GX Black Summit also comes complete with a Flyknit upper for a sock-like fit, delivering both breathablity and freedom of movement. This has been especially welcomed by players such as Harry Kane, who loves the comfort and stability that it has provided in his game.
A Hyperquick System plate is housed within the cleats, while firmness is also boosted by the inclusion of firm-ground cleats. They want energy return maximized with every step, and this plate delivers. The stud pattern is also tailored for powerful acceleration and cutting action, providing you with a great sensation with every stride. Nike conducted a study that discovered that players who wore the Phantom GX were able to increase their sprint times by 3% over their previous playing boots.
The Nike Phantom GX Black Summit is a pair of high-tech performance soccer shoes that include all of the necessary attributes should provide durable comfort and optimum responsiveness to those that wear them on the field of play and at the highest level.
