These boots are awesome. The gripknit feels great on the ball. I’ve only used these on turf so far and I liked the feel and traction provided. The only thing that I have to get used to is the spike pattern it is different than the mercurials I normally wear. The front has a circular pattern that feels different when sprinting. Not bad just different. The fit is solid slightly narrow but I went true to size and they are breaking in nicely. My first try on I thought they would end up being too narrow but I’m not having any issues after a few wears. These boots are awesome. The gripknit feels great on the ball.

The PHANTOM GX II ELITE FG is the best soccer boot I have ever had the pleasure of wearing. They are very comfortable and are a perfect fit on my feet. I wore these soccer boots during the rain and I was able to get great traction while wearing them. I never felt like I was going to slip and fall in the puddles of mud on the pitch. The boot feels very light and flexible. Because of this, you must wear your actual size as these soccer boots are true to size. Most soccer boots can feel heavy and slow you down when you run. I even love the little carrying bag that comes with the boots. There are no cons to these boots whatsoever.I highly recommend anyone who plays soccer to get these soccer boots asap!

As someone with wide feet, I was certainly disappointed with Nike's direction of the Tiempo line, and I had believed my access to good AG outsoles (because Nike makes the best AG plates, period) was over. Thankfully, the GX 2 fills the void left by the Tiempo line for us wide footed ballers. While the toebox tapers quite a bit (Nike, if you could make your boots a bit more anatomical, we'd appreciate it), and they were pretty snug right out of the box, these break-in very nicely after a couple of training sessions and feel like a pair of sticky socks with studs. The grip isn't super noticiable when passing or shooting, but very noticeable when dribbling or controling the ball. They're not Mercurial tight and responsive, a bit more of a relaxed fit. For those ... MoreAs someone with wide feet, I was certainly disappointed with Nike's direction of the Tiempo line, and I had believed my access to good AG outsoles (because Nike makes the best AG plates, period) was over.

For those complaining about the Cyclone 360 soleplate should get these instead, much less aggressive underfoot and works well on both AG and FG (as long as the grass isn't too wet). They are difficult to get on at first, but it becomes a bit easier as the boots stretches and molds to your feet. Honestly, probably my favorite Nike boot since the original Magista Obra. Only word of caution is the sizing: they run a quarter size long. If you already have more than a thumbnail's width of space at the toes, or you have narrow feet, might want to consider going down half a size. However, if you have wide feet like me, true to size is best.

The PHANTOM GX II ELITE FG is a great pair of cleats with plenty of style. It catches your eye as soon as they come out of the box and everyone else’s eyes thereafter. The pattern is simple but the material really makes it pop out the way it shines.The cleats fit true to size and are really comfortable to put on and wear. It hugs my foot without feeling constricted. My feet feel secured while playing with friends or even my kids when they’re up for a challenge. I can cut in any direction and the shoe digs into the dirt well enough to allow me to play freely without concern.The PHANTOM GX II ELITE FG is a great shoe and I would recommend them to all of my friends who play.

Coming from the first pair of flyknit mercurials I was a little hesitant on this cleat. The mercurials were amazingly light a quick but lacked a connection with the ball, but the Phantom changes all of that. The new knit materials as an extremely tacky coating combined with the 3D texture for a great touch on the ball. At first I was surprised how grippy they were but quickly adjusted after a few minutes. They feel like they rip the ball out of the air and make the first touch so easy.Out of the box they the toe are was a little stiff but after 5 minutes they wore in nicely. There is basically no break in time, but if trying in store you may initially think they are stiff.Traction is great and I enjoyed the 360 cleat configuration in the forefoot.

They are perfectly stiff and rebound well for that “fast” feeling.Overall, the old mercurials are in the closet and the phantom have taken their place as my favorite Nike cleat.

Pretty blown away by these cleats. I’ve been a traditional cleat wearer and opted to get with the times and I can see why people make the switch. For starters it feels like I’m wearing another pair of socks on my feet. The material of the cleat moves with your foot. I even arched my foot and the sole of the cleat took the contour of the bottom sole of my foot. I thought it was a little too much at first and then got the hang of it. It’s like switching from bulky skiing mittens and putting on leather driving gloves. That’s the impression I was left with. Ball control and handling is insane, very responsive. Texture on the fore foot makes for control and spin. I highly recommend these!
I've been wearing Nike cleats since the 8th grade and each new style is better than the last. Nike continues to make strides forward with each new boot and these are no exception. From the second I put these on I knew they were going to be incredible. They fit extremely tight, so there is no worry about slippage or anything moving on you. Luckily they came when I still had a few weeks outdoors. Fall/Winter in the Northeast is a risky time for soccer. The conditions aren't always great, meaning the pitch can be a bit of a grab bag but these performed extremely well. The ground was very wet and soft but I didn't notice any loss of grip or traction and the shoes didn't become waterlogged or heavy. Honestly, I was shocked at how much traction I got out of these ... MoreI've been wearing Nike cleats since the 8th grade and each new style is better than the last.

The ground was very wet and soft but I didn't notice any loss of grip or traction and the shoes didn't become waterlogged or heavy. Honestly, I was shocked at how much traction I got out of these considering the conditions. Beyond the grip, the feel of these boots when shooting and the finesse of touch is exactly what you expect and want from a high end boot. I went with the all black color this time knowing that the end of the season can be pretty messy and they look great. I think the style still shows through while all black remains a classic look. I've always been a believer in the mantra; "Look good, play good" and these hit it out of the park. I'm beyond thrilled with these. Might even consider picking these up in another color.
The Phantom GX II’s are tailored for those who enjoy controlling the ball at their feet. The cleats are made of a unique fabric that is somewhat “sticky” that allows the ball to be controlled much easier. It does take some time to get used to but once you get the feel, you will find that passing and controlling are much easier.I really enjoyed the design especially the padding around the heel. Most soccer cleats wear down and start to dig into your heel. However, with these cleats, they are very comfortable around the heel during striking the ball and running. The biggest downfall to the boots are the fit. I would recommend buying a pair that is at least a full size smaller than your typical shoe size. They also have a more wide feel around your foot than most ... MoreThe Phantom GX II’s are tailored for those who enjoy controlling the ball at their feet.

The shoes felt a little narrow and tight width wise. Length wise, the shoes were good. On feet, the shoes felt comfortable and stable. The shoes had good grip when worn on grass and are definitely a good pair of cleats.The design is very sleek. The black color way with white outlining worked perfectly on the shoes. The circular pattern on the shoes gave it a unique design that made it really stand out. Overall, the shoes looked great.The material used for the shoes were a good choice. The material is thicker, which made the shoes more durable.

The shoes have a sleek design that is very minimalistic and fashionable. The use of the thicker material makes the shoes an appropriate choice of cleats for a variety of different weather.A change that could improve the shoes is increasing the width. The shoes run a little narrow and it was difficult to get them on. As such, increasing the width of the shoe could help to improve its overall feel.
First thing- I Love the look of these. Black on black is so clean, not super flashy and the quality does the talking. The fit is really tight, but not at all constricting or uncomfortable. The material on the uppers is great as it feels less gripping than the previous version. The ball doesn’t get caught up or stuck on your foot as much, but still offers a lot of control. The only complaint I could make is I didn’t like the slot cleats they used combined with placement on the front. When turning on artificial turf it seemed to snag versus the sole plate of the previous version which had peg cleats. I don’t think it would be an issue at all on regular grass, but I haven’t been able to use them outside yet. Would definitely recommend these.
