The shoe for ball touch.
The precision shoe
At Nike, the Phantom is the shoe of precision and ball touch, while the Mercurial is for speed and the Tiempo for comfort. It is aimed at playmakers, creative midfielders, and attackers who dribble, pass, and strike accurately. Its textured upper is designed to grip the ball, enhancing control, passing, and spin, even in the rain.

GX, Luna and Phantom
The Phantom GX, then the GX II, popularised a textured mesh upper that grips the ball. The Phantom Luna was developed using data on the foot and movement of female footballers, before being made available to everyone: its hugging fit also suits slim feet. The new generation Phantom continues this pursuit of touch. Each model comes in a High version, with a high mesh collar that wraps around the ankle, and a Low version, lower and more classic.
Level and sole
The Elite version, high-end, is the one for professionals: the lightest, with the best striking texture. The Academy version, the best-seller, sturdy and versatile, is suitable for club players, and the Club version is for beginners and children. The sole is chosen according to the pitch: FG for natural grass, AG for recent synthetic, MG for both, TF for artificial pitches. One should clean their shoes after the match and let them dry in the open air.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between Phantom, Mercurial and Tiempo?
At Nike, the Phantom is the shoe of precision and ball touch, the Mercurial is for speed, and the Tiempo is for comfort. The Phantom is aimed at playmakers and attackers who dribble and strike accurately.
Phantom Elite or Academy: which level to choose?
The Elite is the version for professionals, lighter, with the most technical upper, for regular and demanding players. The Academy retains the design with more durable and accessible materials, ideal for leisure and youth.
Which sole to choose: FG, AG, MG or TF?
FG for natural grass, AG for synthetic, MG for alternating both, and TF with small studs for artificial and hard pitches. An appropriate sole provides better grip and reduces injuries.
Phantom high-cut or low-cut: which one to choose?
The High version has a collar that wraps around the ankle and extends the shoe's feel on the leg. The Low, which is lower, leaves the ankle free: it’s more about sensation than protection.
How does the Nike Phantom fit?
Take your usual shoe size: the Phantom generally fits true to size, with a relatively snug forefoot for ball touch. If you have wide feet, try a half size up.
