Development Started from Inside the Boot

"We developed a Quad-Fit mesh bootie for the inside of the shoe that conforms well to most foot shapes, maintains its form, and doesn't overstretch. Quad-Fit envelops the foot without constricting it," says designer Woodman, highlighting the shoe's exceptional fit.



Another key feature is the textured Nike Flyknit upper, designed for superior ball touch. The triangular textured surfaces are based on Nike Sports Research Lab (NSRL) data regarding ball control. NSRL tests have proven that receiving the ball on the lower part of these triangles leads to more accurate ball control when initiating an attack. Consequently, the triangular design is prominently featured on the inner sides to enhance these capabilities.



While traditional cleat design often began with sketches, the "Phantom Vision" represents an innovation in its approach, with the internal structure of the boot being considered from the outset to create a superior product.

Many Nike athletes, including Philippe Coutinho, Kevin De Bruyne, Leon Goretzka, Mallory Pugh, and Fran Kirby, are scheduled to wear the Phantom Vision. The cleats will be available starting August 2nd on nike.com and at select specialty stores.
