Cleat Class - Elite
Phantom
Naturally, that makes it a great option for all sorts of players, from creative playmakers like Kevin De Bruyne to deadly finishers such as Erling Haaland. To understand why it’s such a good all-rounder, you only need to look to its history.
Though the modern Phantom range began in 2018 with the release of the Phantom VSN, its origins go all the way back to the Hypervenom Phantom of 2013, one of the most popular cleats ever made. Mix in some further inspiration from the revered Total 90 and Magista series, along with Nike’s latest textured upper innovations, and you have a cleat that’s built for any type of play.

Starting with “The Nike” back in 1970, the Swoosh’s designs have always led the way when it comes to combining style and performance.

Ground Type Guide
Selecting the correct sole plate for the surface you are playing on is crucial, not only for the performance and longevity of your cleats, but also to avoid the risk of injury.
Using an outsole that isn't designed specifically for the surface on which you are playing may cause premature wear and/or damage that will not be deemed as a fault of manufacture and will prevent the retailer accepting them for a refund or exchange.
Firm Ground
Cleats with Firm Ground soleplates are only to be used on natural short-grass surfaces that is firm underfoot but may be slightly wet.
Designed specifically for this playing surface, they offer acceleration, comfort and enhanced traction, dispersing stud pressure evenly across the foot.
FG soleplates are fixed (not removable) and are used worldwide; wetter countries tend to use them spring to autumn.
FG cleats are not to be used on artificial ground (AG) surfaces as the construction is not designed for the extra friction.
FG cleats used on AG surfaces will invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty.
