Bringing the fierce precision of street play to the pitch, the Nike Phantom VSN Elite DF FG soccer cleats are designed for use on firm natural turf surfaces.
AWAKEN THE PHANTOM A call to action to unleash the deadly skills you learned on the concrete and become a constant danger on the pitch. When you awaken the phantom, you will spark fear in the hearts of defenders and create your own legend. Designed for use on firm natural ground surfaces, bring the fierce precision of street play to the pitch with the Nike Phantom VSN Elite DF FG soccer cleats.
Dynamic Fit collar links your foot and lower leg, while the stretchy circular knit construction minimises seams for a comfortable feel. Inner Quadfit Mesh material conforms to your foot and eliminates the need for a bonded support layer. Ghost Lace system is concealed below the outer layer for clean boot-to-ball contact. Quick-pull webbing loops make for easy loosening and tightening. Flyknit constructed outer layer covers the laces and integrates areas of high breathability and stretch. Targeted micro-texture is moulded in key areas of the outer layer for a precise touch when receiving the ball, passing and striking. Nike Grip top cloth with a felt-like texture helps hold the foot in place. All Conditions Control (ACC) technology optimises ball control in wet or dry weather. Hyperprecision plate and hybrid stud configuration provides lightweight responsiveness for hard cuts and bursts of speed on firm natural ground. Forefooot rotational zone assists quick turns in tight spaces on the pitch.- Colour: Volt/White/Barely Volt

Firm GroundCleats 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 boots 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.

Soft GroundSoft Ground (SG) soleplates are specifically designed for use on wet and soft to very soft natural grass pitches that may also be muddy and/or waterlogged. Used worldwide, mainly during winter months, cleats made for soft ground have removable, replaceable screw-in studs that can be plastic, entirely metal or metal-tipped and typically come in a six-stud configuration (4 at the forefoot, 2 slightly longer at the heel). Screw-in studs must be checked and tightened before use as during manufacture they are machine-inserted and may be loose.
-
TurfTurf (also called Astro Turf) is an older, more unforgiving type of synthetic-grass surface consisting of either sand or water-based carpet typically laid on concrete. Subsequently a harder and faster surface, cleats for use on turf (TF) usually have a cushioned midsole and a very durable, flat, multi-lugged or dimpled rubber outsole because turf requires light stud penetration. Owing to the hard nature of the surface and the friction it creates, no other outsole type should be used on turf and will result in considerable wear to the studs and soleplate edges and may result in injury.
-
Artificial GrassArtificial Grass surfaces (also known as an all-weather surface) typically consist of 3G (rubber crumb) or 4G (longer pile, combination of rubber/sand infill, more closely resembling actual grass). Fifth generation artificial grass is yet to be widely used. Cleats made for AG are specifically designed, usually with less nylon to increase durability for the extra abrasion associated with synthetic grass and feature more numerous and densely concentrated studs. They may also vary in height for improved traction and/or hollowed-out to reduce weight and enhance cushioning. AG cleats can also be used on firm ground (FG), though performance will depend on how dry and firm it is.
-
StreetStreet typically describes pitches or surfaces that are often found in inner-city residential areas. They consist of varying hard surfaces such as tarmac, paved or concreted hard-court areas and are often contained by a 'cage' constructed of steel or wire netting. Shoes for play on Street (ST) pitches will have an outsole made of extra hard-wearing rubber with a multi-lugged traction pattern similar in appearance to turf shoes. They also usually have midsole cushioning for shock absorption and comfort and are equipped with extended rubber toe bumpers to cope with scuffing.
-
IndoorIndoor surfaces for small-sided games such as 5-a-side and Futsal are usually flat, extremely hard and unforgiving and typically consist of varnished wood, linoleum or a smooth, painted synthetic or composite material. For grip, indoor outsoles (IN) are usually flat to maximise ground contact and slick in appearance with a minimal, non-aggressive traction pattern or grooves for flex and to dissipate surface moisture. They typically use non-marking moulded gum rubber and usually have midsole cushioning for shock absorption and comfort. Indoor shoes cannot be used on abrasive street surfaces such as concrete or gravel as they will quickly wear out.
