Nike Phantom GX Yellow FG
New with box
The Upper:
- The Phantom GX Academy model was based off the top end Phantom GX Elite, a very short lived series by Nike
- The upper on the Academy model was rather nice, using a knitted material along the sock collar and throughout most of the boot
- The NikeSkin layer was used above the knitted material, a lightweight synthetic coating that added a nice textured strike zone, and some stability along the strike zone
The Sole Plate:
- This sole plate used a one piece plastic design, that was slightly thicker than the Elite version, but featured a similar cosmetic approach
- A mixture of chevron and rounded studs were used
Notes and Comments:
- Overall, the upper is rather nice on these, giving a more premium feel with the knitted material, even for the Academy model
- The main difference is the sole plate being slightly thicker than the top model, but overall the boots are rather nice to the touch
