Nike Phantom 6 High Elite

Oh my goodness, these are one of the best ones I’ve tried. The previous ones that I’ve used is the Superfly 10 Academy and boy do I feel like the Phantom 6 is a big upgrade. The materials, with the flyknit or calling it gripknit technology all around makes the shoes breathable especially playing in them can get sweaty. And also the design and the crimson color way is so eye catchy. The cyclone 360 traction is such a nice addition which helps with all the toe side movements and gripping the field nicely. I especially like the fit collar that wraps around my ankles feels so much more comfortable. The one thing I would like to change is to be able to use these other than indoor field because it’s that much better. The flyknit material does suck when it gets wet which makes it feel like running around with soak socks and that’s really unpleasant. Overall, I think this one was an upgrade and I can already feel the grip running on the field. Looking forward to newer designs in the future.

The Phantom 6 High Elite Fg cleats are a super solid pair of cleats that I would definitely wear going forward and in high level of competition. They feel really comfortable on my foot, and that is one of the biggest things I look for in cleats to help me play to my maximum potential. The fit throughout the entire cleat was great, from heel to toe. My foot does not slide at all forwards/backwards or side-to-side while running, jumping, cutting, and using the ball. It felt snug but not too tight. The cleats make me feel confident on the ball and when playing because of the style, color scheme, and design of the boot. I feel no irritations on any part of my foot from the fit. The design is great and it is really cool. It makes me feel great when I play because it is innovative and new. The high-cut look gives it a commanding look. The sole feels good, and design of the studs allow me to be confident in my cutting and running that i will not slip at all. This definitely helps with my ability to play the game. The material of the cleats are soft and flexible enough to feel like my foot is not suffocating. The fabric is smooth and the touch of the ball on the fabric feels great. My favorite part of these cleats is the design and how it makes me just feel better as a player when I am on the field. I feel confident and my performance is better because of this. I also like the fit at the toe. I have always had problems with my soccer cleats if they are too tight at the toe or too long at the toe but these feel just right. There is really only one negative that I feel in this cleat and that is the sock part around my ankle. I have felt this before in previous boots worn with a sock that it is a little too tight sometimes or that they are a little heavier than boots without the sock part. This is not like a huge negative aspect because I did still feel comfortable in them, but I feel lighter on my feet in other boots, so this is the only thing I would change.

The Phantom cleats are all spectacularly well designed with incredible grip on the ball, both of which I love. However, this high "sock" version was so hard to get my foot into that I would not recommend it to anyone with wider-than-average feet. it was really difficult to get my foot into these boots and even harder to get them out once they were swollen after playing. It's entirely possible I was doing something wrong and or that these would stretch in the future, but I'm much prefer low boots.
