Nike Jr. Phantom GX Club

My 10 year old son is extremely pleased with the fit and style of the Jr Phantom Club Football Shoes. When questioned about how durable he thinks they are, he responded with “they feel solid but comfortable at the same time”. The all black shoe with the iconic white Nike tick makes these shoes look the part. At his football training session several of his teammates commented on the shoes and how good they look. The general make up of the shoe and the fabrics used are ideal for the playing surfaces they are intended for, Astro turf, 3G synthetic surfaces. I have a very happy 10 year old!

Since getting the Nike JR Phantom GX Club TF my nephew has barely taken them off. Being a keen footballer they are perfect for daily wear - whether he is kicking a ball around in the garden, playing with his mates, taking part in school PE or football training, the Nike JR Phantom GX Club TF is a great all round shoe. The trainers fit him really well and they are comfortable and light, but also very well made and the synthetic upper is robust enough to protect your feet when kicking a ball. Considering the volume of use they have had in such a short period, the shoes are showing little to no sign of wear which is a good sign that they will last. Performance-wise, the grip on the Nike JR Phantom GX Club TF is fantastic as the astroturf sole has a deep tread. The off-centre laces enable more control of the ball, making the upper of the shoe smoother on the inside foot for more precise passing. The black colourway is a classy but minimalist style that looks very smart and retro. The best thing about them is that they are so easy to wipe clean, keeping them looking fresh! There are various swoosh logos across the shoes, some white and some black, which are a nice touch whilst still keeping the minimalist feel. There is also a black glossy pattern around the front of the upper that gives some extra contrast. He loves the orange colour of the insole and the swoosh on the bottom of the sole and the only criticism he made on the styling is that he wished that the visible swooshes on the upper were the same orange colour. Overall he loves the Nike JR Phantom GX Club TF and would buy again in another colour, perhaps also taking a step up to the laceless version.

So comfortable! They fit really well, accurate on sizing, easy to wear. The styling is great, I like the lacing being off centre and the flecks of white in the sole add another level to the shoes. They are very lightweight which is important, as some previous pairs of boots I have had felt heavy on my feet impacting on how I play when wearing them. They do have a gap by the toe on the laces, this can be seen on photographs, this may be due to slim feet. This style may be more suited to wider fitting feet. However it does not impact on comfort or usage. Overall a fantastic pair of boots, perfect for purpose, great little purchase.
