Early 2020 Release + Colorways: Next-Gen Nike Phantom VSN 2 Boots Info Leaked
Jul 13, 2019, by Chris
Update: Following up on our original post from February, we can today give you a lot more details about the next-gen Phantom Vision 2, which will debut in early 2020.
In July 2018, Nike released the all-new Nike Phantom VSN football boot. Now we received exclusive release information about the next-generation Nike Phantom VSN 2 soccer cleats.
As there are no big issues with the first-gen Nike Phantom VSN boots known yet, we don't think that Nike will change the first-gen until the launch of the second-gen.
Next-Gen Nike Phantom Vision 2 Soccer Cleats To Be Released in Mid-January 2020
The second generation of the Nike Phantom VSN will be released in early 2020, between mid-January and early February. This means that we will see the second-gen of Nike's new control boot around 18 months after the launch of the previous (first) - as with the Mercurial we are seeing Nike shorten the release cycle to bring updates our more frequently.
Next-Gen Nike Phantom VSN 2 - Colorways
The debut colorway for the next-gen Nike Phantom Vision boots will be 'Laser Crimson' with 'Metallic Silver' brandings and black trim.
In addition to that, Nike has at least two more early paint jobs lined up for the Phantom VSN II: as part of a new 'Black Pack' we will see the release of a blackout of the new boots, while there will also be a predominantly white colorway, which we don't know a lot more about yet.
All these three Nike Phantom Vision II cleats will be launched in January and February 2020.
Nike Phantom Vision 2 - Tech & Features
Nothing about the tech feature of the Nike Phantom VSN 2 football boot is known yet. We think that it is already certain that the second-gen boots will again boot the focus on fit and control to be the ultimate midfielder's boot.

No More Nike: Adidas Croatia 2026 Training Kits Revealed
Following their switch from Nike to Adidas, Croatia's new training kit set for 2026 have been unveiled in the latest training camp for youth teams' goalkeepers.
However from what we've seen, both of the new jerseys are simply from Adidas Tiro 26 League template range, using default black and grey color choices. These are very likely just temporary options for the mean time, until the actual designs with probably bespoke colorways are officially released.
