Next-Gen Nike Phantom Vision II Elite 2020 Debut Boots Revealed - 'Future Lab' Pack
Jan 16, 2020, by Pat
As expected, Nike has just officially presented the second-gen Nike Phantom Vision 2, months after we exclusively previewed the alternative black colorway on this site.
Informed by the accuracy and explosiveness of street football, the Nike Phantom Vision II football boots introduce a number of changes to the upper while keeping the same sole plate as the debut gen.
Nike Phantom Vision II - Laser Crimson / Black / Metallic Silver
This picture shows the all-new Nike Phantom VSN II football boot.
Nike's designers have come up with a clean look for the generation debut as part of the 'Future Lab' collection. The next-gen Nike Phantom Vision boots are mainly red, with the collar and tongue part appearing in black. Silver-metallic brandings, including a black-outlined Swoosh on the outside front, complete the design.
A smaller Swoosh can be seen on the instep, with the QuadFit and ACC brandings placed on the side of the heel in silver. The lace cover appears almost the same as on the first gen.
In terms of tech, the next-gen Nike Phantom Vision II still features the trademark lace cover (Ghost Lace system) found on the Phantom Vision I. Pull tabs were added to the collar to make it easier to put the boots on and off.
The upper of the Nike Phantom Vision 2 was split into four parts - medial trap zone, strike zone, knuckle zone and dribble zone, which feature a significantly different external structure to match the specific needs of each. The materials across all touch zones are 20 percent thinner than on the first generation.
As suspected earlier, the sole plate of the next-gen boots is almost identical to what Nike used on the first generation.

Following the unveiling of their home kit earlier two weeks ago, Tunisian giants Club Africain and technical sponsor Kelme have officially launched the club's new third kit for the 26-27 campaign.
The Kelme Club Africain 26-27 third jersey delivers a sleek and stealthy design, featuring a black base elevated by an intricate tonal graphic pattern with calligraphic undertones across the front and sleeves. Strong contrast comes via the classic fold-over collar, styled in red with thin white tipping, matched by solid red sleeve cuffs. Below the rear collar, the shirt includes the club motto "Beyond the last breath" stamped in red.
The shirt is finished with white details for the Kelme paw logo and front sponsor Ooredoo, sitting alongside the traditional red and white Club Africain crest. Matching black shorts and socks complete the full look for the Tunisian side.

Boca Juniors Tribute: Sint-Truiden 26-27 European Kit Released
Belgian Pro League club Sint-Truidense VV has officially unveiled its new European kit for the 26-27 season, produced by regional brand Olympic. The special strip was revealed during the premiere of the club documentary 'Expeditie Kanarie: de weg naar Europa' at CC De Bogaard, celebrating STVV's historic first qualification for the main stages of European competition in club history.
The Olympic Sint-Truiden 26-27 European jersey draws heavy inspiration from Boca Juniors while paying tribute to the club's iconic late-1980s 'BT-shirt'. It features a royal blue base highlighted by a bold yellow horizontal chest band that accommodates the Maruhan sponsor logo. The STVV crest and Olympic branding are centered neatly above the chest stripe, complemented by yellow trim along the V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs. Matching blue shorts and yellow socks complete the look.
Sint-Truiden will wear the new kit throughout their 26-27 UEFA Conference League league phase campaign, where their fixtures include matchups against Ajax, Hajduk Split, SK Brann, FC Midtjylland, FC Lugano, and FC Iberia 1999 Tbilisi.
England Wears Red Away Against Croatia | 7-0 Victory
England took the pitch in their red 2026 away kit on Saturday night and delivered a historic performance, sweeping aside Croatia 7-0 in their UEFA Nations League clash at Stadion HNK Rijeka. The Three Lions lined up in their striking "Speed Red" jersey paired with obsidian navy shorts and red socks, switching from their primary white home uniform to avoid a kit clash with Croatia's famous red-and-white checkered home design.
The red and navy proved to be a good contrast, as Croatia's kit has white sleeves, shorts and socks - No problems with the red checkers. England dominated from the opening whistle to hand Croatia the heaviest defeat in their football history. Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka each scored twice, Jude Bellingham delivered an outstanding performance with a goal and three assists, and Anthony Gordon and substitute Morgan Rogers also found the back of the net to complete the ruthless display.
Nike reintroduced the classic red colorway for England's 2026 away strip, combining the vibrant red base with deep obsidian and crisp white accents along the collar and side inserts. Red away shirts hold a celebrated place in England's history, and Saturday's emphatic seven-goal triumph in Rijeka adds another memorable chapter to the look.

French club Nîmes Olympique has officially unveiled a special kit for Octobre Rose, joining the campaign to raise breast cancer awareness. Produced by local brand Eldera, the limited-edition jersey was launched ahead of the team's home clash against Hyères at the Stade des Antonins.
The Eldera Nîmes Olympique 26-27 Octobre Rose shirt is predominantly soft pink, detailed with an intricate vertical jacquard-style pattern running through the fabric. All application details are rendered in crisp monochrome white, including the Eldera chest logo, the simplified club crest, and the city's emblematic crocodile and palm tree motif. The front of the shirt features "Passion 1937", the club's recently formed endowment fund, alongside white paneling along the flanks and striped trim on the collar and cuffs.
Priced at €69, the commemorative kit went on sale in very limited quantities at the stadium boutique. The shirts worn by the squad during the match will be auctioned off following the final whistle to raise funds directly for breast cancer screening and research initiatives.
