Following De Bruyne: At Least 4 Nike Stars To Wear Custom Unique Nike Phantom GT Boots This Weekend
- De Bruyne's Custom Boots: Kevin De Bruyne initially wore unique white/silver Nike Phantom GT boots, which sparked interest.
- More Players Get Custom Boots: Nike provided custom Nike Phantom GT boots to at least four other players: Lautaro Martínez, Kai Havertz, Rodrygo Goes, and Hector Herrera.
- Customizable Through "Nike By You": All the custom boots were created using Nike's "Nike By You" customization service, and they are recreatable for others.
Ahead of the national team break, Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne caught people's attention wearing a white / silver pair of the Nike Phantom GT soccer cleats. Now Nike has supplied more of their players with custom Nike Phantom GT boots.
Players Receive Custom Nike Phantom GT Boots From Nike
Next to De Bruyne, Nike gave at least four players custom Nike Phantom GT boots - Lautaro Martínez, Kai Havertz, Rodrygo Goes and Hector Herrera. In contrast to De Bruyne classy white / silver boots, Lautaro Martínez, Havertz, Rodrygo and Herrera opted for bolder looks.
All the boots were created by the players using Nike's customization service "Nike By You" (previously NikeiD).
Kevin De Bruyne, meanwhile, has switched back to the regular colorway of the Nike Phantom GT DF Elite ahead the national team break matches with Belgium. We expect him not to lace up in the custom white / silver boots again.

Adidas Authentic Kit Badge Features Hidden UV Print
A detail on Adidas Authentic kit has drawn attention after being shared by @albxrnxz. The patch labeled "Authentic" reveals additional text when viewed under ultraviolet light. This applies to national team shirts, including those from the Argentina selección, and other recent Adidas kits. The feature serves as an extra verification step beyond standard tags and labels.
The observation highlights how Adidas incorporates advanced elements into its player versions and Authentic products. A heat-applied label combined with UV printing acts as a seal of authenticity, as noted on official product pages for items like the Argentina 2026 jerseys. This helps distinguish genuine merchandise from replicas.
The measure fits into Adidas' updates for the 2026 World Cup collection. Similar hidden UV prints appear in logos and badges across Authentic kits to address counterfeiting concerns. Fans can use a basic UV light to check their jerseys, adding a practical layer for collectors and buyers.
