An outstanding new Nike Phantom GT soccer cleat was revealed today. The colorway is inspired by Nike's classic Secret Tournament campaign. The boot launches on November 2 2020.
The Nike Phantom 'Scorpion' is inspired by the brand’s iconic 2002 advertisement, “Secret Tournament.” "The style of football — filled with the era’s creative playmaking icons — set stage for the evolution of expressive, risk-taking footballers for whom the Phantom GT was designed.
Launched in March 2002, the Secret Tournament centered on a fictional 8-team, 3-a-side tournament, first goal wins. All matches took place in an enclosed “cage” on a ship. Its timing coincided with international play in South Korea and Japan, and with local 3-a-side tournaments staged around the world."

As already mentioned above, Secret Tournament was the name of Nike's ad campaign surrounding the 2002 World Cup, with the iconic TV commercial featuring legends such as Thierry Henry, Francesco Totti and Patrick Vieira in teams of three.

New Material for UEFA Champions League Patches?
Based on images from Manchester United's recent posts, it appears that the Starball and UEFA Foundation sleeve patches for the 26-27 UEFA Champions League might be moving away from the traditional velvet material. Instead, they seem to feature a noticeably thinner and flatter composition.
Without high-resolution close-ups, the exact material specifications cannot be fully confirmed just yet.
However, this potential shift remains unconfirmed, as other clubs have not displayed this change. Real Betis, for instance, still appeared with standard velvet-textured patches during their recent 26-27 Champions League portrait photoshoot sessions.
We will have to wait for official confirmation and close-up looks once the competition gets underway. Big thanks to @jerseystory_vn for the collage.
