Jul 24, 2022, by Chris
- New Name: The next generation of Nike Phantom boots will not be called "Nike Phantom GT 3," and will have an updated name, dropping the GT.
- Design Changes: The new boots feature a different upper texture with a 3D arrow pattern, a lace cover, and a unique sole/heel counter design.
- Release Timeline: The next-gen Nike Phantom boots are not expected to launch until August/September 2022, likely debuting before the 2022 World Cup.
Update: FC Bayern München's Johua Kimmich has been spotted with what is expected to be the next-gen Nike Phantom. We have information that they WON'T be called Nike Phantom GT 3. Instead, Nike will ditch the GT from the name and give them an updated naming. Thanks to @bootsclub for the pictures.

Update - February 17, 2022: Inter Milan midfielder Roberto Gagliardini has again trained in the next-generation Nike Phantom GT 3 football boots. He gives us the first look at the instep of the revamped cleats.
5 January 2022: Roberto Gagliardini Trains in Nike Phantom GT 3 Boots
Roberto Gagliardini of Inter Milan was spotted wearing blackout boots in training yesterday, giving us a first look at what is almost certainly the next-generation Nike Phantom GT 3 Elite.
Gagliardini is a regular of the Nike Phantom GT. This makes us very sure that he was wearing the next-generation Nike Phantom GT 3 Elite soccer cleats in a prototype version.

The next-gen Nike Phantom GT 3 Elite soccer cleats are very, very different from the current generation. It boasts three very interesting elements - the upper texture, a lace cover as well as a very interesting sole / external heel counter.
The upper of the next-generation Nike Phantom GT 3 Elite boots come with a multiple arrow 3D pattern for increased ball control and curve.
Similar to the Nike Phantom VSN, the Nike Phantom GT 3 comes with a lace cover. It is not a laceless cleat.

Three remarkable elements are totally different from the current generation
The back sole/heel counter area is different from anything we have seen for a Nike football boot so far. There is a thin material between the heel counter of the soleplate and the upper.
We can exclusively leak that Nike will not launch the next-generation Nike Phantom GT 3 boots before August/September 2022. In summer 2022, there will be new colorways of the current-gen Nike Phantom GT 2 but no next-gen boots.
Nike will launch the next-gen Phantom GT 3 in late 2022 likely
In fact, we can well assume that the Nike Phantom GT 3 boots will make their debut shortly ahead of the 2022 World Cup.
There is also a small chance that Nike will launch a "new" football boot silo to replace the Phantom GT, but it is unlikely.
Stay tuned for more about what is certainly the next-gen Nike Phantom GT III.
Meanwhile, Simone Inzaghi was wearing the Copa Mundial with blacked-out stripes.

Manchester United Announce Record Betway Training Kit Partnership
Manchester United have officially announced a multi-year partnership with Betway, making the online gaming brand the club's new Official Principal Partner and Exclusive Global Betting Partner starting from the 26-27 season.

The announcement comes into effect as Premier League regulations prohibiting gambling companies on the front of matchday shirts begin in the 26-27 season. Since the ban does not extend to training apparel or sleeve sponsorships, Manchester United were able to secure lucrative commercial terms while fully adhering to the league's updated guidelines.
