Nike Phantom GX 'Launch' - Hyper Pink/White/Black/Metallic Copper
This image shows the Nike 'Launch' Phantom GX soccer cleats.
The Nike Phantom GX soccer boots boast a stylish look in a bright pinkish red, combined with black, white, and copper. Officially, we expect the colors to be Hyper Pink/White/Black/Metallic Copper.
What is most fascinating is the chrome sole plate. It has a stunning Hyper Pink/Copper Metallic shimmering effect.
Indeed, it is the same color scheme as other cleats from Nike's 2022 World Cup pack, and so certainly part of the Qatar pack.
Looking at features, the new Nike Phantom GX Launch football boots are made for accuracy and control (midfielders and forwards).
There are two versions of the Nike Phantom GX - collared and low-cut. Both the collared and low-cut options try to have no laces in touch and shooting areas. The Dynamic Fit version has a lace cover, the low-cut version has a partly covered lace area.
Gripknit, Ghost Lacing Sytem & Tri-Star Studs
The Nike Phantom GX soccer boots have a Gripknit upper for sticky ball control, "Ghost Laces" and tri-star studs.

Nike Phantom GX - Tech Summary
The Nike Phantom GX football boots are made for the players who are "creating on the ball through precision touch, ripping shots through a keyhole in the top shelf".
What is revolutionary, according to Nike, is Nike Gripknit. Nike Gripknit is a sticky material that provides better touch to the ball. It covers the first 2 laces, taking up more surface area. It molds to the shape of your foot and gives you an equal grip in wet or dry conditions.
The upper is made with the new Nike Gripknit yarn, which is soft and pliable but has a grippy sensation that footballers love. It also offers unique weatherization benefits: The way the Gripknit yarn is melted and coated, it protects the knit from getting wet without having to add extra coating materials (skins) for weatherization, allowing the player to have a better boot-to-ball connection.
The Nike Phantom GX soccer boots come with Nike's ghost lacing system. It is designed to let you forget about your shoelaces. An elastic knit cover offers access to the laces for tying and provides a cleaner cleat-to-ball connection.
Asymmetry in the collar and heel provides comfort. Soft elements in the heel make for an easy break-in process and help reduce irritation and pressure without compromising stability and structure. The Flyknit collar gives you comfort and snugness around the ankle and lower leg.
What is also very interesting about the Nike Phantom GX is the sole plate/outsole. Tri-star studs (the highest number and biggest variety of any Nike cleat) work with forefoot flex grooves to help unlock change of direction.
A non-performance element of the Nike Phantom GX is the squiggly line on the outsole. " It matches your typical on-field movements, which push forward then zigzag before a strike."

Adidas Italy 2026 EQT Retro Collection Leaked
We now have images of the (full) Adidas Italy EQT collection. It includes a track jacket, matching pants, and lifestyle t-shirt.
As part of a wider Originals collection aimed at national teams, this new collection brings a strong 1990s aesthetic back to the modern era. The release highlights the German brand's continuing strategy of mining its extensive design archives to create bespoke, off-pitch apparel for its top-tier federations.
The Adidas Italy EQT collection boasts striking green, white and red geometric blocks, creating 3 stripes.
Adding heavily to the nostalgic appeal, the chest displays a centralized logo arrangement, featuring a classic Adidas wordmark and Trefoil paired with a faithful recreation of the historic Italian Football Federation crest used throughout the early 1990s.
Other Adidas federations will get the same range in their colors.
Figueirense 26-27 Home Kit Released
Brazilian Série C side Figueirense has officially unveiled its new home jersey for the 2026-2027 season, produced by domestic technical partner Volt Sport. The new primary uniform directly follows the recent release of the club's away kit and serves as a major part of the team's ongoing celebrations to mark the 105th anniversary of their founding in 1921.
The Figueirense 26-27 home shirt remains deeply rooted in tradition, featuring the club's classic black and white vertical stripes. However, Volt Sport has elevated the historic aesthetic by deeply embossing the black stripes with commemorative elements that honor the club's 105-year history. The heavily detailed body is framed by solid black sleeves and a matching black block on the back for player numbering. The look is completed by a classic black polo collar and sleeve cuffs, both of which are detailed with ribbed white striping.
Further custom details are integrated throughout the garment, including the phrase "Avante Figueirense, pra frente Furacão" printed along the inner hem.
In a final nod to the milestone year, a special 105th-anniversary seal is applied to the lower right corner of the shirt.
What do you think of this heavily detailed, anniversary-focused Figueirense home kit by Volt? Let us know in the comments below.
