Nike will launch a new football silo shortly ahead of the 2022 World Cup - the Nike Phantom GX, replacing the Nike Phantom GT. Thanks to UnderStuds and Boots Culture for pics and info.
We have no exact launch date for the Phantom GX soccer shoes yet - it is very likely that Nike will release the Phantom GX ahead of the 2022 World Cup, while there is a very small chance that we will see the release after the 2022 World Cup, in early 2023.
Nike Phantom GT to Be Replaced With Nike Phantom GX
The Nike Phantom GX football boots are the successor of the Nike Phantom GT silo. Prototypes of the Nike Phantom GX cleats have been worn by many different Nike players, including Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland, Eduardo Camavinga, Joshua Kimmich, Erling Haaland, and Dani Carvajal.
There is no leak of an actual colorway of the Nike Phantom GX football boots yet. The prototypes were either without or blackout.
We have no concrete tech info yet, but the prototypes give us a first impression. There are two different Nike Phantom GX sub-models, one with and another without a collar.
Similar to previous Nike Phantom silos, the Nike Phantom GX football boots are made for accuracy and control. What is particularly interesting is the unique upper layer that is likely made for better passing and shooting accuracy in all weather conditions.
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 very short lace area.

Nike Phantom GX (Without Dynamic Fit) - Camavinga, Kimmich & Mount
The second Nike Phantom GX soccer shoe comes without a collar and no lace cover. The boot was worn by Camavinga and Mount.

Cristiano Ronaldo Switches Mercurial Boots at Halftime Against Colombia
Cristiano Ronaldo debuted a special pair of custom Nike Mercurial Superfly 11 'Gold Scorpion' football boots during Portugal's 2026 World Cup match against Colombia. The exclusive design was created as a tribute to his historic achievement of scoring in six different FIFA World Cup tournaments, a record-breaking milestone in international football.
Despite the pre-match hype surrounding the limited-edition tribute boots, Ronaldo only wore the 'Gold Scorpion' edition for the opening 45 minutes of the game. Following the halftime break, he was seen switching back to the standard 'Breakout' colorway of the Nike Mercurial Superfly 11, likely opting for the familiar comfort of his regular match boots.
