The new Nike Phantom GX Black Pack soccer cleats have a dark but not totally blackout design. Instead, they combine Black with dark grey, white, and orange.
The orange could celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the Hypervenom
What is particularly interesting is the inside of the cleats. They reveal orange, possibly inspired by the Nike Hypervenom Phantom. The Nike Hypervenom Phantom was launched in 2013 - 10 years ago.
So far, we can only guess if it is a wanted tribute or a coincidence.
For the nerds. Officially, the colors are 'Black/Summit White/Dark Smoke Grey'. Yes, there are no hints of orange in the official colorway visible.

Hypervenom Tribute? Let's hear your thoughts on the Nike 'Black Pack' Phantom GX cleats below.
Concept: What If World Cup Winners Wore Special Badges on Club Kits?
A creative concept visualized by Bleacher Report has sparked discussion among kit enthusiasts, posing an intriguing question: what if players who have won the FIFA World Cup were allowed to wear a special champion badge on their club kits? Under current FIFA equipment regulations, only reigning national team champions and Club World Cup winners are permitted to sport the official FIFA Champions Badge, but bringing an individual achievement patch to the club stage introduces a bold twist to modern shirt details.
The mockups feature World Cup winners wearing a sleek, gold trophy silhouette on their kit sleeves stamped with the year of their international triumph. The concept envisions players like Lionel Messi donning a 2022 patch on his Inter Miami shirt, Kylian Mbappé carrying a 2018 badge in Real Madrid white, and Rodri sporting a 2026 mark. It serves as an immediate visual marker of football's ultimate honor, staying with the player regardless of their club transfers.
In reality, domestic leagues and confederations enforce strict uniform guidelines that limit sleeve real estate almost entirely to league badges, sleeve sponsors, and charitable campaign logos. While regulatory hurdles make such a badge virtually impossible in professional football, the visualization offers a clean and compelling look at how personal legacy could be integrated into club kits.

The centerpiece of the design is a prominent black horizontal chest band accented by a thin 'Blue Spark' lower stripe.
