- New Release: The Nike Phantom GX 'Black Pack' football boots, the first black colorway of the model, were launched on January 16, 2023.
- Possible Homage: The design of the new boots might be a tribute to the 10-year-old Nike Hypervenom, with orange accents potentially referencing the older model.
- Features: The Phantom GX 'Black Pack' boots retain the same features as the original edition, including Gripknit material, Ghost Lacing system, and tri-star studs.
The first black pack colorway of the Nike Phantom GX football boots was launched today, Monday, 16 January 2023. Albeit not officially mentioned, it might draw inspiration from the 10-year-old Nike Hypervenom football boots.
The similarities to the Hypervenom could be also a coincidence

Nike Phantom GX 'Black Pack' - Black/Summit White/Dark Smoke Grey
Check out the new Nike Phantom GX football boots in black/summit white/dark smoke grey below.
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.
Looking at features, the black/summit white/dark smoke grey Nike Phantom GX 'Black Pack' boots are identical to the first edition.
