Lautaro Martínez and Kevin De Bruyne Train in Nike Phantom GT Blaze Pack Boots
In November 2022, Nike released the new Nike Phantom GX football boot silo. Now Nike give us a stunning special-edition colorway of the Nike Phantom GX, called 'Blaze'.
We originally thought that the new 'gold' Nike Phantom GX 2023 football boots would be the second on-pitch colorway of the silo. This is not the case - they are a special/limited colorway, called 'Blaze'.
Unlike expected, they are no standard on-pitch colorway but a special-edition release
It is not known if any Nike players will wear the special-edition Nike Phantom GX Blaze football boots.
