Special Multicolor Nike Phantom Fusion GX 2023 "Link" Boots Released
- New Release: The Nike Phantom Fusion GX "Link" football boots, a special multicolor edition, were released on March 6, 2023, and are available for purchase.
- Design & Technology: The boots feature a rainbow multiknit inspired by Flyknit combined with Gripknit, with a black base, multicolor threads, a Volt Swoosh, blue Gripknit text, and a gradient black/white sole. They retain the same technical features as the launch edition including combined Flyknit and Gripknit.
- Player Usage: Several players, including Foden, Tchouameni, and Mount, have been seen training in the boots, with most expected to wear them in upcoming matches, while Haaland may revert to his older Mercurial boots.
Update: Four players have laced up in Nike Phantom GX Link football boots in training this week - Phil Foden, Aurelien Tchouameni, Erling Haaland, and Mason Mount. We expect all except Haaland to also wear them this weekend - the Norwegian possibly returns to his old yellow Nike Mercurial Superfly 9 football boots, as he did in early February 2023.

It remains to be seen which other players will wear the multicolored Phantom GX soccer boots, but we expect it to be 4-6.
The special multicolor Nike Phantom GX 2023 football boots have been released today. Called the "Nike Phantom Fusion Link", they are a loose "limited edition" release. It is not known how limited they are, but they are certainly not extremely limited, but they will not be available for months.
The name is Nike Phantom Link/Phantom Fusion
The Nike Phantom Fusion football boots have a rainbow multiknit inspired by the original Nike Flyknit, meshed together with the Gripknit debuted on the new Phantom GX.
