Joshua Kimmich to Return to Nike Phantom GX Boots?
- Kimmich's Boot Switch: Kimmich was seen training in Nike Phantom GX boots, indicating a return to the Phantom line after roughly two years using Nike Mercurial boots.
- Past Phantom Use: He consistently wore Nike Phantom boots from 2019 until before Euro 2021, later switching to the Phantom GT before a move to Mercurial.
- Previous Phantom Interest: In early 2022, Kimmich had worn Phantom GX prototype boots, suggesting a prior desire to switch back to the Phantom line.

Kimmich x Nike Phantom GX
From 2019 until before EURO 2021, Kimmich regularly wore Nike Phantom boots.
Following the release of the Phantom GT boot by Nike, the German midfielder has been wearing the Phantom GT Elite throughout the 20-21 season.
Kimmich then switched from the Phantom GT to the Mercurial just before EURO 2021, and has continued to wear the Mercurial Vapor range to this day.
In early 2022, Kimmich was allowed by Nike to wear the Phantom GX blackout prototype boots, which also implicitly showed that Kimmich wanted to return to wearing the Nike Phantom boot line.
