Enzo Fernandez

During the recent match against England on July 15, Enzo Fernandez caught the attention of boot spotters by wearing a familiar pair of cleats. Instead of opting for the latest Nike releases, the Argentine midfielder laced up in the Nike Phantom GT2 boots, specifically the exact colorway he wore during the final stages of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Big thanks to @marcadegol.

This is not an isolated incident, as Fernandez was also spotted wearing the same Qatar-era boots earlier in the month on July 7. Returning to a boot model that is nearly four years old suggests that he may be looking for the same feel and comfort that accompanied his breakout performance and ultimate victory on the global stage, with some fans dubbing them his lucky boots. The Nike Phantom GT2 was officially succeeded by the Phantom GX and subsequently the Phantom GX 2 and Luna 2 lines.

Enzo Fernandez has been spotted training with his Argentina teammates in the Nike Mercurial Superfly 8 'Rawdacious' pack, which was originally released back in 2021.
