A closer look to PhantomVSN by Nike

The appointment is at San Siro, but not on the green lawn of the Scala del Calcio, but in one of the garages of the stadium, theater of the exclusive trial of the new Nike PhantomVSN. The underground location recalls the street and dark soul of the boot there we tested the new upper in exclusive, testing the fit and comfort in the control and shooting.

The new boots were officially unveiled yesterday and they will be the flagship football product of the Swoosh for the 2018-19 season. After a brief technical introduction, we tried the five-a-side version of the new model. One of the first impressions once worn the shoe is the extreme adaptability to the foot from the first fitting: the fibers that form the fabric of the inner sock perfectly fit the shape of the foot, without any need to make them take shape.
The lacing system is well present under the fiber cover. The new connection system is called by chance Ghost Lace (Ghost Lace) and is the result of countless hours of research and consultation with the players, who led the designers of Nike to see a preference in favor of the presence of a traditional lacing. The system allows you to tighten the laces uniformly and at the same time to have the surface of the neck free and homogeneous to kick. The Flyknit upper is highly textured and guarantees perfect control, revolves entirely around the figure of the triangle, which finds its maximum representation in the middle area, where three of the most important bones of the foot create the area considered most critical for the control of the ball.

In short, all the promises made by press release seem to have been really maintained by Nike, in a shoe that borders on technical perfection and will be the sure protagonist of next season.
