Nike Phantom GX 2 Elite FG - Black - UK 9

These cleats are specifically designed for optimal performance on Firm Ground (FG) natural grass pitches. They provide the best grip and stability on these surfaces.

No, it is not recommended to use FG cleats on artificial grass. The stud configuration is not designed for AG surfaces and can lead to premature wear of the cleats, damage to the artificial turf, and potentially increase the risk of injury.

After each use, gently brush off loose dirt. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Let them air dry at room temperature; avoid direct heat sources. Do not machine wash.

Nike Gripknit is a proprietary upper material that provides an exceptional, tacky touch on the ball in both wet and dry conditions, enhancing ball control and precision.

Cyclone 360 Traction refers to the specialized stud pattern on the soleplate, engineered to provide explosive agility, quick changes of direction, and strong multi-directional grip on firm ground.

The break-in period can vary per individual, but typically a few light training sessions are sufficient for the materials to mold to your foot and achieve optimal comfort.

Ensure you have the correct size. If the size is correct, allow for a proper break-in period over a few training sessions. Adjust lacing to relieve pressure points, ensuring they are snug but not overly tight.

Verify that you are playing on a Firm Ground (FG) natural grass surface, as these cleats are designed specifically for that. Ensure the soleplate and studs are clean of mud or debris that could hinder grip. Check that your laces are tied securely.

Review your cleaning and storage practices to ensure proper care. Avoid using the cleats on surfaces they are not designed for (e.g., artificial grass), as this can cause accelerated wear. Inspect for any manufacturing defects.

Ensure the Nike Gripknit upper is clean and free of dirt or residue. Practice using different parts of your foot to contact the ball to fully utilize the Gripknit's texture.
