Nike Phantom GX II Academy SG Pro Anti Clog - Black - 5 UK

These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches, which are typically natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or soft.

No, stud keys, which are used for adjusting or changing the metal-tipped studs, are sold separately.

After use, remove loose mud by tapping the boots together. Wipe down the upper and soleplate with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

NIKESKIN is a specialized upper material designed by Nike that provides a grippy texture for enhanced ball control and touch, improving your feel for the ball.

Anti-Clog technology is a specialized coating on the soleplate that creates a slick surface, preventing mud from sticking and building up. This ensures your studs maintain optimal traction in wet and muddy conditions.

No, these SG (Soft Ground) boots are not recommended for artificial grass pitches. Using them on AG surfaces can damage the boots and the pitch, and may also increase the risk of injury. Always use boots appropriate for the playing surface.

While Anti-Clog technology significantly reduces mud buildup, extreme conditions or prolonged use without cleaning can impact its effectiveness. Ensure the soleplate is clean before each use. If mud is caked on, gently remove it with a soft brush and water, avoiding abrasive scrubbing that could damage the Anti-Clog coating.

Regularly check the tightness of your metal-tipped studs. Use a stud key (sold separately) to tighten any loose studs before each game or training session. If a stud has fallen out, replace it with a compatible soft-ground stud (spares not included, refer to manufacturer for recommendations).

Ensure you have the correct boot size and width for your feet. Break-in new boots gradually over several shorter sessions. Wear appropriate football socks that offer cushioning and moisture-wicking properties. If discomfort persists, consult with a footwear specialist.

Verify that you are using these boots exclusively on soft ground (wet, muddy natural grass). Using SG boots on firm ground or artificial surfaces will result in poor traction and potential damage. Also, ensure your studs are clean and not excessively worn.
