With enigmatic uppers and shimmering soleplates flooding professional and amateur pitches in recent years, it’s hard to deny that pitches have never looked so colourful. But whilst vibrant colourways are all the rage, you can’t quite match the class and aesthetic of a classic blackout boot.
#1. Nike
Nifty Nike is back for 2023 with an iconic selection of Blackout Football Boots from their tried and tested Phantom and Mercurial range!
Nike Phantom GX
First up – The Nike Phantom GX.
Rising from the toe box, the Nike Swoosh dominates the landscape of the boot, utilizing Nike’s revolutionary GripKnit technology to exude a profile that visualizes the concept of control and pinpoint precision.
But the Phantom GX doesn’t just boast good looks, but delivers under the hood too…
Engineered with strikers in mind, the GX fuses Nike’s signature GripKnit technology with their recent Ghost Lacing System to deliver players a much sought-after ‘Close-to-the-ball-feel’, making passes, punts and touches that bit more personal.
But Nike’s dedication to innovation doesn’t stop there…
To sign off, Nike’s soleplate steals the limelight with its unique combination of Tri-Star, Conical and Arrow-Shaped Studs for unparalleled manoeuvrability on the pitch.
Your rivals won’t know what’s hit them when you become a side-stepping sensation wearing these groundbreaking boots on the pitch!
Nike Mercurial Vapor Elite
For over 25 years, the Mercurial Vapor has paraded the pitch, and it would be hard to find a Premier League or World Cup player who hasn’t tried and tested the iconic Mercurial Vapor Elite at least once during their career.
Made popular by the world’s most iconic players: Ronaldo, Mbappe, Neymar & Hazard, the Nike Mercurial is first and foremost, a scintillating silo built for speed.
Housing a tried and tested 3/4 Air Zoom unit within the mid and forefoot of the boot, the Zoom Unit promotes efficient energy return, whilst Vaporposite + fuses textured chevron mesh with Flyknit to help you stay in control when the pressure cranks up.
Complete with a sleek three-tone texture of light and bold blacks, the Vapor has never looked so good!
#2. adidas

Sporting tried and tested boot tech first unveiled earlier this year with their Core Black/ Cloud White/ Team Shock Pink colourway, the Accuracy comes awash in features that will have you launching the ball into the back of the net with ease.
To the upper, adidas’s patented ‘Hybrid Touch’ technology features a coated microfiber material to deliver a soft yet tailored fit, whilst the Zoneskin upper provides a cushioned feel of the ball upon impact.
adidas X Crazyfast
The Speedportal silo has never looked so slick!

More than just a pretty picture, the Puma Future doesn’t just look good, but performs great too!
