Jack Grealish’s choice of football boots has traced a journey from a worn-out pair of Nike Hypervenom Phantom III Elites—his so-called “lucky boots” from a Championship Playoff final—to the latest Nike Phantom GT2 Elite, which he wore while scoring his first international goal.
The Lucky Boots from the Championship Playoff Final
In May 2019, Grealish was playing for Aston Villa in the Championship Playoff final. That day he wore a distinctive pair of Nike Hypervenom Phantom III Elite boots that had become his lucky charm. After returning from injury, he had scored several goals while wearing them and refused to switch to another pair. He continued using the boots until they were worn down to the core, with the upper layer peeled off the forefoot.
The Switch to Phantom GT2 Elite
Several years later, now carrying the tag of the most expensive English player ever, Grealish has his pick of any boot on the market. He has stayed with Nike and chosen the latest Phantom GT2 Elite—a natural progression from the Hypervenom style. His current pair has already proved equally fortunate: this week he scored his first international goal while wearing them.
What Makes the Phantom GT2 Unique?
On the pitch, the boot is unmistakable, with intersecting angles, lines, and colour blocks. Designed for creative playmakers, the Phantom GT is one of the most data-driven boots Nike has ever created. Based on years of Nike lab research, the Generative Texture (where the “GT” comes from) across the upper provides precise touch and control when shooting, passing, and dribbling.
