Yo, could you imagine? 😂😂😂 I'd be getting size men 6s all the time or size 10s if the GX2 was men's sizing and the Luna2 was women's. It would have been a confusing nightmare!
Great review, and as always appreciate the “4 annoying things” part of the review. No boot is perfect and it's good to have a little bit of criticism thrown at them so that you get a full view of what the boot is.
Are they for wide feets? I can't decide, phantom gx or Tiempo 10 pro or vapor 15 pro. I bought adidas copa 2.1. They seem comfortable when I wear them, but they somehow numb my feet during the match. I want to sell them and buy something else. @@rareretroboots
The cyclone soleplate is probably Nike’s worst tooling ever. I’m so disappointed with this change. The GX1 is an instant classic and the Luna was a complete flop, why would Nike decided to continue with it?
It’s definitely something that will split opinion, yeah. I like the forefoot area a lot but that soft midfoot isn’t really my jam either. Would have preferred the GX 1 tooling if I’m honest, even with the soft midfoot on that as well. /Jay
And just like that all of Nike’s marketing spiel about the Luna being a women’s specific boot designed “for her” has been quickly swept under the rug 😂 So much for the cyclone plate being specifically designed & researched to accommodate the female anatomy and prevent common injuries in the women’s game… Now they’ve slapped it on the GX2, massively contradicted themselves & made a potentially worse boot also. Quite shameless from Nike in my opinion.
That’s interesting. I was wondering how they were going to do the AG plate for this. Definitely helps sell this one a bit more for me, but the GX1 upper was just too good to change already.
First gen was an instant classic, this just looks ugly. Props to Jay for being honest. Gonna see if i can pick up another pair of GX elites for a discount
Just got a pair of the phantom luna 2’s I’d say that in comparison, the phantom gx dfs were way too tight for me. Happy with the decision. I’d say everyone try them on for yourself before making too many judgements!
Since all i play on these days is AG its nice that you comment on the AG version and the differences there. I prefer a stiffer sole plate but do love my GX1. Based on this I will maybe see if i can get a pair of these in AG on discount sometime down the road. But not a day one purchase for me
nike may as well have just made a “wide version” like new balance does and placed these in it. sounds like a huge downgrade (inadvertently) for those with narrow feet
Jay, I have a couple of options of boots that I want to get Of all this boots which do u prefer mostly I would appreciate it if u would reply? 1-Phantom GX 1 2-Copa pure 2 3-Mercurial Vapor 4-tiempo legend 5-Predator Accuracy
Hey Jay, I was wondering what you think, I have a narrow fit and the mercurial line fits me well and I was wondering if you think i could get away with wearing the phantom gx2 even though they are a bit wider ?
Yo jay, i currently got a tiempie legend 9 playing on the wing, im really thinking of buying the phantom gx1 as a replacement boot oncr its time to get a new one, could this be the right option or do you have anything else in mind?
So the luna was marketed as a football boot “designed for and by woman” and now it’s just the gx with a collar 😂😂😂😂 why am I not even surprised the luna was really uncomfortable though compared to the gx so maybe that’s why
Yeah I think they would have appealed to more people by keeping the GX 1 plate. I like Cyclone 360 for what it does, but would probably also have preferred to stay with the GX 1 tooling - even though it had its flaws with the soft midfoot in my book. /Jay
@@focusfire5306 if that's the case then I might consider buying a regular or custom pair of the GX 2. ☺️ I just don't like the Luna soleplate. Hits different.
To clarify there WON’T be a GX 2 with the GX 1 tooling - at least not for the FG boots. The AG-Pro outsole from GX 1 is being carried over and will also be on the GX 2.
Wonder if I’ve made a mistake going for a half size up as the websites recommended a whole size up 😬. They arrive this weekend so hoping it fits well (I went for the lunas)
@@aahansuniverse3962 for me half a size up worked great, leaves just under a pinky worth of room but my old boots were about a 1/4 size too big so its more 3/4 a size up rather than anything
Have always wanted one And is it true, that once you so good at ball with bare foot, and u finally use boots, is really gonna be difficult for the person to play well in boots, is it true sir?
usually it is but he made a review before and said the shoe kinda shapes into your feet perfecetly so it will be as if your playing with your feet plus better grip
@@TheBooch lol thanks sir, I hope so, is just that I haven't use boots to play football, is just my slippers or my barefoot, I just pray I can play more better with it than my barefoot ☺️☺️.
@@unisport Thanks Jay for the clarification, appreciate it. By the way, i personally like the grippy feeling on GX1, i dont think its too much. Hopefully this gen offers the same feeling. PS do u think the grid on the upper help controlling the ball? I mean first touch & Curving the ball

@@unisport thanks Jay! Just to be clear. The only difference between the Phantom GX 2 and Phantom Luna, is one is low cut and the other one is high cut and everything else is the same, yeah?
It kinda reminds me of Nike Mercurial Vapor 14 Elite AG-PRO Blueprint the boots that were my favorite but that i broke, i needed a new pair so i got nike phantom gx1 in green. But the downside of that was i think the lack of my power and think that blue fit’s me more weel. So i think im probaly gonna get one so i can feel more comfortoble, but remember if you want to do it better you have to get out of your comfortoble zone or die trying….
Is the Luna sizing in women’s? Or is it now in men’s sizing as the default option?
It’s now men’s sizing 👍 /Jay

Hahahahaha yeah it was a good call - still, I think the whole GX/Luna naming is silly with the boots being variations of the same thing

The only reason I want the luna 2’s is because of magista obra 2, such a fantastic boot
8:02 few years ago, if boots had soles as flexible as these, they would have been considered fake, 😂 but now it’s a feature
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What do you mean by thicker and more loose outsole, Is it worse lockdown wise?

Did you mean gx1?
@@ogunozmalkoc805yes!
I bought some grip socks from you yesterday in Denmark🙏 love the vids❤🎉
would you recommend this new GX2 model to someone that have wide midfoot and flat feet ?
Per Nike, "For use on slightly wet, short-grass fields."
Dumb question, can it be used on Turf?
So the AG plate of the GX and GX2 is the same right???
Correct! 👍
should i go half a size down?
Hey Jay, I was wondering what you think, I have a narrow fit and the mercurial line fits me well and I was wondering if you think i could get away with wearing the phantom gx2 even though they are a bit wider ?
Do you recommend true to size or half size down ?
Hi I was wondering, if I buy them on your website do I get a bag with it as well?
Not a fan of the FG tooling but would def get an AG pair of my GXs give up on me🤣 also OG tooling of the GX are just to me, perfect👌🏼
Hi Jay, the bunching on the GX2 does it also happens on the Luna2?
Is it ok for wide feet ? Thank you🙏
So the only thing that separates them is the style of the shoe (high profile on the Luna - low profile on the GX2)? Please answer if it's possible 🙏 ❤
Are these wider than the GX?
Unisport what socks are you using?
will there be new colourways of the phantom gx1? or is with the release of the phantom gx2 the phantom gx1 series completed?
The GX 2 will take over from the GX 1, so there won't be any more new colourways from that and they will stop production of GX 1. /Jay
Nike needs to mess up this bad because it doesn’t go much further uphill from GX1. Now we went from couldnt be better to couldn’t be worse haha
is nike phantom gx 2 academy good for wide feet?
Yo jay, i currently got a tiempie legend 9 playing on the wing, im really thinking of buying the phantom gx1 as a replacement boot oncr its time to get a new one, could this be the right option or do you have anything else in mind?
Buy whatever fits your foot the best
Hello. My foot is exactly 26.8cm long and not a wide foot. Would you recomend me goinf for size 43 eu or 44?
is new bellingham predators better than this??
So the luna was marketed as a football boot “designed for and by woman” and now it’s just the gx with a collar 😂😂😂😂 why am I not even surprised the luna was really uncomfortable though compared to the gx so maybe that’s why
Which do you think is better, Puma Future or Nike Phantom GX2??
new future 7s surface are bit like gt2
Am here again lookin at things i won't buy🙂
Adidas predator ft elite ag next? 👀
How much do they weight?
how do these compare to the phantom venoms?
I am a size 8 in the old gx. Should i stick to my true size for the new gx? Or go 7.5?
No choose your size the shoes are real size
They should've just use the plate of the GX 1 on the GX 2. Same upper then differs on the plate and collar.
Yeah I think they would have appealed to more people by keeping the GX 1 plate. I like Cyclone 360 for what it does, but would probably also have preferred to stay with the GX 1 tooling - even though it had its flaws with the soft midfoot in my book. /Jay

I’m looking to get a pair of Phantom GX in AG soleplate. Would you recommend GX 1 DF or GX 2 for AG plate? Thank you!
Personally, I prefer the GX DF for the tighter fit in the heel and the fact that the DF collar means you get less rubber bits inside the boots /Jay
@@unisportis the tightness that much of a difference?
Which is the most similar to the GT? GX 1 or GX 2? Thanks
That’d be the Skechers SKX_01 to be fair, it’s essentially a GT 3 and better than both GT 1 and GT 2 in my book 👍

for what reason?

great video, can really see that this guy is into shoes and I quiet like it haha. Will probably give the GX1a shot, as I`m a mercurial guy so far
8th comment! So you're saying that it has less grip than the previous version. Then what is its stand out feature?

perhaps but top player for nike like kdb will definitely wear the 2s for promotion
Basically the GX2 is the Lunar1 with low top + different grid pattern on the upper.
