Nike Builds Hype for EA SPORTS FC™ 26 with Special Edition Phantom 6 Elite High

Nike Football's fairly new Phantom 6 Elite High FG is set to help usher in the launch of EA SPORTS FC™ 26.

Expected to release in September, the latest football title from Electronic Arts recently made headlines because it secured the rights to new clubs from across the globe. The video game institution is likely to unveil more goodies and events to celebrate its latest game, but for now, it's only confirmed the release of a special co-branded pair of the Phantom 6 Elite.

Co-signed by Erling Haaland, the Nike Phantom boot is obsessed with accuracy. Built upon a foundation laid and reinforced by the Phantom GX 1, GX 2, Luna 1, and Luna 2, the design provides enhanced grip, aggressively reliable traction, and a better fit to ensure athletes optimize their scoring potential.

The collaboration with EA Sports brings a "Multi-Color/Bright Crimson" color scheme to the pair. On paper, the palette may not seem all that interesting, but a quick glance at the Phantom 6 Elite High reveals an eye-catching package sure to win over longtime fans of the football video game franchise and newcomers alike. The Tuned Gripknit upper indulges in a plethora of tones laid out in a presentation inspired by the digital world. EA Sports FC text appears on top of the shrouded "tongue." Insoles feature Phantom Mode message that also appears on the boots' special packaging. The included nylon boot bag enjoys a static-reminiscent pattern that ties the concept together well.
