For fans of football boots, it’s no longer a surprise to see Nike producing all-black boots. In fact, many of us eagerly await the American brand’s models dressed entirely in black. It is a colour combination that gives Nike models a distinct look, an aesthetic which, thanks to its simplicity and elegance, drives both fans of the American brand and lovers of black boots wild. However, we’ll have to wait to see the new Mercurial Dragonfly in this new colourway, as so far we’ve only seen the Phantom GT and the Tiempo Legend, although Nike will soon be unveiling its new speed boots with this new look too. So yes, in today’s blog we’ll be looking solely at the Nike Tiempo Legend and the Nike Phantom GT.
NIKE X PRISM PACK
What does this new pack consist of? The answer is simple: it’s a straightforward restyling of the two models we mentioned earlier. But let’s talk about the significance of the pack’s name, because, as we said a moment ago, it’s not just black, as in previous editions, but we can also see different colours on the edges of the Swoosh and in other areas of the boot. Analysing the name of the pack, we find the word ‘prism’. But what does it mean? And above all, what significance does it have within this pack?
Let’s start by analysing the meaning of the word itself, which we will then link to the boot. A light prism is a piece of glass through which white light enters and, upon exiting, is separated into its constituent colours. Nike aims to draw a parallel with this optical and physical effect, as we see black on one side and the various colours on the other, seeking to translate the concept described above into its boots.

Now we will have a quick look at Nike’s most iconic football boot and explore all the technologies it features. The boot’s standout feature is undoubtedly the upper, crafted from extremely soft, top-quality leather that will mould to your foot like a second skin. We also find Quadfit, a technology that stabilises the foot inside the boot and aims to minimise any harmful movement that could lead to injury. Aesthetically, the colour scheme fits perfectly with the concept presented by Nike. We see a classic, elegant boot with touches of blue and red that make it stand out a little more.

Let’s now turn our attention to the new model that has merged the Phantom Venom and the Phantom Vision to create the GT. In terms of colouring, we see the same colour scheme as the Tiempo, with black as the dominant colour, though leaving just enough space for the light blue and yellow to stand out and make the combination truly spectacular. In terms of functionality, this is a versatile boot, designed for all types of players. It features a Flyknit upper, which makes the boot just the right weight, and incorporates textured patterns that provide the grip we need. The lacing system is offset to the outside, allowing for a flawless striking technique, free from any hindrance. Finally, the outsole, inspired by that of the classic Total 90, offers both stability and traction thanks precisely to its design.
