Nike has failed...

PURE GRIP SOCKS WEBSITE - puregripsocks.com/
It seems like Nike comes out with at least one boot every year that surprises everyone, or at least introduces something that we've never seen before. With that said, 2020, for various reasons, has been slow. We got the Phantom Vision 2, which was just a very subtle refresh from the original, which would later be replaced by the Phantom GT, which also cancelled out the Phantom Venom. 2 Phantoms for 1, so you'd expect the Phantom GT to be pretty special. Well, it's not.
In today's video we take a closer look at the very good looking "Scorpion" colorway of the Phantom GT Elite, inspired by an 18 Nike commercial, but more importantly, we discuss how the Phantom GT stacks up against all of the amazing new football boots that have also come out in mid to late 2020. Do they live up to the hype Nike tried to push, or has the Phantom GT been a complete failure? Let's talk about that. Do you think the Phantom GT was a failure for Nike?

“Scorpion out of Tarantula” that might be the best string bag rating yet, because a scorpion is 3x cooler than a tarantula

[@lucpas157]

Fact: Scorpions eats Tarantulas

[@crisalcantara7671]

😂😂

[@lionelosse1003]

Nothing got me more hyped for indoor and field than nike joga bonito and scorpion cage videos with eric cantona presenting the legends all flexing their skills 😭😭😭😭😭 ugh memories. boot lover til i die man.

[@dnlp89]

@@monkfish3099 Can't forget the nike 'Ole' commercials. The early to mid 2000s were a great time in soccer. Wish I could go back.

[@01JGill]

As a 30 year old I remember the scorpion adverts, they were absolutely amazing with Cantona announcing it, all the best footballers in the world in a cage tournament with a great soundtrack - lot of reminscent value with these for me, I remember even owning the bright silver scorpion ball that got wrecked after about 10 kicks!

[@DriftJhawk]

So true... ball looked incredible brand new. I'd drag it to practice years later as a coach with scuffs and all and the kids still thought it was the coolest ball ever lol

[@dnlp89]

I'm 31 and I had a coach back then who bought a whole bag's worth of the chrome scorpion Nike balls. I thought it was the most amazing thing ever being able to play with them.

[@BradWithers]

That song is still my go to hype song before games

[@molley17]

I also had that ball, looked for one on eBay the other day and it started at £5000 for a size 3 🤯

[@Maseratti2185]

I was in high school when this tv commercials came out And of course I remember the hype and the cleats that was advertised back then was the vapor and the zoom total 90. Now I don’t understand what the heck does the phantom has to do this ? If I was Nike I would have done this special edition cleats with the vapors. And by the way I had that crome ball till it got stolen. But for some reason I was using the predators mania in champagne color.. everyone wanted to wear the predators like Beckham.. good memories 😌

[@hnmn57]

I actually held a tournament at that time with my friends in a ship wear the storage was empty. We even had the Chrome ball, we had Junkie XL on a loop and played for 8 hours in teams. Epic it was, damn I’m old. Plus the scorpion was representing Roberto Carlos signature in the commercial

[@spicecadet1126]

Wasn’t it a 3v3. Scorpion has three ways to attack you. I always assumed that was the connection. Sure it could have been a triceratops but that would have been goofy

[@thefoulslinger3751]

That makes a lot of sense

[@liambater7591]

That’s exactly right, the advert was a 3v3 cage tournament on a massive ship

Hey Josh, do you ever miss the days of boots coming with lunchboxes instead of bags?

[@rbw3000]

2000s Nike marketing was 🔥🔥🔥

[@cthoffman9351]

remember the dinho gold boot delivery and the crossbar volleys... that one ad got me into the sport when I was ~12 yrs old and ended up on scholarship for soccer in America. its kinda significant because I had played the big 3 sports since I was 4-5 years old and never had much interest in soccer til dinho caught my attention in that add..

[@Gladiator1972]

That colorway is fire, I wished the superfly had a similar color block.

[@leosouza4693]

I feel like the Scorpion comes from the idea of Scorpion cage matches, people pick them up in the desert and drop them in a ring to watch them fight... Maybe that's where it came from...

[@Noah_wef]

Hey Jane, could you please make an updated budget/below 140€ roundup/top5? And a new top 5 best performing boots? As we have the Phantom GT and the X Ghosted since you last did this. Thanks in advance 🙏

[@metsepoopedi4327]

I was asking myself what Mason Mount was wearing, this is clearly it.

[@patrickb2978]

The thing with the scorpion is the signature move performed by Roberto Carlos, which was called scorpion.

[@petarlalic3650]

My man, in that commercial, Roberto Carlos (I think) scored a decisive goal using a scorpio kick, so that is probably where the scorpio comes from :)

[@simonbiggit6475]

Hi Jonah, I'm looking for a very comfortable and quite protective pair of boots with quite aggressive traction, good lockdown and a padded touch and I really want to try out the Adipure IV/Tiempo legend 4/legend 4 elite however I'm not sure if it's the best idea due to durability issues. Other boots that I could fit into my budget are the Mizuno Morelia Neo 3 Elite, Mizuno Rebula 3 Elite (possibly MIJ), Tiempo Legend 7, Puma King platinum and possibly Copa 20+ as well. What would you recommend, the older Adipures or any of those newer models? Also the SG version of the Adipure and tiempo is only a 6 stud layout, how do they compare to more modern SG-PRO soleplates in terms of comfort and traction and do 6 medal studs still offer more traction than the bladed FG version of the Adipure? Thanks!

[@jacobsucksatfifa]

Go for the tiempo. If they break early you can send them back to nike for a $230 refund

[@Chai9]

The scorpion logo is in reference to Roberto Carlos scorpion kick/toss that he does in the ad no?

[@nikolaithorburn5100]

The Nike adverts of the early-mid 2000’s were class how young are your subscribers man!

[@CA120N3]

That ad and the T90 featured in it are gold, bring both back

[@aonelleyva3321]

Can u make a review of uno zero soccer boots or pirma and charly soccer cleats

[@jlee-li3dn]

I think it would have been better for the scorpion circle to be on the in step so they could look more like the air zoom total 90s IIs that had the big 90 circle. Also, the chrome and generative texturing makes the boot look like a steel utility box that you put in the back of a pick up truck.

[@treyrees9153]

Nike should've had you on the design team instead of whoever made the boots

[@HK-of7ql]

hey josh, do u prefer this one or phantom venom

[@datboi9539]

Havent tried the GT but tbis colorway looks cool so i might get it. ... but IMO Nike gave up on the VNM too soon

[@user-hp6pu1vn7q]

Hey jezzer do you know when will be released next nike mercurial boots

[@dwaynekaye2000]

November also shares the scorpion as the star sign scorpio,which may or may not have anything to do with why they used the scorpion🤷‍♂️.

[@Ghooster1914]

I am scorpion and i bought the boots, but TF version, for outdoors.

[@edwin5091]

I have slightly flat feet and whenever I wear a vapors I can only train in them for 10-20 minutes after the my mid foot starts hurting.. I am thinking about getting a phantom gt and going half a size down for a snug fit and tight.. not as tight as the vapors but relatively tight and snug.. if this won’t give me that sensation then what will ?

[@venezuelanpapii]

if im a size 10 in mercurial vapors, should i go down half a size for these? being as they are wider compared to the vapors? pls help

Does anyone know where you could get these with metal studs?

[@liambater7591]

I wanted these so bad as that advert was the reason I fell in love with football. But I got the black & pink ones because the chrome on these would wear off after a few games. Which was sad to me.

Predator 20.1 Vs phantom gt in terms of lockdown and responsiveness. Cant decide between them

They're pretty similar in that area, although the Preds for fit tighter overall, which can often make a boot feel more responsive. The stud pattern is more aggressive on the GT though, so it provides more bit when pushing off.
