Nike continue to split their four main silos, offering up individual looks and alternative pairings in a noticeable shift away from the usual quad-based packs. And their latest release continues that trend, with the ‘Terra Pack’ featuring new on-pitch looks for the PhantomVNM and Mercurial only.
A two silo pack with three styles, the Nike ‘Terra Pack’ is made up of the Mercurial Vapor 13 and Superfly 7, and PhantomVNM. For the latter, it’s the first time since its initial release in January that we’ve seen it on the scene with out its perennial life partner, the PhantomVSN, in tow. But this seems to be the way Nike are going these days; bucking trends and mixing things up to keep a fresh appeal across all four of its main silos.
All three styles within the Terra Pack see a base "Desert Sand" colour joined by accents of "Psychic Purple" throughout. For the Mercurial, in both Vapor and Superfly guise, that purple appears through the split soleplate, where you'll also find pops of vibrant green. Together it's a combination that – on paper – shouldn't work, but in reality absolutely does, in what is a unique look for the latest generations of Vapor and Superfly – that despite the creative freedom that the Nike By You platform now offers.
The PhantomVNM features an iridescence through the soleplate, which also shimmers through the black bordered Swoosh, while the pops of green here are reserved for the Nike "Planet Football" logo on the heel. Black then lines the collar, while another iridescent flash – this time running down the lace cover – gives the upper a flash finish.
Both silos have already been seen in training, with Harry Kane recently spotted giving the PhantomVNM a run out. The Terra Pack is not set to be a full roll out for all Nike stars, instead it's being reserved for a select few, with Kane and Neymar Jr set to debut them on pitch this week with the return of the Champions League, as Spurs face Olympiakos and PSG head to Real Madrid for what has to be the standout fixture of the round. Perfect place to put your new boots on show for the whole world to see.
