Nike drop their first on-pitch boot collection of the new 22/23 season on the week that the Premier League kicks off. This here is the Lucent Pack and it arrives dressed for summer with bold aesthetic built for standing out when that first whistle blows on Friday night.
Nike enter the new domestic season armed with a next-generation Mercurial line that headlines the Lucent Pack. Dropping in a "Yellow Glow/Sunset Stroke" combination, the Air Zoom Superfly and Air Zoom Vapor are injected with a final blast of summer to ensure the Swoosh have all eyes on their players when the European campaigns get underway this weekend. The Air Zoom branding returns as Nike hammer home the messaging of that energy return that they've hooked the Mercurial up with.
The Tiempo Legend IX takes on a typically classy coat for the new season and lands as the most subtle update on the Lucent Pack. The primary "Guava Ice" colour palette brings an off white canvas for the "Sunset Glow" Swoosh to bounce off and tie the boots into the Lucent Pack theme of the Mercurial. Throw in some black outlines and you've got a Tiempo template that works perfectly. Reckon you'll be seeing a lot of these on pitches across the professional and amateur game this summer and autumn.
The Phantom GT II, which once again drops in a slightly higher collared (DF) version and a lower cut, mixes up the colours with a "Glacier Ice/Black/Yellow Strike" combo. Built for players looking to complement the control elements of their game, the Phantom GT II will be worn across all playing positions as a lightweight blend of comfort, power, accuracy and touch.
You can expect to see all contract Nike professional players switch into the Nike Lucent Pack for their final training sessions ahead of the Premier League kicking off on Friday night as Crystal Palace host Arsenal. As for the collection, after a few weeks of sporadic on-pitch appearances it's finally available to buy now for your own respective season kick offs.
