About this product
Nike's Kids' Phantom GX II Academy Firm Ground soccer cleats are designed for young players in size 5.5Y. Built for firm natural surfaces, they feature a synthetic upper with Nike's Generative Texture for enhanced touch. Made in Indonesia, this Academy model offers reliable performance at an entry-level price of $25.00.
Our take
For $25, these Nike Phantom GX II Academy cleats are a steal for a kid's size 5.5. The synthetic upper is soft out of the box, and the Generative Texture actually helps with dribbling. On firm ground, the traction is decent, though I'd prefer a bit more bite on wet grass. They fit true to size and feel lightweight. However, the build quality feels a bit cheap—the insole is thin and the heel cup lacks support. Great for budget-conscious parents.
