In training with the Norwegian national team, Erling Haaland is already wearing the Nike Phantom 6 in the „Cactus Jack“ look – the first football boot from Nike and Travis Scott.
A few days before Norway’s World Cup opener, training photos of Erling Haaland surfaced. And on the Manchester City striker’s feet: a striking football boot – lime green, with a dark brown collar, yellow laces and a gold-textured, reversed Swoosh.
It’s the Nike Phantom 6 Low Elite in the „Cactus Jack“ look. Travis Scott wears the same model in Nike’s World Cup campaign „Rip the Script“, there only in the studless version. Haaland’s pair adds his personal details on top: the Norwegian flag on the heel and the „Braut Haaland“ lettering above the Swoosh.
The Phantom 6 Is Travis Scott’s First Real Football Boot with Nike
Travis Scott has designed countless Nike and Jordan sneakers over the years, but never a football boot. The Phantom 6 changes that. And instead of merely showing it off in an ad shoot, Nike has Haaland wear it – just before his very first World Cup match.
The boot stands out from below, too. Underneath sits a flame-shaped stud pattern – a nod to Scott’s nickname „La Flame“ – on a soleplate that shimmers under the floodlights.
The Phantom 6 „Cactus Jack“ hasn’t officially launched yet. A release is expected this summer, around the World Cup, with 30 June occasionally floated. None of it is confirmed.
Whether Haaland laces up the „Cactus Jack“ model in the matches themselves is also open. Norway, back at a World Cup for the first time in 28 years, kick off on 16 June against Iraq, before Senegal and France follow.
By then at the latest, it’ll become clear whether the Phantom 6 „Cactus Jack“ makes it from the training ground to the big stage.
