The appearance of Phantom GT is an adjustment of Nike's football shoe lineup. Can the combination of Phantom VSN and VNM achieve the effect of 1+1>2? For now, it still attracts the attention of many people, and Nike also directly made two first color matchings for it in one breath: black powder and white and black, which almost cover most people's aesthetics. What's interesting is that this time Phantom GT Pro seems to be more interesting than Elite. It is nothing more than that it shows almost leapfrog super performance, so today we will compare the differences between Elite and Pro in detail with you.


In fact, the line on the side of the shoe body is closer to the assassin, and looks more beautiful than its top view.
Shoe type comparison

Both pairs of shoes are very good in shaping, but the Elite is slightly wider at the arch of the foot than the Pro. In addition, because the Phantom GT has added a half-circle colored decorative strip to the upper this time, it is relatively "fat" from the top view from the front, but in fact its figure is slim.
Toe comparison

Because Elite is the FG version, the upturned curvature of the overall toe cap is obviously higher than that of AGP. But even so, Elite's toe space and volume are a little better than Pro.
Vamp material comparison

Elite: Flyknit fabric and fabric upper mixed with friction particles. Because the friction particles are fused in the upper, they will not fall off. This is also the same as the previous operation of the dark shame.
Pro: NIKESKIN that everyone is thinking of, the pinnacle is undoubtedly the brilliant creation of the poison front, which has led to a good reputation for it. The friction particles of the shoe upper are embossed and formed by the mold and will not fall off.
The three-dimensional effect and the degree of unevenness of the upper friction particles of the two pairs of shoes are basically the same, but there is one thing to say, the friction particles of the Elite in the individual positions of the upper are indeed more three-dimensional.
Regarding softness: Because the top shoe upper is Flyknit, it has a certain thickness, so it will feel a little harder than NIKESKIN in Pro, or more accurately, it is thick and tough. Pro's NIKESKIN is thin and crisp. ACC technology is only available on Elite, but having said that, whether or not this thing has any effect on the feeling of the upper is actually not significant.
Fabric collar contrast / upper Swoosh detail contrast

First of all, it is commendable on the Pro that the shoe body did not shrink, and the Flyknit stretch fabric was used the same as the Elite. The elasticity, density, and texture of the two are the same. But there are some differences in the upper. The Elite's upper is more like Assassin 13, with a small bulge on the edge including the heel. In the case of Pro, this bulge is much shorter and even the small bulge on the heel is eliminated.
The silver Swoosh on the Elite shoe is TPU bonded to the shoe by a thermal bonding process, and the Swoosh on the Pro shoe is silk-screened.
Outsole contrast

The outsole of Elite FG has a brand new Hyperquick System blessing, Pro AGP inherits this very well, and the semi-connected bridge support is still retained. It's just that FG's outsole is much thicker than AGP, and it's visually cooler. FG pays attention to flexible direction and speed, so you can see V-shaped or even deformed cylindrical nails. The AGP side is the traditional void cylindrical nail, with a V-shaped starter nail in the middle of the forefoot.
Forefoot studs comparison

The middle of the forefoot of Elite FG (where there is a Swoosh) is a hollow design, and the forefoot of Pro AGP is a one-piece non-hollow design.
Actual measurement of stud length

The highest forefoot studs: 1.27CM

The highest heel spike: 1.4CM. The shape and layout of the studs are basically based on the rapid and change of grip, but there are certain requirements for the venue.

The highest forefoot studs: 0.98CM

The highest heel spike: 1.11CM. One more sentence: Judging from the measured data of the length of this shoe stud, it is true that Nike's AGP has changed this time, and it is also caused by domestic grassroots. Compared with Adi's pure AG, this length is enough to be able to play. The only thing is that the stud layout is still slightly worse than Adi's pure AG in terms of quantity and density distribution. However, the grip and explosive power of this shortened AGP on human grass is definitely better than pure AG, after all, fish and bear's paws are too difficult to weigh.
Insole comparison

Elite is made of hard foamed EVA, and Pro is soft and similar to Ortholite (Ortholite is not marked on the insole), so overall their softness Pro will be better. Because the surface is bonded with a thin layer of mesh, there is no special anti-slip property. The net length of the JP 265 insole is the same: 26.7CM, and the widest part of the forefoot is 9CM.
Elite: The standard lean feet will be a bit bigger, and the normal wider ones can follow the normal size.
Pro: Too half a yard.

The back of the Elite insole is the typical Assassin 13 routine, with a white foam material to further enhance the strength of the insole and bite the pattern of the midsole. There is nothing special about Pro.
Shoe compartment midsole comparison

The internal structure of the shoe compartment of the Phantom GT Elite is almost identical to that of the Assassin 13! The one-piece ultra-thin built-in midsole, which is also covered with dimples, is used to interact with the protrusions on the back of the insole to fix the insole and prevent sliding.

Phantom GT Pro can be seen as the structure of the PP midsole built into the full palm (there is a large injection hole at the back), so the strength of the Pro midsole is actually better than that of the top.

Shoe body weight comparison
Here comes the interesting part. The Pro is actually lighter than Elite in the same size (JP 265)! I think most people didn't expect this result!
to sum up
The price/performance ratio of the Phantom GT Pro is really eye-catching, but does this mean that Elite has no advantage at all? In fact, not necessarily, many people are amplifying the cost-effective advantage of Pro while ignoring the specialty of Elite. With the increasing maturity of Flyknit technology and the lightweight outsole configuration, Phantom GT Elite is likely to become another explosive product of Nike after Assassin 13. Do you think it is competitive? ! So if you are not bad money or want to experience the best GT, then undoubtedly you have to go to Elite, which will provide a top experience similar to the assassin but with some differences. Pro is enough for real parties or those who are price sensitive.
