Nike Phantom GT “University Gold / Black / Fireberry” – 2021
 
Unleash the gold standard with this University Gold Phantom GT—one of Nike’s most striking colourways from the 2021 Phantom lineup. Bold, brilliant, and built for those who obsess over detail, this limited-edition boot blends premium tech with rare aesthetic swagger.
 
 Key Features & Design
Colourway: University Gold (dominant gold tones) with Black and Fireberry pink accenting the Swoosh, laces, and stud tips. 
Upper: Flyknit construction with a generative texture designed for superior grip and dynamic touch. The texture layout mirrors classic Phantom GT DNA. 
Lacing: Off-center lacing for a clean strike zone, minimised lace interference on shooting and passing. 
All Conditions Control (ACC): Ensures performance in wet or dry environments — essential for true collectors who wear or display under all conditions. 
Plate / Traction: Standard Phantom GT soleplate (Hyperquick system) made for firm ground surfaces. Agile turns, sharp cuts, responsive grip. 
 
Rarity & Release
It was leaked in early 2021 as part of Nike’s “Gold Pack”, reportedly intended for a May 2021 release at around €250. 
Some reports suggest it never got full wide resale — that adds to its rarity and collector status.
 
Why Collectors Will Love It
It’s a style statement — nobody misses the gold. Perfect for display or for playing with serious aesthetic pedigree.
Combines all the Phantom GT tech of the era: Flyknit comfort, ACC touches, solid traction.
Very few pairs around, especially in immaculate or brand new condition
 
Fit & Use Notes
Fit is generally true to size for Phantom GT models, though Flyknit tends to mould with wear — factor that in if wide-footed.
Best used on firm natural surfaces; avoid abrasive artificial ground if you want to preserve texture.
