Gavi’s Football Boots

Dean Ariola

Gavi wears releases from the Phantom line, and so Gavi boots would essentially showcase the silo’s multiple generations. Nike markets the Phantom as the boot for midfielders, for players with impeccable skills on the ball and for those who dictate the flow of the game from the middle third. The young Spanish midfielder clearly fits the bill of what an ideal Nike Phantom player is.

Scary Good Phantom 6

Gavi was ready to roll with Nike’s opening Phantom for the 2025/26 season, wearing them as early as Barca’s first preseason match. Scary Good pack delivered the Phantom 6 in a combination of deep red-bordered orange Gripknit and a clear quarter that had a tinge of purple. Gavi of course wore the Elite low version.

What’s Gavi Wearing?

Gavi’s official boot history includes both generations of the Nike Phantom GT. He wore the green ‘Impulse‘ GT 1 dedicated for the Euro 2020, and went through various colourways for the GT 2 such as the Progress, Motivation, Recharge and Lucent.

At such a young age, Gavi has become a major part of the rotation for both club and country. He normally plays on the right side of the midfield and is known for his intelligence on the pitch. Perhaps due to being a homegrown Barcelona talent, Gavi has that composure to be press-resistant, the pre-knowledge of what to do next upon receiving the ball and that nice quick turn to immediately initiate a counter attack. The new Xavi-Iniesta duo has been raised due to Gavi playing alongside the equally talented Pedri for both FC Barcelona and Spain football team. In 2022, he was awarded with the Golden Boy award, beating the likes of Jude Bellingham and Jamal Musiala.
