Nike just revealed the PhantomVSN boots, which will be worn by the likes of Philippe Coutinho, Kevin De Bruyne, Mallory Pugh, Tyler Adams, Fran Kirby and Leon Goretzka.

Mesut Ozil is one of the most serene players in world football, able to glide past defenders and place inch-perfect passes while still looking like he gives zero f*cks about being on the pitch.
