Nike drops Alexia Putellas' first-ever player edition Phantom
Mon, Feb 02.26
Drop: Nike Phantom 6 x Alexia Putellas
Release Date: Monday 02/02/2026
Nike Football has unveiled a landmark release: Alexia Putellas’ first-ever Player Edition boot, built on the Phantom 6 and designed to reflect one of the most influential players in the modern game.
Known as La Reina, Alexia dictates matches through intelligence, touch and total control. Her Player Edition brings that identity to life - blending elite performance innovation with deeply personal storytelling, and setting a new standard for how women’s football is represented through product.
A Number That Became an Identity
At the centre of the design is 11.
Not the obvious choice. Not the expected one. But the number that shaped Alexia’s journey. Inspired by watching Rivaldo growing up, she connected with the number early - and made it her own.
That story runs through every detail. The “More Than 11” theme repeats across the boot, with eleven elevens appearing from lace tips to sockliner, outsole to upper. It’s subtle, intentional, and personal.
For the first time, Alexia’s Nike logo also features - formed by two elevens merging into an elegant “A”, crowned as a nod to her jersey number, name and nickname.
Everything hides in the details
The colour palette mirrors Alexia’s presence on the pitch.
Radiant reds reflect power, movement and creativity. Light metallic accents add a premium finish, while glitter elements bring the boot to life under stadium lights. Layered graphics add depth, reinforcing that this is more than a colourway - it’s a story.
The same design language extends beyond the boot, appearing on an adult tracksuit and kids’ apparel, reinforcing the wider cultural impact of the release.
This Player Edition doesn’t just celebrate Alexia - it sets a precedent for elevating women’s voices in football storytelling, reinforcing Nike’s commitment to representation and innovation.
Phantom Precision
Beneath the design sits the most advanced Phantom yet.
Alexia’s Player Edition features the full Phantom 6 performance package, built for players who dominate through precision rather than chaos. The Tuned Gripknit upper delivers exceptional touch and control in all conditions, while the Cyclone 360 plate supports confident cuts, rotations and rapid changes of direction.
An optimised toe box enhances comfort and close ball control, allowing the boot to move naturally with the foot - exactly how Alexia plays.
