- Headline Features:

  • Nike Phantom VNM Elite match-worn by John Stones, England international and one of Manchester City’s most technically gifted defenders.
  • Worn during the 2019/20 season in the Carabao Cup Semi-Final (2nd Leg) — the Manchester Derby at the Etihad Stadium on 29 January 2020.
  • This match contributed to City progressing 3–2 on aggregate before ultimately winning the trophy at Wembley, securing their third consecutive Carabao Cup title.

  • Exceptional levels of personalisation, including:
  •   • ‘STONES’ + England flag to the lateral heel.
  •   • ‘GET IT IN YA’ and a pencil emoji to the medial side — an inside joke between Stones and teammate Kyle Walker.

  • A rare pair showcasing some of the most extensive professional modifications seen on a modern Nike Phantom model.
  • Fully authenticated and accompanied by the BC Boots UK Certification Package, including entry into the online verification portal.

- Player Features & Modifications:

Athlete Services Construction:

  • Manufactured in Montebelluna, the same elite production line used for Nike’s top contracted athletes.
  • Built to Stones’ unique measurements, resulting in a tailored internal fit and enhanced structural support.

Custom Soleplate Specification:

  • Features a completely non-retail, hybrid SG-Pro soleplate — created by combining stud layouts and tooling from:
  •   • CTR360 Maestri III
  •   • T90 Laser IV
  •   • Tiempo Legend IV
  • The plate has been made transparent for disguise purposes, a technique frequently used on pro boots to avoid revealing unreleased or unconventional tooling.
  • Designed for optimal soft-ground traction and stability in elite-level match play.

Internal Performance Enhancements: 

  • Custom carbon fibre plate inserted inside each boot, improving rigidity and energy return while offering Stones-specific foot support.
  • Stones’ custom foot last ID is hand-written on top of each carbon insert.
  • A bespoke padded layer has been installed beneath the laces to prevent lace bite and improve game-time comfort.

Personalisation Details:

  • Lateral heel personalisation: ‘STONES’ + England flag.
  • Medial text: ‘GET IT IN YA’ plus a pencil emoji, referencing an ongoing private joke with Kyle Walker.
  • Unique to the player and never commercially available.

- Collector & Investment Significance:

  • An incredibly rare, match-worn, highly modified Nike Phantom VNM from one of England’s most important defenders of the modern era.
  • Directly tied to a high-profile Manchester Derby in a competition Manchester City went on to win, giving the pair strong historical and match relevance.
  • Extensive pro-level customisation — particularly the hybrid soleplate and carbon-fibre internal construction — makes this pair exceptionally desirable among collectors of top-tier modern Nike boots.
  • A standout item for any collection focused on Manchester City, England internationals, or heavily personalised Nike Athlete Services models.
