Nike “Back to Black” Summer Collection Released

Nike has just unveiled a collection of Summer boots that really go against the norm of modern releases. It has been labeled the “Back to Black” collection and as you can tell, the line-up is modeled off of the color Black.

In a world of vivid colorways, this latest set is actually going to stand out for a completely different reason. Maybe Nike actually took note of the fan reaction and put together a more traditional set of colors on their extremely modern range of boots. Either way, it is actually a really smart move and the designs are really sharp.

“We know that our players love to stand out on and off the field. That doesn’t always mean bright colors, sometimes reverting to a classic look is just as powerful a statement.” – Phil McCartney, VP of Footwear for Nike Football

On offer in the Back to Black collection you have the following four ranges and designs to choose from.

Nike Hypervenom Phantom

Colorway:  Tonal Black upper with dark Charcoal colored honeycombs and a Crimson Red Swoosh.

List Price: $224.99

This is Nike’s latest boot release on the market. It is built off the premise of “A new breed of attack“. In other words, this is a boot built for attacking style players who want to take hold of the game. As worn by Neymar, extremelly impressively might I add, at the recent Confederations cup.
