Nike Hypervenom Phantom – Neo Lime Edition

A boot that has got plenty of coverage over the past week from the players wearing them is the latest colorway in the Nike Hypervenom series. It is officially listed as a Neo Lime/Total Crimson/Black and on-pitch they have been making a pretty solid impression. In particular, several attacking Manchester United players have taken to the range, with Danny Welbeck, Adnan Januzaj and Wayne Rooney performing well over the Christmas period while wearing this version.

Obviously, the Hypervenom Phantom is not intended to be a follow-up power release to the T90 Laser range. They are a replacement, but Nike has completely remodeled the technology and is looking to provide players with a much different type of performance. Definitely geared toward attacking styled players, with the final 7.2oz product ensuring a lightweight feel and full impact acceleration in-game. Nike has been drumming the notion of “agility” since the Hypervenom was released. It is feature of the boot that they really want fans to embrace and connect with the new silo. It seems to be their way of moving forward and progressing with the speed of the modern game.
