Nike has just released arguably the best colorway we have seen to date in the Hypervenom Phantom range. It comes in a pretty tasty Hyper Blue/Black/Volt that has a lot of players excited about the agility boot. The mix is sharp and refreshingly, it doesn’t look like most other Neon colorways we have become accustomed to in recent times.
Visually, the first thing you notice about the Hypervenom is the oddly textured upper. Basically, it is comprised of a mesh underlay, a layer of skin over it and the final product is treated with ACC technology. When you get a pair in hand, you will notice the honeycomb paneling has a dimpled-feel effect covering the entire surface of the boot. It is the first piece that sets these boots apart in a new category; “Agility”. The responsive nature of the upper material allows it to move more uniformly with your foots natural positioning.

And what has become most synonymous with fans of the Hypervenom since its release is the wide fitting upper. The forefoot is designed to covet players that need some extra space and have challenges finding the right size boots. Because it has a mesh like feel, the Nikeskin upper has the ability to expand across your foot and I noticed that it gradually stretches over time.

Personally, I found the friction created on the ball to be pretty pitch perfect for placing shots on target, especially the “pass” style shot. When you want to pick out a corner, it can compliment how you connect with the ball. In terms of shooting, the design plays a pretty important role. You get the benefit of a skin type feel across the inward panels, while the raised regions offer a little extra pop or rebound on shots.
The boots also look set to grace the feet of pro players this weekend. We already spotted Robert Lewandowski wearing them today in Borussia Dortmund’s Bundesliga game and the boots looked pretty tasty coupled with the darker away kits. This is the type of look where these boots are going to have the most effective appearance.
