Soccer Cleats 101 Soccer Cleats News and Reviews
Although they are not set to be a limited edition release, the race will be on today to secure pairs of boots from the Nike Tech Craft collection. When you mix modern innovation with classic performance, you get a series of boots that players will want. Each of Nike’s four football boot styles – Hypervenom, Magista, Mercurial and Tiempo – have been fitted with Nike Tech Craft across the forefoot. Basically, Nike has taken Flyknit and Dynamic Fit collars, and matched them with a clean leather across the forefoot.
There is no doubt that huge numbers of pairs will be purchased on day 1 of release, meaning certain sizes are likely to sell out. For that reason, here is our quick summary on each boot and how you can secure your pair today.

Nike Magista Obra – Hyper Tourquoise

Nike Tiempo Legend V – Green Strike
Here lies the most unusual release in the range, simply because the Tiempo Legend is already a leather boot! But a clean paint job is added in order to keep the current longest running Nike boot available for players to choose. Defined for the traditionalist who doesn’t need flashy. Retail: $199.99

Nike Hypervenom Phinish – Total Orange
Here lies the one boot on the list that I really want to get my hands on! With the likes of Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane wearing the Phinish, and a layer of soft leather added to the forefoot, it lines up as a potentially deadly boot. Retail: $224.99.

Nike Mercurial Vapor X – Hyper Pink
We are familiar with the Vapor receiving leather like uppers in the past, but this represents a complete step up and a new way to combine speed with improved control. I’m sure this will be one of the hottest selling boots in the series. Retail: $224.99.

Nike Magista Opus – Hyper Tourquoise
Already billed as a control style boot, it will be interesting to see what players think of the tight leather across the upper. What style of definition will it create, and will it take away from the currently level of control? Retail: $199.99.
