Product description
The beautiful game is not always played in perfect weather and bad weather conditions can quickly become your worst opponent. It can hold you back, turn your confidence too cautiousness and take all tempo out of your game. Mud is a common obstacle during rainy days and this often cause your outsole to get clogged and weigh you down with extra weight. In worst case this will also be the cause for you to slip and lose control in the most critical moments of the game. Nike is now launching their groundbreaking Anti-Clog Traction technology, which secures that mud doesn’t get gathered under your boot. The innovative technology has been developed over a two-year period with a great influence from people with backgrounds within material sciences, engineering and chemistry. The purpose with this new technology is that you shouldn’t be careful or held back in the way you play, due to the weather conditions. By using adaptive polymers in the material of the outsole, Nike has managed to secure that the mud doesn't stick to the sole, but instead just slide away. A understanding of muds molecular structure was the key in the development of a hydrophilic solution, which works as a lubricious layer that doesn’t compromises the grip to the surface. This makes the boot able to reject the mud and thereby letting you not lose your grip, when it comes to the most critical moments of the game. Ready for rain, ready for mud - your opponents doesn’t stand a chance!
The Hypervenom is a boot designed for the agile and attacking player, that is deceptive by nature. It is for the player that with his lethal abilities, is capable of changing directions in a split second - leaving his opponent in the dust.

Return of the original and popular NikeSkin upper
Based on feedback from the pro-players, Nike has brought back the NikeSkin. The pro-players demanded a thinner more flexible and comfortable upper with a shorter break-in. So the hugely popular NikeSkin from the Hypervenom I is back! It has been combined with all the best from the Hypervenom II: the Flywire and the Dynamic Fit Collar. The NikeSkin material and the textured upper with its small elevations and dents, creates more friction between the boot and the football. Thereby creating a closer touch on the ball, allowing you to keep it close to your foot. The upper has been coated with All Conditions Control (ACC), a technology that allows for a great touch on the ball in all weather conditions.
Flywire gives you the ultimate lockdown
When Nike developed the new Hypervenom there was no room for coincidence. In cooperation with bio mechanism experts, the Nike designers analysed the foot's metatarsal bones and how they move. What Nike learned was that these exact bones are your foremost tool for taking advantage of your full movability. Therefore, Nike have implemented their Flywire technology in the upper, hereby providing the lockdown needed for optimal stability. The cables have been strategically placed to give your first and fifth metatarsal the freedom of movement needed to allow you to keep your natural freedom of movement.
Dynamic Fit Collar provides the optimal fit
The revolutionising Dynamic Fit Collar, which we also know from the Mercurial Superfly and Magista Obra, allows your boots to feel like a natural extension of your leg. The upper perfectly fuses with the Dynamic Fit Collar, with the result that no seems will be in direct contact with your foot, thereby avoiding irritation. Furthermore, Nike have updated the boot’s heel counter with an asymmetrical heel stitching. This change frees your achilles, thereby allowing you to move more freely.
A sole in sync with your foot
The sole on the Hypervenom Phantom II is made with one main purpose; for the boot to work together with the foot. The forefoot has a split toe, to allow the big toe to be in touch with the surface for as long as possible and thereby transferring as much energy as possible into the pitch, resulting in improved acceleration. In comparison with the first generation, the composition of the nylon sole has been made softer, which also increases the effect of the “Split-toe”. In addition, the sole is equipped with two torsion bars - one on the medial side to ensure rapid power transfer from toe to heel, as well as one on the lateral side of the sole to add extra stability. The conical shape and pattern of the studs is designed for rapid change of direction, to give you that extra fast reaction that enables you to find those small spaces as the defenders are approaching. A lateral stud on the forefoot delivers an aggressive grip to the pitch, to give you a quick toe-off and beat your opponent.
