No Flywire and Lower Dynamic Fit Collar: Neymar To Debut Custom Nike Hypervenom 2 Boots

Neymar is set to debut custom Nike Hypervenom II Boots in this weekend's FC Barcelona match against Deportivo La Coruña, the last of the league season.

Update (23/05/15): Neymar in the end did not switch to the new Nike Hypervenom 2 Boots for the match and instead laced up in the volt / purple Nike Hypervenom first-generation boots.

Neymar is the headline player for Nike's Hypervenom silo, with the second-generation Nike Hypervenom 2 Boots launched this Thursday at Barcelona's Camp Nou stadium.

As we reported back in March, Neymar received a special Nike Hypervenom Phantom II Boot, which comes with a different soleplate, without Flywire and with a lower Dynamic Fit collar. Today, Neymar gave us a first look at how the custom Neymar Hypervenom Soccer Cleats look with the regular Wolf Grey Nike Hypervenom paint job on.

The upper of Neymar's custom Nike Hypervenom 2 Cleats boasts a very clean look compared to the regular version, which features Flywire strings in the midfoot area as well as a fragmented surface in the front area.

While the soleplate of the Nike Hypervenom Phantom II Boots remained almost unchanged from that of the initial Hypervenom, Neymar again opted for a custom soleplate based on the Nike Tiempo Legend IV, released in 2011.

Last but not least, Neymar's custom Nike Hypervenom 2 Football Boots come with a lower Dynamic Fit collar than the retail version. In a similar move, Nike last year famously designed special Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots for Cristiano Ronaldo.

And with many professionals still doubtful over the higher cut, expect a lot to opt for the Nike Hypervenom Phinish, which features a traditional sockliner, instead of the Phantom. In fact, famous Nike Hypervenom athletes like Pedro, Kane and Rooney already chose the Nike Hypervenom Phinish.
