Jun 2, 2015, by Chris
The new Nike Hypervenom Phatal 2 Dynamic Fit Collar Cleats are the first cheaper Nike football boots with a Dynamic Fit collar. We take a detailed look at the differences between the totally-new Nike Hypervenom Phantom 2 and the Nike Hypervenom Phatal 2 DF, both released in late May 2015.
Nike Hypervenom Phantom II vs Nike Hypervenom Phatal II DF (Dynamic Fit collar)
Move the slider to directly compare the new Nike Hypervenom Phantom II vs the Nike Hypervenom Phatal II DF.
The biggest differences between the Nike Hypervenom Phantom 2 and the Nike Hypervenom Phatal 2 DF are the upper, the visual design and the retail price.
The Nike Hypervenom Phantom II is the best version of the next-gen Nike Hypervenom 2015 Boots featuring a Dynamic Fit collar with a NikeSkin upper. Introduced in 2013 for the first-generation of the Nike Hypervenom Phantom, NikeSkin is a super soft and flexible upper material for a barefoot like ball feel.
The Nike Hypervenom Phatal 2 DF Cleats feature no NikeSkin, but instead a synthetic material with webbing. The synthetic material used for the Nike Hypervenom Phatal II Dynamic Fit collar Soccer Shoes is much thicker than the more advanced NikeSkin material.
While the Nike Hypervenom Phantom II Boots are equipped with All Conditions Control technology and Flywire strings for more stability, the Nike Hypervenom Phatal II Boots do not feature Nike's best technologies.
Interestingly, both versions of the next-gen Nike Hypervenom 2 Boots feature the same sole plate. However, the Nike Hypervenom Phantom 2 outsole boasts a striking graphic pattern, whereas the Nike Hypervenom Phatal II features a solid orange outsole.
Overview - Hypervenom Phantom 2 vs Hypervenom Phatal 2 Dynamic Fit
To sum it up, the new Nike Hypervenom Phatal 2 DF Boots, while including the Dynamic Fit collar, lack many of the key technologies utilized in the high-end Nike Hypervenom Phantom II. Nevertheless, the Hypervenom Phatal Dynamic Fit Cleats are a serious alternative for those who don't want to spend that much on a football boot.
