Nike Hypervenom Phantom II Prototype Boots Revealed
May 21, 2015, by Chris
Designed for deadly agility. Nike today revealed some of the prototypes of the next-gen Nike Hypervenom Phantom 2 Soccer Cleats, which offer us a rare insight into the design process of the revolutionary Nike Hypervenom II Football Boots. Here are six prototypes of the Nike Hypervenom Phantom 2 Cleats.
“Much like the players we design for, we’re constantly pushing the parameters of what’s possible. We are relentless innovators.” – Nathan VanHook, Senior Design Director for Nike Football Footwear.
Nike Hypervenom Phantom 2 2015 Boots Prototypes
Nike Hypervenom Phantom Prototype with first-gen upper and Dynamic Fit collar.
The next-gen Nike Hypervenom Boots bring the Dynamic Fit collar to the popular agility boot, and it is only logical that Nike experimented with various different collar iterations after various Nike Mercurial and Magista players opted out for the traditional low-cut version of the Nike Hypervenom. It now looks like that Wayne Rooney will be the only high-profile athlete to wear the low-cut Nike Hypervenom Phinish Boots.
“The Dynamic Fit Collar hadn’t been introduced yet when the first Hypervenom came out. We experimented with a variety of collar iterations, ultimately designing a new Dynamic Fit Collar with seam placement off the tendon for enhanced comfort and no distractions.” – Phil Woodman
In the beginning of the Nike Hypervenom Phantom Boot Prototypes Nike combines the upper of the first-gen Nike Hypervenom with the revolutionary Dynamic Fit collar. The first prototypes of the Nike Hypervenom Phantom 2 Cleats are a Hypervenom Phantom I with an attached sockliner.
The second main focus of the Nike Hypervenom Phantom II Boots are the new Nike Flywire strings in the midfoot area, designed for increased stability.
“Players loved the original Hypervenom, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do even better. We’re not afraid to make as many changes as the boot needs to be the best. The kind of players who wear Hypervenom would expect nothing less.” – Max Blau, VP of Nike Football Footwear.
Although Nike also developed a new upper with a remarkable stitching in the forefoot area, Nike did not show off a prototype featuring the new NikeSkin upper material. However, the US-giant also showed off their dummy foot model.
Even though the Nike Hypervenom Phantom I Boots has proved to be popular among professionals and amateurs, Nike has made many changes to bring the Nike Hypervenom to the next level.

Brusque 2026 Pink October Kit Released
Brazilian club Brusque FC and kit manufacturer Junpe have officially unveiled a special commemorative jersey for Outubro Rosa (Pink October). Designed to raise awareness for breast cancer prevention and encourage women's health checkups, the release continues the club's tradition of dedicated awareness kits for the month of October.
The shirt combines two tones of pink, featuring an eye-catching chevron graphic across the chest over an intricate sublimated fabric texture. Bold black detailing provides strong contrast on the thick ribbed V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs, as well as on all sponsor prints and the Junpe manufacturer logo. The club's traditional yellow, green, and red crest sits in full color on the left breast, topped by three stars.
A bespoke circular seal appears on the lower front with the campaign motto "Jogue pela vida! Cuide de você - Um toque pode virar o jogo" (Play for life! Take care of yourself - One touch can turn the game around), drawing a direct parallel between the sport and the importance of self-examination. The limited-edition jersey is sold through the club's official retail space next to the Augusto Bauer stadium.
Stunning Kashima Antlers 26-27 35th Anniversary Kit Released

The Nike Kashima Antlers 26-27 35th anniversary shirt boasts an elegant two-tone dark navy half-and-half design inspired by the night scenery of Kashima Bay. Breaking away from the club's standard colors, the kit applies full gold detailing throughout, highlighted by the club's first-ever matte gold crest featuring a commemorative 1991/2026 engraving. All sponsor marks, the Nike Swoosh, and the sleeve badge are finished in matching metallic gold.
Navy shorts and socks with gold accents round off the sophisticated look. Fans can customize the kit with gold printing in either Nike's current 26-27 squad font or a recreated version of the club's original 1990s founding-era typography, with Zico's legendary number 10 among the selections. Kashima Antlers are scheduled to wear the special uniform on December 19, 2026, against Tokyo Verdy at MUFG Stadium (Japan National Stadium).
