Compare Nike Hypervenom 2 - Nike Hypervenom Phantom II vs Phinish vs Phatal II DF vs Phelon II vs Phade II
Jun 4, 2015, by Pat
Released two weeks ago, the all-new Nike Hypervenom II Boots are still making the headlines, as Neymar is ready to give the new Nike Hypervenom Phantom 2 a run-out in the UEFA Champions League final this Saturday.
We are almost ready to move on, but first we want to give you the most in-depth comparison possible of all six versions that are available of the second generation of the Nike Hypervenom.
Nike Hypervenom Phantom II
With the Nike Hypervenom II, Nike introduces the Dynamic Fit collar, known from the Mercurial Superfly and Magista Obra boots, to the Hypervenom, bringing with it improved fit as well as the iconic look of the higher collar.
Additionally, the Nike Hypervenom Phantom II, available for 275 USD (275 Euro, 230 GBP), got a new textured NikeSkin upper with added Flywire strings in the midfoot part of the boot for increased stability and lockdown.
Nike Hypervenom Phinish
A new entry in the Nike Hypervenom family, the new Nike Hypervenom Phinish Boot is maybe the rightful heir to the first-generation Nike Hypervenom Cleats. The Nike Hypervenom Phinish comes with a traditional sockliner, as well as a textured NikeSkin upper with ACC and Flywire technologies for improved control under all conditions and a better lockdown of the feet.
The soleplate of the Hypervenom Phinish is identical to that of the first-generation Hypervenom in terms of construction and stud alignment, making it a safe choice for fans of the first generation.
Nike Hypervenom Phatal II
Available for 130 USD (110 Euro, 110 GBP), the Nike Hypervenom Phatal II is the first alternative to the Hypervenom Phinish. The Hypervenom Phatal II Boots come without NikeSkin or ACC, but still include Flywire strings in the midfoot area. A thicker upper material, called Mirage, is used for the Nike Hypervenom Phatal II Football Boots.
Nike Hypervenom Phatal II DF
Nike also revealed the all-new Nike Hypervenom Phatal II DF (Dynamic Fit) Boots, the first-ever Nike boots to include a Dynamic Fit collar for less than 200 USD. Other than the higher collar, the Nike Hypervenom Phatal II DF Cleat is technologically identical to the regular Nike Hypervenom Phatal II.
Nike Hypervenom Phelon II
The Nike Hypervenom Phelon II Boot retails at 75 USD (70 Euro, 60 GBP) and, while including the split-toe agility soleplate of the more high-end Nike Hypervenom Cleats, it does feature the thicker Trophy synthetic upper and does not include Flywire tech.
Nike Hypervenom Phade II
Retailing at just 55 USD (55 Euro, 45 GBP), the Nike Hypervenom Phade II Boot is the cheapest model of the Nike Hypervenom 2 Cleat line. The Hypervenom Phade II Boots come without most of the features of the editions leaning towards the higher end of the scale and is the only Nike Hypervenom 2 version that comes without the iconic split-toe sole plate.

The reunion brings a heavy dose of nostalgia for the Owls. Umbro previously supplied Sheffield Wednesday's kits during a highly successful period from 1984 to 1993, an era that included memorable cup runs and the club's historic 1991 League Cup triumph at Wembley Stadium.

The new Willem II home shirt was released today to celebrate the club's 130th anniversary. Made by new supplier Meyba, who replace Robey, the Willem II 2026-27 home kit will be worn in the Eredivisie.
The Meyba Willem II 2026-27 home jersey features the club's classic tricolor design with red, white, and blue vertical stripes. In a nod to the club's heritage and to keep the design as pure as possible for the 130-year milestone, the kit does not feature a main sponsor on the front.
This release marks the first kit produced by Meyba for the Dutch club following the announcement of their partnership in March 2026.
Bochum 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
The new VfL Bochum 2026-27 home and away kits were officially released today. Made by Mizuno, the new kits will be worn in the upcoming 2. Bundesliga campaign. The launch is centered around the theme "Du trägst es in dir" (You carry it inside you), celebrating the deep connection between the club, its crest, and the fans.
The Mizuno VfL Bochum 2026-27 home shirt features a gradient design transitioning from dark floodlight blue to royal blue. The focal point of the design is the club crest, which represents the heart of the team and connects generations of supporters.
The Mizuno VfL Bochum 2026-27 away shirt offers a contrasting look in light blue with a unique graphic design and a patterned collar.
