White / Black Nike Hypervenom Phinish 2016 K-Leather Boots Released
Feb 29, 2016, by Chris
The Light Bone and Black Nike Hypervenom Phinish 2016 Tech Craft Kangaroo Leather Soccer Cleats introduce a classy design for the third-ever edition of the Nike Hypervenom Phinish Leather Boots. They were officially released on February 29.
In August 2015, Nike revealed their first-ever leather editions for the Nike Hypervenom, Magista and Mercurial boots with the all-new Nike Tech Craft Pack. And while the US-giant since then also revealed a second edition of the Tech Craft Pack that boasts the colors Gold and Volt, the first Nike Tech Craft 2016 K-Leather Football Boot Collection brings a much more classy design to the cutting-edge leather boots.
Nike Hypervenom Phinish Football Boots - Light Bone / Black
This is the first Nike Hypervenom Phinish 2016 Kangaroo Leather Soccer Boot.
Combining the main colors Light Bone and Black, the third Nike Hypervenom Kangaroo Leather Boot is designed to be classy. The synthetic heel area of the black and white Nike Hypervenom Phinish Boots is classic black, while the extra layer of Kangaroo leather that is stitched on the touch area of the boots is 'Light Bone'. The tongue, the inner sole, the laces and the outsole of the shoes are black. Nike does it completely without colorful elements in order to not break up the perfect color scheme.
Based on the synthetic version of the Nike Hypervenom Phinish Boots, the Nike Hypervenom Phinish 2016 K-Leather Tech Craft Pack Edition offers the same features as the synthetic version, plus an extra-layer of Kangaroo leather in the forefoot area for even better ball control. The Nike Hypervenom Phinish K-Leather Boots also comes with the same agility sole plate as both the Nike Hypervenom Phantom and Nike Hypervenom Phinish.
The black and white Nike Hypervenom Phinish 2016 K-Leather Football Boots retail at the same price as all previous colorways of Nike's cutting-edge low-cut agility leather boots (225 Euro, 225 USD, 180 GBP) and is available from today in the Nike Football app and in two days from all retailers.
Instant classic. What do you think of the black and white Nike Hypervenom Phinish 2016 Kangaroo Leather Boots, part of Nike's first 2016 K-Leather Boots Pack? Let us know in the comments below.

Electrifying: Adidas Pokémon Megaride F50 "Pikachu" Shoes Released
As part of the Pokémon 30th anniversary collection, Adidas Originals has released an eye-catching hybrid sneaker that blends football heritage with retro running technology: the Pokémon x Adidas Megaride F50 "Pikachu". Merging the streamlined upper design inspired by the iconic 2004 F50 football boot with the open-tunnel bounce system of the 2000s Megaride runner, the pair pays direct homage to the franchise's most famous Electric-type Pokémon.
The sneaker features a predominantly black and dark carbon base energized by vibrant yellow accents. Striking yellow lightning bolt graphics surge across the upper with 3D haptic detailing, complemented by three sleek yellow stripes along the forefoot. At the rear, an embroidered Pikachu graphic sits on the heel counter just above a translucent yellow TPU plate, which flows smoothly into the distinctive yellow-accented Megaride cushioning pods.
Finished with collaborative Pokémon tongue badges and themed insoles, the Pokémon x Adidas Megaride F50 "Pikachu" officially dropped on September 24, 2026, with a retail price of $200. It is available through Adidas CONFIRMED and select retailers alongside other models from the milestone capsule.
Adidas Germany 2026 Farewell Kit Debuted on Pitch
Germany officially debuted their special edition Adidas farewell kit during their UEFA Nations League clash against the Netherlands. The release marks the final chapter of a legendary 72-year partnership between the German Football Association (DFB) and the Three Stripes, which began in 1954 and will officially come to an end on December 31, 2026, ahead of Nike taking over as technical supplier from 2027.
The tribute shirt features an elegant, predominantly black base decorated with vertical gold diamond pinstripes running down the front. Adidas has opted for the heritage Trefoil logo on the right chest alongside the classic DFB crest used between 1978 and 1996, both rendered in white. A retro-inspired crossover V-neck collar is trimmed in white and gold, mirrored on the sleeve cuffs, while a commemorative "1954" jock tag sits on the bottom hem to honor the historic year the partnership began.
Completed with black shorts and black socks featuring gold detailing, the on-pitch ensemble arrived just days after its official unveiling. Following its high-profile match debut, the Germany 2026 farewell jersey is scheduled to go on general sale via official Adidas channels starting September 26, 2026.
