This image shows the fist 2016-2017 colorway for the Nike Hypervenom Phantom II soccer cleats.
Predominantly light grey, the new Nike Hypervenom Phantom II soccer boots combine this understated base with eye-catching trim in lime green, while the iconic zig-zag design on the outside of the shoes is silver with a black splatter pattern. The tongue area and collar of the Pure Platinum Nike Hypervenom Phantom 2 2016 boots is grey.
Tech-wise, the Platinum Nike Hypervenom Phantom II boots boast a tongue-less construction with a heightened Flyknit collar, while the thin NikeSkin upper features a honeycomb-like structure and is designed to ease the break-in period and provide a flexible and responsive feel.
Set to be available from August 16 2016, the light grey Nike Hypervenom Phantom boots retail at 275 USD (275 Euro, 230 GBP). The same colorway will also be launched for the Nike Hypervenom Phinish football boot model which features a more traditional approach without a heightened collar.

MLS Players Wear Their National Flags on Kits Ahead of 2026 World Cup
Major League Soccer last weekend hosted a dedicated "Farewell Week" to send off its international stars. To mark the occasion, all clubs across the domestic league took to the pitch wearing specially customized kits that honored the various nations represented within their squads.
The most prominent visual update to the MLS uniforms was the addition of official national flags printed directly on the chest for all players and coaching staff. In a highly thoughtful and personalized touch, the league provided specialized double-flag variations for athletes holding dual citizenship. This bespoke detail allowed these specific players to proudly represent both their current homelands and their heritage simultaneously before joining their respective national team camps.
Beyond the chest graphics, teams also sported a unique set of squad numbers on the back of their shirts, featuring a custom pattern made up of the flags of all 48 countries participating in this summer's World Cup.
What do you think of this customized flag concept for the MLS World Cup Farewell Week? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

The five-season deal is the most significant technical partnership in the club's history and includes plans for a new merchandising line for supporters.

Founded in 1947, the Wrocław-based club has won two Polish league titles, two Polish Cups, and one Super Cup, with experience in European competitions. Macron is developing bespoke game sets that will be revealed before the start of the new season.
The partnership bolsters Macron's presence in Polish football alongside existing deals with Lech Poznań, Widzew Łódź, and GKS Katowice.
