Nike To Discontinue Nike Hypervenom Phinish Boots
Nike will ditch one version of the Nike Hypervenom football boot silo with the launch of the next-gen Nike Hypervenom III. There will be 'just' four different Hypervenom versions from 2017 (Phantom, Phatal, Phelon, Phade)...
Nike to Release No More Nike Hypervenom Phinish Boots
These are the six different models of the second-gen Nike Hypervenom.
After Nike launched the second-gen Nike Hypervenom soccer boot, the brand not only introduced the Dynamic Fit collar to the silo, but also introduced a new Hypervenom model. Whereas the high-cut Nike Hypervenom boot was known as Nike Hypervenom Phantom 2, the low-cut but cutting-edge Nike Hypervenom II football shoe was renamed as Nike Hypervenom Phinish to distinguish both boots.
However, as players were quite irritated as the Hypervenom Phinish was actually the proceeder of the Nike Hypervenom Phantom I and as both boots are actually the same apart from the collar, the Swoosh decided to rebrand the boots again. So from 2017, the high-cut Nike Hypervenom top model will be known as 'Nike Hypervenom Phantom III DF (Dynamic Fit collar)', while the low-cut Nike Hypervenom top model returns to its original name (Nike Hypervenom Phantom III).

Do you think it's better to promote the cutting-edge low-cut Nike Hypervenom boot as Nike Hypervenom Phantom and not as Hypervenom Phinish? Let us know in the comments section below.

Stunning Fortuna Köln 2026 Regional Cup Final Kit Released
German side SC Fortuna Köln has released a highly limited special-edition kit to wear during their upcoming 2026 Mittelrheinpokal final. Produced by Dutch sportswear brand Robey, this exclusive release celebrates the club's first appearance in the regional cup final in six years, as they look to secure the trophy for the first time in 13 years.
The Robey SC Fortuna Köln 2026 Cup Final shirt introduces a striking tri-color gradient design that provides a highly bespoke look for the occasion. The top of the jersey begins in a deep navy blue, smoothly fading into a vibrant light blue chest band before transitioning into a clean white lower half.
Adding a premium, historic touch to the kit, all application details - including the Robey manufacturer branding, the central 'HIT' sponsor, and a classic standalone 'F' retro crest - are executed in metallic gold. A subtle light blue V-neck collar and matching sleeve cuffs complete the sophisticated aesthetic.
Priced at €75, this exclusive release serves as a unique collector's item for supporters of the Regionalliga West side. Curiously, while releasing this kit, the club has actively pushed an "All in Red" (Alle in Rot) motto for the fans attending the match, asking supporters to create a sea of red in the stands despite the team wearing their special-edition colors on the pitch.

Aston Villa to Wear Third Kit with Charity Sponsor in Europa League Final
Aston Villa has officially confirmed they will wear their 2025-2026 Adidas third kit for the upcoming UEFA Europa League Final against SC Freiburg in Istanbul.
The decision was made due to a direct kit clash with the German side's traditional all-red home strip, forcing the Premier League club out of their iconic claret and blue. Furthermore, due to strict betting licensing regulations in Turkey, the club's principal partner, Betano, cannot be legally displayed on the jerseys. In response, the space is used by the Aston Villa Foundation for the historic showpiece event.
This special-edition jersey also features the Aston Villa Foundation branding across the chest in matching purple typography, sitting just below a commemorative Match ID text that marks the May 20 final at Besiktas Park.
Recognizing the historical significance of this unique uniform, the club is making the charity edition available to the public. Supporters can purchase these limited-edition shirts, complete with the foundation branding and central match details, in both authentic and replica versions from official club stores.
This rare combination of an alternate kit, a one-off charity sponsor, and European final detailing instantly makes this release a highly sought-after piece for shirt collectors.
