You Have Voted For The New Nike Hypervenom Cover Star - Here Are The Results
Update #2: Almost 7,000 have voted for their new Nike Hypervenom cover star. Since we started the vote it already emerged that Lewandowski will almost certain become the new Nike Hypervenom cover athlete, and Lewandowski is also your favorite with more than half of the votes. Interestingly, BVB's Aubameyang has been the second most popular choice with 22%, while all other players could not get more than 5%, respectively.
Lewandowski is Your Favorite New Nike Hypervenom Face
Update: With Neymar's switch to the Mercurial official, we now ask you who do you think will become the new face of Nike's agility silo - or shouldn't there be no main face at all but several cover athletes, as it's the case with the Nike Tiempo?
Who Should Become The New Face of The Nike Hypervenom Boot
With Neymar switching back to the Nike Mercurial boots in 2017, the question arises who will become the new face of Nike's agility boot. And while it is not certain yet when exactly Neymar will switch to the Mercurial (most likely with the launch of the next-gen Nike Hypervenom Phantom III), we already forecast who will be the new main face of the soccer cleat.
There was a similar case in 2015 when FC Barcelona midfielder and Nike Magista cover athlete Iniesta switched to the low-cut Nike Magista cleats after he launched the all-new high-cut control silo ahead of the 2014 World Cup. Back then, Nike reacted quickly with Mario Götze becoming the new face of the Nike Magista cleats.
Will There Be a New Nike Hypervenom Cover Athlete At All?
We think that it is most likely that Lewandowski will become the new cover athlete of the Nike Hypervenom.
A search using Football Boots DB reveals that the choice is not extremely extensive but offers several player who would be a good replacement, even though nobody reaches the popularity of Neymar. The most important high-profile players who wear the Nike Hypervenom Phantom II boots are Lewandowski, Aubameyang, Cavani, Chamberlain and Danny Welbeck, while Rooney and Kane opt for the low-cut Nike Hypervenom Phinish and are therefore no good cover stars for the boot.
Robert Lewandowski is likely the best player wearing the Nike Hypervenom boot featuring the Dynamic Fit collar, and he would be anything but a poor replacement. However, as he is not as popular as Neymar, it is also well possible that there won't be a new main face but several cover athletes promoting the Nike Hypervenom, as it's the case with the Nike Tiempo.
Who do you think is the best replacement for Neymar? Let us know in the comments below.

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.
