In a way, the second generation of the Hypervenom was overshadowed by the controversy surrounding the redesigned upper, which was deemed as too stiff and requiring too long to break in by many. This was only confirmed when Neymar, the most important player wearing the model, received camouflaged boots - based on the Mercurial but disguised to look like the Hypervenom.

In time for the Euros, Nike corrected the error and reverted to the popular upper of the first generation. The upcoming Nike Hypervenom Phantom III will be the first in the history of the silo to feature a fully knitted upper.

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.
