Here are two pictures of this very interesting Nike Hypervenom III Prototype.
Released around 18 months after the second generation, the development of the Nike Hypervenom Phantom III started shortly after the launch of the Nike Hypervenom 2. Listening to the feedback players have given about he not-so popular Nike Hypervenom Phantom 2 boot which was therefore heavily updated during the lifespan of the cleats, it was crucial for the Swoosh that the Nike Hypervenom 3 would be perfect for players from the beginning.
This prototype of the Nike Hypervenom Phantom 3 reveals what under the NikeSkin upper that normally hides those elements. This is mainly the knitted Flyknit upper, while we also get a closer look at the Flywire strings. It is also interesting to note that these prototypes come without an external heel counter, in contrast to the final version.#
