Here's Nike Full 2018 World Cup Boot Lineup - Nike Changes Boot Silo Tier Names Of Hypervenom, Magista, Mercurial & Tiempo

Traditionally, Nike takedown cleats had their own names and generation numbers, which can sometimes be very confusing. This was not aided by the addition and removal of several takedown options, in part due to the emergence of the Dynamic Fit collar.
From February 2018, all Nike boots will carry the full name of the top model of the silo, followed by a suffix specifying the type of takedown. Following is an overview about how this will play out across Nike's four silos.
Nike Mercurial Superfly VI

Nike Hypervenom Phantom III DF
| Current name | New name | Price (approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Hypervenom Phantom III DF | Hypervenom Phantom III DF Elite | 290 EUR |
| Hypervenom Phatal III DF | Hypervenom Phantom III DF Pro | 170 EUR |

Nike Hypervenom Phantom III

| Hypervenom Phelon III | Hypervenom Phantom III Academy | 75 EUR |
| Hypervenom Phade III | Hypervenom Phantom III Club | 55 EUR |
The Nike Hypervenom Phantom III DF and Phantom III lines were renamed accordingly.
Nike Tiempo Legend VII
| Current name | New name | Price |

| Tiempo Legacy III | Tiempo Legend VII Pro | 130 EUR |
| Tiempo Ligera IV | Tiempo Legend VII Academy | 65 EUR |
| Tiempo Rio IV | Tiempo Legend VII Club | 50 EUR |
Not a boot to receive a generation update in the World Cup year, the Nike Tiempo soccer cleat models are renamed nonetheless. The top model will be known as Nike Tiempo Legend VII Elite.
In addition to this, the current FootballX models will be adjusted to match the respective cleated boots. The Proximo, Finale etc. nomenclature is dropped. An example would be Nike Mercurial SuperflyX VI instead of Nike MercurialX Proximo III.
