All-New Nike Phantom Venom - Nike to Discontinue Hypervenom Boots
Jun 17, 2018, by Chris
Update: Three weeks ago, we revealed that Nike would discontinue the Nike Hypervenom Phantom football boots line. Now we we can reveal the name of Nike's all-new soccer cleat silo - Nike Phantom Venom. The first-ever Nike Phantom Venom football boot is set to be released in early 2019 - there won't be a fourth generation of the Nike Hypervenom.
Nike to Release All-New Nike Phantom Venom Football Boot Silo
We can exclusively reveal that Nike will ditch the Hypervenom with a new football boot silo in 2019.
The Nike Hypervenom Phantom football boot was introduced in 2013 by Brazilian superstar Neymar at an event in Rio de Janeiro. Made for ultimate agility, Nike has released three different generations of the Nike Hypervenom (Nike Hypervenom Phantom 1 - 2013, Nike Hypervenom Phantom II [+ an updated Hypervenom Phantom II with a different upper - 2016], Nike Hypervenom Phantom III - 2017) .
Nike to Replace Hypervenom Football Boots
There will be no fourth generation of the Nike Hypervenom Phantom soccer cleats.
Introduced in 2013, the first generation of the Nike Hypervenom Phantom football boot was an instant hit amongst footballers featuring a Flyknit upper. However, the second-gen, high-cut Nike Hypervenom Phantom II football boots were not as good as the first generation - Nike even had to change the upper during the lifespan of the second-gen Nike Hypervenom boot.
The current-gen Nike Hypervenom Phantom III was released in 2017. The silo was not anymore worn by Neymar, who switched back to his favorite silo (Mercurial) as he had problems with the Hypervenom boots.
There is no leaked info about Nike's all-new football boot that replaces the Hypervenom yet. It is expected that the new Nike silo will be again made for modern strikers, possibly with a bigger focus on the shoot aspect.

Deportivo Cali 1965 First Title Commemorative Kits Released
Colombian club Deportivo Cali and their technical sponsor Hillside have launched a special-edition capsule celebrating the club's historic first league championship won in 1965. The release consists of two retro-inspired jerseys — one in green and another in white — that pay tribute to the monumental title won over six decades ago.
Both shirts embrace a classic mid-60s aesthetic, anchored by an open polo-style collar. The green shirt features a contrasting white collar and cuffs, complemented by a tonal sublimated pattern of stripes, pennants, and historic club insignia across the fabric. In turn, the white version offers a clean, elegant look highlighted by rich emerald green trim. On the collar ribbing, knit detailing spells out "19 CAMPEÓN 65" in tribute to the landmark campaign.
Each jersey is adorned with a vintage Deportivo Cali crest topped by a single embroidered golden star representing that maiden triumph. Additional commemorative touches include a retro script Hillside graphic at the lower back and a stitched authentic crest patch near the hem displaying "Cali - Un Amor para toda la Vida 1912". The limited-edition pieces are delivered in custom collector's packaging alongside a certificate of authenticity.
