Black / Red 'Inverse' Nike Phantom Venom Boots Released - No High-End Version
Feb 1, 2019, by Pat
In addition to the orange colorway, Nike has released an alternative paint job for the Phantom Venom. Interestingly, this 'inverse' look is limited to the lowly 'Academy' takedown model.
Basically reverting the color scheme found on the debut colorway, the current pictures depict the 'Academy' takedown version, but it's not unlikely that they'll also be released in the 'Elite' tier. Either way, we expect them to drop shortly, either this month or next.

Reverting the 'bright crimson / black' color scheme of the debut look, these new Phantom Venom cleats are predominantly black with bright red accents, including the sole plate, the side Swoosh, the upper texture and the collar lining.
