The Nike Portugal Era Comes to an End - Full Nike Portugal Kit History

Michael Olise has once again caught the attention of boot enthusiasts by wearing a pair of custom mint green Nike Hypervenom Phantom III boots during France vs Norway.

The striking mint green colorway was specifically chosen to perfectly match the accents of the France away kit.

This recent choice highlights Olise's distinct habit of meticulously coordinating his football boots with his team's kits. Operating without a boot sponsorship deal, the winger has the freedom to select his footwear based entirely on aesthetics rather than contractual obligations. He frequently sources old or custom pairs of his favorite Nike Hypervenom Phantom III boots, ensuring perfect color coordination with his club and country uniforms.

His dedication to this matching aesthetic has become a signature part of his on-pitch style. By prioritizing visual harmony between his boots and kits, Olise stands out in an era where most top-level players are tied to strict brand sponsorships and colorway mandates.

The modifications, carried out by customizer Emilio Street Shoes, bring a stylish update to the classic silo. The official 2026 FIFA World Cup logo is printed in gold on the heel area. The boots also feature golden thread detailing along the sides, complementing the traditional white Three Stripes and adding a premium touch to the historic design.
