Éli Junior Kroupi Trains in Nike Hypervenom 'Transform Hydra' Remake for France Debut
AFC Bournemouth forward Éli Junior Kroupi turned heads during his first senior France training camp at Clairefontaine by sporting an iconic pair of Nike boots. Following his maiden call-up to Les Bleus to replace the injured Marcus Thuram, the 20-year-old took to the pitch in the limited-edition Nike Hypervenom Phantom 1 RGN Transform "Hydra". Thanks to @DegaineSo.
Released in 2025 as a modern nod to the 2015 Transform concept, the "Hydra" edition boasts a specialized water-activated upper. Under dry conditions, the boot displays a subtle pale grey surface, but once in contact with moisture or water on the pitch, it transforms to reveal a vivid blue honeycomb graphic underneath. The remake blends the beloved first-generation NikeSkin upper with the aggressive HyperReactive soleplate taken from the Hypervenom 3.
Kroupi's boot choice mirrors that of his international teammate Michael Olise, who has famously continued to wear vintage Hypervenom boots at both club and international levels. With Nike widely reported to be preparing a full relaunch of the Hypervenom line in 2027, seeing another rising French star champion the classic silo only adds to the excitement surrounding its return.
Sampdoria's Tjaš Begić Laces Up Classic Nike Mercurial Vapor 12 'Euphoria'
Sampdoria winger Tjaš Begić caught the eye of boot enthusiasts recently after ditching current-generation footwear in favor of a modern classic: the Nike Mercurial Vapor 12 Elite from the 2019 'Euphoria Mode' pack. The pair was sourced for the 21-year-old Slovenian attacker by French boot retailer shoptcrampons.
Originally released by Nike in April 2019 as the brand's key collection for the decisive final stages of the 18-19 season, the Euphoria Mode Vapor 12 is defined by a distinctive spray-paint gradient blending vivid 'Hyper Crimson' into a crisp white base, framed by bold black Swooshes. The colorway was headlined by star athletes such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé, and Eden Hazard back in the day.
Begić is the latest pro to look back to late-2010s football boots rather than staying with the newest releases. The Mercurial Vapor 12 remains widely praised among players for its 360-degree Flyknit construction, responsive two-piece podular soleplate, and snug anatomical fit, standing as one of the most celebrated generations of the speed silo.

FC Juárez Goalkeeper Benny Díaz Spotted in 2014 Nike Mercurial Vapor 10 Boots
FC Juárez goalkeeper Benny Díaz was spotted wearing a pair of classic 2014 Nike Mercurial Vapor X boots during recent Liga MX action, as highlighted by football boot spotters @abcdefutbol. Remarkably, the Mexican-American goalkeeper's boots look almost brand new despite being released over a decade ago.
The pair worn by Díaz features the vivid Electric Green, Hyper Punch, and Black colorway that Nike launched in August 2014 ahead of the 14-15 campaign. Released alongside the high-cut Flyknit Superfly IV around the 2014 World Cup era, the tenth-generation Mercurial Vapor delivered a streamlined low-cut build that became an instant favorite among professionals and boot purists.
Unlike the knitted Superfly, the Vapor X was renowned for its ultra-thin, tongue-less Teijin synthetic upper, MicroControl texturing, and compressed nylon soleplate. While modern Mercurials now utilize Gripknit and Air Zoom units, the 2014 Vapor X is still widely considered one of the pinnacle synthetic speed boots, making Díaz's pristine retro pair a welcome sight on the pitch.
