Once worn by the deadliest names in football, the Hypervenom Phantom is reborn with the same killer instincts and a sharper edge. Back from the archives and ready to cause chaos once more, this player-favourite boot returns in its most iconic colourway, bringing 2013 energy into the modern game. Bright Citrus and black tones collide on that unmistakable honeycomb-textured upper, rebuilt with NikeSkin for a sharper touch and all-conditions control.
This limited edition rework pays tribute to the disruptive spirit of the original Hypervenom Phantom I, the boot that replaced the Total 90 and reshaped attacking football. Built for razor-sharp agility and lethal precision in the box, it became the weapon of choice for names like Neymar Jr., Rooney, Kane and Lewandowski. Over a decade later, the DNA remains but the underfoot experience evolves. Nike bolts on the Hypervenom III plate for responsive traction, bringing in modern stability with forefoot flexibility and that signature snap when breaking off the line.
ACC or All Conditions Control is back on the tongue, as well as a new ankle liner which replaces the old smooth leather with a new near-nubuck feel for extra traction. While some keen eyed football fanatics might be against the new suede liner, an update that foregoes the usual circular cut outs, Nike has argued that this will prevent any forefoot area slips thanks to extra rigidity.
With the skull and crossbones insignia at the heel and the reversed Swoosh still intact, this is a boot that stays true to its roots while embracing the future. Dropping on the 29th of May for £230 via the Nike SNKRS app as well as Pro Direct Sport, find out where to buy the Nike Hypervenom Phantom RGN SE "Bright Citrus" by keeping it locked to The Sole Supplier!
