Nike to Unleash a Classic: The Hypervenom Phantom
First launched in 2013, the original Hypervenom Phantom turned heads with its aggressive design, razor-sharp agility, and deadly finishing — becoming the go-to boot for some of the game’s most lethal attackers, most notably, a fresh faced Neymar Jr, Robert Lewandowski, Wayne Rooney, and Harry Kane in their prime Hypervenom era.
Neymar Jr. was the face of the original Hypervenom launch in 2013 — and for good reason. His flair, unpredictability, and clinical finishing perfectly embodied the boot’s identity. From dazzling solo goals to iconic performances in Brazil’s yellow, Neymar made the Hypervenom a symbol of attacking genius on the world stage.
These boots weren’t just built for performance — they were a statement. Agile, sleek, and unapologetically bold, they let strikers do what they do best: terrorise defences.
