With the release of a completely new model from Nike Phantom Venom, a lot of questions have been raised. We will try to answer some of them in this article.

Elite model Phantom Venom Elite – price about €200

  • The hi-tech Nike Flyknit coating material is breathable, durable and elastic. Seamless upper construction made of solid material. 
  • Lacing through brionity Flywire the soles attached to the base perfectly fix the foot. They move along with the coating and dynamically adapt to the movement of the foot.
  • Asymmetrically positioned lacing increases the area of interaction of the ball with the boot. The Flyknit detail covers part of the lacing to form a uniform surface.
  • The area on the inner surface of the foot with the interweaving of polyurethane parts is designed for twisting the ball and powerful knuckleballs.
  • A honeycomb-shaped micro texture covers the entire upper of the shoe for improved control.
  • The Nike All Conditions Control (ACC) system allows you to control the ball equally well regardless of weather conditions.
  • A specially formed tongue wraps and holds the foot, while the NikeGrip system on the insole does not allow the foot to slip inside the boots.
  • The sole with the HyperReactive system is formed for the most productive grip with the coating and allows you to maneuver comfortably and change directions.
  • Round spikes in the form of hexagons and V-shaped form a system that allows for sharp lateral displacements and gives phenomenal stability on the coating.

Pro model Phantom Venom Pro – price about €120

  • The ultra elastic NikeSkin coating has all the advantages of genuine leather but is extremely unpretentious to care for.
  • Lacing through brionity Flywire soles attached to the base perfectly fix the foot. They move along with the coating and dynamically adapt to the movement of the foot.
  • The section with polyurethane longitudinal blades is introduced into the design using a separate part. His presence guarantees a high-quality twist of the ball and more likely knuckleballs.
  • A honeycomb-shaped micro texture covers the entire upper of the shoe for improved control.
  • Asymmetrically positioned lacing increases the area of interaction of the ball with the boot. The Flyknit detail covers part of the lacing to form a uniform surface.
