Hypervenom II- perfection evolves!

The saying “if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it”  does not apply here, for while the Hypervenom was a superb boot in every way, Nike adopt the ethos that there is always room for improvement- perfection evolves.The flywire cables combined with the Dynamic Fit collar wrap the foot to create a supportive, locked-down feel. They are built on an anatomically correct contoured speed atlast creating a glove-like fit for maximum agility.

The Any Condition Control (ACC) technology provides consistent ball control in both wet and dry conditions and the detachable aluminium  studs come in 2 lengths for customised traction meaning you can always dominate, no matter the state of the pitch.  A shortened lace area creates a larger strike zone to give the purest contact with the ball to ensure that strikes stay true and find their target. Inside the boot, a moulded sock liner cushions the front to help reduce pressure from the studs, increasing comfort and reducing distractions, leaving you free to stay focused on the game.
A nylon chassis with a Pebax  base supports while retaining a responsive feel and the split-toe-plate design serves to further improve agility.
