NIKE 'SPARK BRILLIANCE' PACK

With the summer descending at blistering pace, Nike have launched the Spark Brilliance Pack with the all new Mercurial front and centre. Previously showcased at Nike's 'Innovation For Everybody' event in New York, this is a boot dedicated to speed with every corner. Ruthless engineering with an off the wall aesthetic, there's so much pace from the pack.

Stealing the show with the Champions League Final and EURO 2016 calling, the new Mercurial Superfly V is a feat of design. Inspired by those qualities of the enigmatic, Mercurial player, it's no surprise that Mr. Mercurial himself, Cristiano Ronaldo, is used to personify these boots.

Under the hood, it's about tailored engineering as the anatomical plate is aligned with the natural contours of the foot, eliminating the gap that previously existed underfoot. Additionally, the boot's soleplate is 40% lighter than the carbon fiber plate it replaces, yet is stronger and more responsive. The traction system has also been revamped for speed. Nike’s design team tested different variations of cleats, blades, chevrons and other shapes in a variety of traction patterns. For the first time, Nike Football leveraged virtual Finite Element Analysis (FEA) testing, which provided scientific data to identify which traction pattern works best for the speed-focused player, inclusive of linear sprints.

Nike Football Design Lead Jeongwoo Lee outlines the objective with the new Mercurial. “Our approach with the new Mercurial was to challenge all assumptions about speed, merging science with design to build the fastest boot in football. We designed this boot holistically to ensure it was a true speed system, where all of the materials interlock to produce the most efficient package possible.”

The Nike Spark Brilliance Pack also marks the return of the original Hypervenom I NikeSkin upper on the HyperVenom II silhouette. Flair and colour not in short supply, this pack isn't about simply lighting up the party it's about creating fresh thinking and individual brilliance. An inspired collection that goes the distance in offering the perfect wheels. All that's left is for the driver to take 'em to the pitch and let rip.
Completing the pack are the Magista and Tiempo with their all out attacking tones of vibrancy. No doubts they'll be noticed all over the pitch in a matter of days.

Nike Hypervenom Phantom II Euro 2016 Boots Released

Nike has prepared a stunning Nike Hypervenom Phantom II for Euro 2016, combining a striking yellow base with a black and turquoise gradient upper design. The bold Nike Hypervenom Phantom 2 Spark Brilliance soccer cleats will be available to buy from May 29 and are the first-ever second-generation Nike Hypervenom boots to bring back the iconic, old, honeycomb-like upper.
Nike unveiled the second generation of the Nike Hypervenom football boots in May 2015, adding a heightened collar to the agility cleats for the very first time. The likes of Robert Lewandowski, Jamie Vardy and Edinson Cavani will sport the yellow Nike Hypervenom Phantom 2016 boots at Euro 2016 and Copa America Centenario, respectively.

NIKE HYPERVENOM PHANTOM II EURO 2016 - VOLT / BLACK / HYPER TURQUOISE / CLEAR JADE

This is the extremly bold Nike Hypervenom Phantom 2 Spark Brilliance soccer boot for Euro 2016 and Copa America 2016 From Procorner.co.uk

Combining the main color Volt with black brandings, the flamboyant Nike Hypervenom Phantom 2 Euro 2016 boots feature a unique and unprecedented color gradient on the graphic print on the outside and outsole. The gradient visible on the Nike Hypervenom Copa America 2016 cleats fades from Volt at the back to turquoise at the front.
The Volt Nike Hypervenom Phantom Copa and Euro 2016 boots are the first to return to the first-generation upper, a design that was already spotted on the feet of players such as Ross Barkley and Robert Lewandowski.
“The upper of the Hypervenom II takes a bit longer to break-in than the Hypervenom I,” says Max Blau, VP Nike Football Footwear. “We provide new boots to our professional players so frequently that we shifted to the Hypervenom I material to ease the break-in period. We want all players to have what the best players in the world are wearing, so we are bringing the Hypervenom I upper back,” he concludes.

Other than that, the technologies used for the yellow Nike Hypervenom Phantom Spark Brilliance soccer cleats are identical to what has been used in all previous colorways of the second-generation Hypervenom cleats. Combining a high-cut Dynamic Fit collar with a tongue-less upper construction, the Nike Hypervenom Phantom II football boots also include Flywire strings that are applied to the NikeSkin upper for improved lockdown and a sock-like fit.

Spectacular Adidas Ace 16+ Primeknit Kids Boots Leaked

The spectacular "Silver Metallic" Euro 2016 colorway will mark the first-ever launch for the kids version of the Adidas Ace 16+ Primeknit soccer boots.

ADIDAS ACE 16+ PRIMEKNIT JUNIOR - SILVER METALLIC / CORE BLACK / SOLAR YELLOW

This is the all-new Adidas Ace 16+ Primeknit kids football boot.

In line with the other boots from Adidas' Copa America and Euro 2016 collection, the new Adidas Ace 16+ Primeknit Junior cleats are coated in a striking silver, combined with "Solar Yellow" here. The lateral Adidas stripes of the Silver Metallic Adidas Ace 16+ Primeknit kids boots boast a gradient from silver to black, while the sole plate comes with a bold metallic finish that really stands out.

However, it is the tech features that really make this boot special. They have a Primeknit upper and heightened collar, just like the adult's version. The included Adidas NSG (non-stop grip) texture aims to improve ball control and touch.
What's most interesting though, is the sole plate. Instead of utilizing the regular Adidas Ace 16 plate, it is in fact that of the second-gen Adidas X 16. A truly intriguing combination that perhaps could make its way to a later "SL" (super light) rendition of the Adidas Ace 16.

Up Close – Nike Hypervenom Phantom “Radiant Reveal”

The latest pack released from Nike focuses on summer colors, allowing players to shine as nights get brighter and there are more hours to play. As part of the new Radiant Reveal Pack, the New Nike Hypervenom Phantom is a boot that stands out immediately. Featuring a clean white upper base and a rainbow pattern along the side of the boot, these are intended to shine in all conditions.

First impression, these boots are a lot better looking in person than expected. There is a serious amount of visual pop across the lateral side, as the white upper clashes with a rainbow style “mixed yellow-through-orange-through-pink” side panel palette.
Along with the tagline “Deceptive by Nature“, Nike introduced the second generation Hypervenom last June. This version features a much more specific purpose, with a plethora of dynamic pieces to improve performance for attack minded players. For example, Nike decided to provide a sense of enhanced fit and support around the ankle line of the Hypervenom II with the inclusion of a mid-cut collar. Nike Flywire was then added through the upper in an effort to secure the foot down against the soleplate. The concept is simple;  provide a locked down feel while ensuring your foot moves symbiotically with the boot.

Across the upper of the Cheap Nike Hypervenom Phantom Radiant Reveal Football Boots, definition is extremely evident as cross tailored lines allow the material and its structure to move more in unison with your movements. It is almost like strips of paper mache layered in an obscure pattern without reason. But it does serve a purpose, with better fit and a more responsive feel on the ball.

Nike has also transitioned to an off center heel cut on the mid-cut collar as opposed to the straight line cut found on the Superfly and Magista Obra. The purpose of this asymmetric cut is to free any tension on the Achilles tendon. We all have different experiences with a boot, but this was an area I didn’t enjoy quite as much due to fact it caused “tiredness” through the region.
Everything about these boots is geared toward attack natured players, those that like to make quick turns and use reactionary movement as part of their game. As a result, the soleplate of Hypervenom II is comprised of a softer compound than the original for added comfort. The split-toe design and agility traction pattern unleash a quick response for sudden changes of direction.

In terms of appearance, The new Nike Hypervenom Phantom Football boots is the sole where things get really wild visually, and although it is not a feature prominently noticed as you play, it is always nice to offer the defender chasing you something to look at! It is all about the wild color effect that seems to run through the colors of the rainbow. Coupled with the same black broken glass graphic we have seen through the Hypervenom II series and it offers a wild visual. The latter does come with a warning from Nike, as the black graphic aesthetic element will wear off during play, without affecting performance of course.

Bold Nike Tiempo Legend 6 2016 Boots Leaked

This boot is anything but classic. The white, purple, green and blue Nike Tiempo Legend 6 2016 Women's Boot introduces the boldest design for the sixth generation of the Nike Tiempo Legend Boots to date, set to be released in March 2016.

In late December 2015, Nike revealed the first-ever Women's edition of the next-gen Nike Tiempo Legend Cleats. And while the inaugural women's colorway of the Nike Tiempo Legend 6 Cleats featured a quite understated white, black and red color scheme, the second Nike Tiempo Legend 2016 Women's Boots paint job is anything but shy.

NIKE TIEMPO LEGEND 6 2016 WOMEN'S BOOTS - WHITE / BLUE / PURPLE / TURQUOISE

This is the second-ever Nike Tiempo Legend 6 Women's Edition.

Mainly white, the Nike Tiempo Legend VI 2016 Women's Soccer Boots could have been classic if Nike wouldn't have decided to combine the clean main color with garish purple, turquoise and blue applications. Interestingly, whereas all other boots of the Nike Spring 2016 Women's Boot Pack come with a stunning all-over color gradient, the Nike Tiempo Legend March 2016 Women's Soccer Shoe just includes the gradient on the Swoosh, fading from purple to green glow.
Nike combines the white, purple and turquoise upper with blue for the sole plate and the Nike lettering on the tongue, while the sole plate boasts eight purple studs, rounding off the risky design.

From a tech point of view, the Nike Tiempo Legend 6 2016 Women's Cleat is anything but extraordinary but exactly the same as the Men's and the first-ever Women's edition of the modern Kangaroo leather boots. The boot features a premium k-leather upper, while Nike most noteworthy introduced an all-new xray internal skeleton that allows the leading football boots brand to reduce most of the stitching in the forefoot area.
That's definitely not an instant classic. What do you think of the extremely bold Nike Tiempo Legend 2016 Women's Boots? Let us know in the comments below.
