The Nike Hypervenom Phantom II is for the player who can never be stopped, the player who is always ready to attack, who never lets a defense rest. Always deadly by deception, no one embodies the Hypervenom better than Neymar, the world-class player who inspired it. Now he gets his own signature version based on what inspires him.
The Brazilian icon and FC Barcelona superstar's life motto, "Ousadia e Alegria," which translates from Portuguese to "audacity and joy," comes to life on the upper of these stunning cleats.
World-renowned Brazilian illustrator, painter and graffiti artist Bruno Big came to prominence in 2014 when Nike tapped him to paint storefronts during the FIFA World Cup™ and to craft artwork to be placed inside the neck of the jerseys worn by the host country.
Nike called on him again to realize Neymar's famous phrases in the Hypervenom, taking a motto and making it a symbol and a work of art.
The heart, inside the right and again used on the upper, is for his joy, the happiness he finds from playing the game he loves.
The soft touch and outsole designed to flex and move naturally with the foot are two key components of the Hypervenom Phantom. This helps to bring you closer to the ball, allowing you to enjoy every second of having it at your feet - the best form joy and love you can have in the game.
With a fist and a hand holding a heart, Bruno Big has used his unique style to bring "Ousadia e Alegria" to life. The fist on the left insole and replicated throughout the upper is for Neymar's audacity, his courage, by which he plays.
With a Nikeskin upper and Magwire, the Hypervenom Phantom locks your foot in allowing you to stay planted during every cut, every move. This is what enables Neymar to be able to leave defenders sitting on the ground when he's running by them. The locked-in fit gives you the courage to do something completely audacious.
