Seeing as Cristiano Ronaldo had the Week of his Life* by scoring all 4 goals in Portugal’s Home/Away World Cup playoff versus Sweden, fully profiling his new personalized boots seems quite fitting.

We have been getting a lot of questions about the Nike Hypervenom Phatal, so Bryan and I decided we should both add our thoughts to give a more broad ranging opinion. Bryan got them in first and gave them a run around before sending them off to me. Nike’s penchant …

There has been a definite trend with releases this Autumn, and it is again geared around visually enhanced designs that are set to light up pitches this Winter. It all started during the Summer months with the rather popping Lotto Solista, designed to light up under the exposure of bright …

Believe it or not, a pair of used Nike Hypervenom Phatals just sold for $3,601. That’s right, three thousand, six hundred, and one United States dollars.  But not just any old pair of Phatals. This pair was worn in game by an American Football player! Brandon Marshall took to the …

Only a few weeks back, Nike were heralding the release of a new custom designed, Zlatan Ibrahimovic Hypervenom Phantom, as seen above. It seemed like the big Swede was destined to make a dramatic switch from the Vapor IX to the Hypervenom in order to help lead it toward a …

It is that time of year, with European leagues underway and the excitement of Winter football just on the horizon. Being that most US eyes are focused on the EPL, you will be well aware that rain and dark days are not too far off. For that reason, Nike has …

With the recent retirement of the Nike T90 series, there has been a lot of reminiscing by fans toward some releases in the series that were really under-appreciated when they were released. Case in point, the Nike Air Zoom T90 Supremacy. Looking back in time, this was a classic for …
