Just 5 short years ago Nike launched the Mercurial Vapor Flyknit Ultra, which would go on to become one of the company’s most wildly successful special edition boot launches. Combining these boots with the wildly popular Hypervenom has helped Nike launch the Nike Phantom Ultra Venom. 

Hypervenom Roots

Hypervenom III Soleplate
Hypervenom III Upper

If you love the Phantom GT, then you know that these boots derived from a long and historic line of Hypervenoms before them. The Hypervenom was wildly successful for three iterations until it transformed into the Phantom that we have come to know and love today. However, the Phantom GT has always stayed true to its Hypervenom roots and these boots are an homage to just that. 

The Phantom Ultra Venom takes the super reactive soleplate of the Hypervenom 3 and makes a new home on these special edition boots. This soleplate works to give your foot more natural flexibility so moving in multiple directions comes without any obstacles. Super springy and responsive feeling in these boots ensures that you stay comfortable in the toughest moments of the season. 

On the upper these boots take on the Hypervenom’s legendary texturing for a new and improved feeling on the ball. The raised grooves and texture work to give you more fierce strikes and controlled dribbling, helping you easily dominate the pitch. Also, the high quality texture of these boots ensures that you generate spin unlike ever before!

Flyknit Ultra History

One of the best releases in company history just got a makeover in the all new Phantom Ultra Venom. These boots take on that super textured and flexible Flyknit upper that has become one of the hottest commodities in the game. The super stretchy mesh upper is super breathable and makes a home for the ridges on the upper in the boots. 

Don’t worry spin and control is also made totally possible with the textured toe and forefoot that are made in part with Flyknit material. Whether you’re looking for a cool hype launch or some high quality tech of the past, these boots are certainly for you. Taking the best pieces of the Flyknit Ultra, lacing up speed, control, and precision has never been so easy. 

The Look


What Nike does with their special edition launches is simply extraordinary. Giving us bold and new colorways that take the world of boot design and turn it upside down. The Phantom Ultra Venom gives you a new look that’ll have you turning heads with every step. A chromed out soleplate features in a Bright Citrus color as well as the details on the upper. A totally Black upper makes sure that these bold details pop and look more extraordinary than any boots than ever before.
