The goals, and the glory, go to the risk-takers who can change the course of a match in an instant. Nike are debuting the Phantom Venom Academy Mens FG Football Boots in Crimson and Black.

Thesefootball boots from leading sports brand Nike have an excellent boot-to-ball connection. Engineered with ridges on the instep for impressive spin, power and control with your strikes. These boots are for finishers where a balance between flexibility and stability has been achieved. By lacing through ultra-strong Flywire cables that wrap around your midfoot like a seatbelt, you get an adaptive fit that locks you down to the plate. The precision is assisted by the NIKESKIN technology overlay which conforms to your foot for a secure and comfortable fit, whilst the honeycomb textured upper ensures an astonishing first touch.

The crucial components of striking are accuracy, spim, elevation and power. To emphasise power transfer from your foot, angled strike blades injected directly onto the Venom's skin act like the grooves of a golf club, providing loft and spin on the ball. The PhantomVNM's HyperReactive 2.0 plate combines rigid materials with flexible joints to move with your foot's natural range of motion. When the studs hit the ground, the plate flexes to keep them engaged longer for added traction. The boots have a full lace fastening which are partly covered by a stretchy mesh to increase the strike zone for a clean contact with the ball and the contoured sockliner wraps and cushions your foot for essential comfort from the first whistle to the last.

These boots come as part of the Nike Game Over pack which was originally called the Game Killers pack. The Nike Game Over soccer boots collection includes the launch colourway of the all-new Nike Phantom Venom as well as new paint jobs for the Nike Mercurial, Phantom Vision & Tiempo. End it with precision and make sure you have that killer instinct on the pitch ending things before they've even begun, hence 'Game Over'.
