It was on the internet on november/2012...

 

jorma how do the hypervenom compare to the neo? i tried on a pair of hypervenom in town today. the soleplate is extremely rigid.

 

I think I remember the picture you're referencing. Can you confirm that the MVX will resemble that prototype?

 

@soulstar89 yeah the soleplate is rigid until it's worn a few times. I like soft soleplates like the morelia or premier. Premier soleplate on a Hypervenom upper with the Hypervenom stud positioning, yes please!
I prefer the HV to the neo but maybe not to the UL. Although the heel lockdown on the UL always bugs me

 

PM me...

 

@Jorma Is the soleplate of the hypervenom easily scratched? This is my first time having first grade boots.

 

boots are to be worn/used/loved/enjoyed/PLAYED IN!

just keep the upper and sole clean from mud after games and you will be fine

 

Alright, thanks.

Haha also thanks for reminding me they're for playing! I just really like those boots a lot

Anyway, what's the best way to clean them?

 

Why do some of it have the 'prem'.

 

Thanks! That really put my mind a lot more at ease

I think I just really love what they did with the Hypervenom, for me they're like the perfect boots. I almost wanted to get the black ones because I was worried about how dirty the orange ones will get. Luckily I didn't because orange and black is definitely the way I like my hypervenoms

Hopefully I'll get over it too but in the mean time I'm just gonna clean my boots like crazy after each game lol.

 

I've been wearing the Hypervenom FG for quite some time now and they felt very comfortable straight from the beginning. Very soft upper specially in the toe area where I've been having problems with other boots (pain on toe nails). Since I often play on artificial grass, I decided to try the AG's too (because I'm always afraid artificial grass might ruin the FG's). I put them on (same size as the FG I have) and they hurt my toes like hell. Sure the soleplate must be a little stiffer and thicker but I didn't expect that big of a difference. Anyone else tried those two versions?

 

You've got to give it to Nike, they know what makes a cool teaser.

 

Best one so far I'd say

 

Neil Armstrong wore vapors?!?!?!?!? I thought he would've been a tiempo guy.

 

He wore the Tiempo in training as he did prefer it over the Mercurials, but Nike's advertising convinced him he had to switch to the Vapors, as it was the only boot fast enough to achieve escape velocity from the Earth's gravitational pull.

Little known fact: Buzz Aldrin had to switch to the CTR360 for the journey home to maintain complete control of the capsule during it's descent.

 

cant wait for these boots!

 

Very curious about this as well. I tried on the FG at Niketown and took me back to the first time I tried on my Maestri II Elite. They felt like slippers on my feet. I play on truf 99% of the time though and will be getting the AG version.
