You should be fine I tend to wear mine straight out of the box and don't have any problems. appleCORR
I Wore my Neymar/Jordan Hypervenom Phantom for the first time today not only does the upper look different it feels massively different. I usually wear HV Phantom's right out of the box and feel I don't really need a breaking in period. With these It did the upper was SO stiff. It kind of felt like Nike didn't want you or expect you to wear these boots. First thing I noticed is that the fit was smaller than the regular HVP I'd say by maybe half a size. I had the Camo's in a UK 7 so that's what I decided to opt for in these and they felt a LOT smaller the toe box felt cramped. So anyone who was thinking of getting these, I'd say go up half to a full size depending on how snug you want them. When it came to kicking a ball in these for the first time I actually couldn't feel the ball it reminded me of kicking in a much thicker boot like Nitrocharges although the upper did give a bit. I wore the boots for about 2 and half hours and they did give the more I played in them, but they are going to take a few more sessions of solid wearing before I think they will fully break in. I got a bit of cramp, but I always do with new boots so that's nothing for me to worry about. But I did get some pain down my achilles tendon. I've NEVER had this with HVP only Magista's so that was surprising. Saying that this upper felt really nice to hit long balls and shots in. I've seen reviews where they have said that Nike made the uppr like it was to keep it simple like on a pair of Jordan's - I don't know whether they have this upper because Neymar wears a pair of Vapors disguised as HVs - either way it would have been nice to have these in the new upper because that is like butter and gets more more of soft with every wear. They are a nice boot and I got lots of looks but they aren't worth the extra £30 that Nike are charging, I'm guessing for the Jordan branding on the back of the boot. The box, draw string bag and insoles are nice - that pebble dash Jordan pattern similar to the Camo box & bag its definitely one to keep. I'd post some pictures but I think other than the tips of the laces having '10' and the Brazilian flag next to it most of the boot details have been posted online. A nice touch is that the 23 and 10 that are stitched into the heel of the boot are in a different font the 23 being the same as what would be on the back of Jordan's shirt and the 10 looking like the font used on the Brazilian football shirt. I'll stick with them and break them in - I think they will be a nice pair of boots once I do. appleCORR
@appleCORR7 i guess the tip of the laces laces have a "DL" at first sight i also tought they have "10" next to the flag but if you look carefully it is "DL"
Oh yeah! Just had another look and I can make it out now. You think Nike would have had a better font for it. Wore them again tonight and they have started to soften up. Peridz have you worn yours? appleCORR
Can someone verify if these are the real deal and also if this is the high end version? Never seen these before http://www.marktplaats.nl/a/sport-e...651fa109c354bbabe740c1b&previousPage=lr&pos=2
Look fake to me. The stitching and the purple pattern on the bottom of the sole are not consistent with other pictures of the same model and colourway.
Lots of alarm bells to say fake....not streamlined, massive collar, weird outsold, swoosh/tic looks off.
Just bought some sfv pitch dark off ebay for £150, but now slightly regret it as i reckon i could have got them cheaper. Will post picks n a mini review when i get them.
I think I have asked this before - but has anyone washed their Superfly/Magista/Hypervenoms? Just seen a few videos popping up on YouTube and wondered what everyone else thought? Most of my boots are fine but any of the ones with a Volt collar have taken a battering. appleCORR
Yup, I've washed my Magista Obra IIs after we went into a swamp (don't ask...) for filming purposes. Came out perfectly clean and haven't seen or experienced any issues afterwards. Always a risk with the heat affecting the glue, but so far so good. Not something I'd do often though.
Just bought a pair of Magista Obra's in the turquoise colorway, Excited to finally see how the sock feels and plays, Picked them up off eBay for £65 winning bid and they've only been worn once, look brand new. Looked everywhere for these in UK 11 but they're impossible to find. Anyone see them give me a shout! http://www.prodirectsoccer.com/Prod...irm-Ground-Soccer-Cleats-641322300-89741.aspx
A swamp?! Might sick my WWC hypervenoms in the wash the see if I can get the crap out of the collar. £65 is a great deal - always loved that colourway! appleCORR
How's the sizing and fit like in the Premiers? I've been wanting to try a pair for quite some time, but can't find them in a store near me. I've worn Tiempo's and US9 fits me really well, if that helps.
Go half a size up in your Premiers. That's the advise I was given with mine and they feel great. appleCORR
