Nike Launch Gold Neymar HyperVenom : Football Boots : Soccer Bible

HyperVenom goes gold in a Neymar exclusive that will be worn by the Brazilian throughout the knockout stages of the World Cup.

With Iniesta’s bags packed and Cristiano Ronaldo on his way out, Nike’s hope of summer success turns to the tournament’s poster-boy. Neymar was primed to reach new heights this summer and so far he hasn’t disappointed. As a football-obsessed 12 year-old Neymar Jr. would spray paint his football boots gold and on the back of Brazil reaching the knock-out stages of the World Cup following a comfortable 4-1 win over Cameroon in which Neymar scored the tournament’s 100th goal, Nike have hooked up Brazil's golden boy with a special edition pair of Gold/Volt/Black HyperVenom Phantom football boots. 


As Brazil go for gold, the nation's skillfull no.10 will wear these special edition HyperVenom Phantom Premium Gold/Volt/Black football boots throughout the knock-out stages of the World Cup. Brazil have secured their place in the last 16 and a classic clash with South American rivals Chile in Belo Horizonte awaits on Saturday.

Neymar was back to his inspiring best against Cameroon, scoring his third and fourth goal of the tournament and taking his World Cup goal total beyond that of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi - not bad for his first World Cup. In 53 games the 22-year-old Seleção superstar has scored 35 times, just three behind Pelé at the same age. Still questioning whether he deserves a golden boot?

The new Nike HyperVenom Phantom Premium Gold/Volt/Black football boots are available from June 26.
