Today,
Zlatan Ibrahimovic officially revealed the new “Flash Lime” Nike Hypervenom
football boot at an event in Paris for the city’s young footballers. The
Paris-Saint Germain striker will wear the boots for the first time this weekend
verus Guingamp.
Zlatan
addressed the young footballers who were in attendance bidding for the title of
most deadly striker in the French capital. Each team played throughout the day
in a three-on-three competiton under Zlatan’s watchful eye.
“Being
here tonight, there’s such an incredible energy,” said Ibrahimovic. “It’s very
exciting to see these young footballers talent and passion for this sport.”
The
Nike HyperVenom boot features a NIKESKIN upper that fits to the foot aiding
touch and control. In a game that is
always changing, the Nike Football design team created the Hypervenom with
feedback from top players including Ibrahimovic, Neymar and Wayne Rooney, who
specifically expressed his need for a boot to help create space quickly in and
around the penalty area to get his shot off from any angle.
During
the development of the Hypervenom, players discussed the increased agility of
opponents, referencing today’s best defenders who are now as quick, agile and
skilful as many of the world’s best forwards.
