Nike Phantom Venom Academy Black Gold FG

Nike Phantom Venom Academy Black Gold FG New with box The Upper: The Phantom Venom Academy model was based off the top end Phantom Venom Elite, a very short lived, but wildly popular boot by Nike The upper on the Academy model used a Nike Skin design that was a one piece synthetic material, slightly thicker and more padded than the top model The Academy modeled featured a slightly ribbed rubber material near the instep, which added some texture on the boots and created a strike zone The Sole Plate: This sole plate used a one piece plastic design, that was slightly thicker than the Elite version, but featured a similar cosmetic approach All chevron studs were used, adding maximum traction while turning and changing direction Notes and Comments: Overall, the upper is rather nice on these, with a similar cosmetic approach to the top model The main difference is the sole plate being slightly thicker than the top model, but overall the boots are rather nice to the touch
