The Hypervenom Phinish II takes the biggest design detour as the Tech Craft tweaks are rolled out in lo-cut format. Stripped back to a minimal form, the Hypervenom is coated in leather to complete the full 2016 Tech Craft series in subtle but superb style.
If the original Hypervenom II material was too rigid and heavy then the Tech Craft is everything that it should have been. Soft, flexible and aesthetically delicious. The Nike 2016 Tech Craft collection presents a level playing field when it comes to visuals, each of the silos is wrapped in black and silver, offering players to make their selection exclusively on performance features. This is perhaps where the Hypervenom becomes a little lost with players still struggling to see exactly what it offers that the Mercurial doesn't. Still, it looks absolute knockout.
The Tech Craft series has quietly become one of Nike's most anticipated boot collections, with a low-profile on the professional scene but a design smothered in elegant layers of leather for an alternative treat of traditional treasure. Each Tech Craft pack has shown a unique side of style but the 2016 edition is arguably the most polished yet.
