Patryk Klimala (New York Red Bulls) Nike Hypervenom Phantom II

New York Red Bulls enjoyed a 2-1 win over Orlando Pride this weekend, with forward Patryk Klimala set up both goals for New York. He did so in the Nike Hypervenom Phantom II in that purple colourway that actually would've matched the home side better. Still a nice throwback though.
