A New Breed of Attack It is supercilious to any other sport in terms of entertainment, finance and culture. It attracts the attention of over a third of the world population during its illustrious World Cup. It has induced ceasefires because, opposing nations were eager to see its dazzling superstars play. It is as Pelé said “the beautiful game”. It is soccer. I —along with over two billion people— am an avid soccer fan. I am awestruck by the magnificence of the game, the players and its uniqueness. I am perplexed by the physics defying shows of prowess displayed by soccer superstars. In particular, there is one that I love above all. His name is Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior. Neymar is best known his clinical finishing, electrifying dribbling ability and charm. He is the reason why I recently purchased my orange and black Nike HyperVenom Phantom FG soccer cleats. The Nike HyperVenom Phantom FG soccer cleats series was first unveiled on May 27th, 2013. It is classified as an agility boot and was designed for perfect dribbling and ball control. Neymar and Mario Balotelli presented it at the 2013 Fédération Internationale de Football Association (International Federation of Association Football) Confederations Cup. The boot utilizes the most advanced and innovative technologies to form ‘a new breed of attack’. It uses All Conditions Control coating that enables its wearer to maximize his performance in both wet and dry weather. A key attribute of the Nike HyperVenom Phantom FG soccer cleats is the new NikeSkin technology. The NikeSkin of the boot is the epitome of Nike’s technological genius. The NikeSkin is a soft mesh coated with polyurethane, this results in an ultra light boot; it is the closest thing to playing barefoot. The NikeSkin technology gives the boot unprecedented ball control, agility, infinite acceleration and deadly dribbling capabilities. With these boots on, defenders cower in the devastating goal
