Nike's Hypervenom cleat made its official debut yesterday on the field, worn by players such as Clint Dempsey, Wayne Rooney, and Neymar.

The cutting edge soccer boot is constructed with all new NikeSkin technology, which is designed to fit close to the wearer's foot for a smooth, natural touch. The one-piece upper constructed of thin PU and mesh helps to rid excess weight by eliminating unnecessary layers. Meanwhile, a split-toe plate and agility traction pattern deliver quick responsiveness, allowing you to shake pesky defenders.

Helping to illustrate the lethal inspiration and tech behind the Hypervenom, this "Deadly Breed" clip personifies the model with snake and scorpion-like shapeshifting. If you're the kind of player who would benefit from the Hypervenom's striker-friendly setup, you can pre-order them today from Nike for $225 and they'll ship June 22.
