Nike Football is diving deep into nostalgia with a major throwback. The Nike Hypervenom Phantom 1 “Black/Bright Citrus” is making a return in Summer 2025. This boot helped redefine the attacking game when it launched in 2013.
First worn by Neymar Jr. during his debut at FC Barcelona, the Hypervenom Phantom 1 became a must-have. It was Nike’s response to the end of the Total 90 series. Built for agility, it brought something fresh to the pitch.
The original design featured NikeSkin for that barefoot feel. Plus, ACC tech gave players all-weather control. These features made it a favorite among attackers worldwide.
Now, after 12 years, Nike is bringing it back with key upgrades. The 2025 Hypervenom Phantom 1 retro keeps the NikeSkin upper intact. However, the soleplate has been upgraded with tech from the Phantom III. This ensures modern traction and comfort for today’s players.
Visually, the cleat still stuns. The black and bright citrus color blocking remains bold. The skull logo returns as a nod to the original branding. Each pair comes in a special edition box and orange Hypervenom drawstring bag.

This limited-edition Nike Hypervenom “Black/Bright Citrus” will release on May 29, 2025 at select Nike Soccer stores and Nike.com. Fans of Neymar and Nike’s soccer legacy won’t want to miss this drop.
To sum up, Nike’s Hypervenom Phantom 1 comeback blends heritage and innovation. It honors a golden era while meeting modern needs. Be ready when it launches in June 2025.
