Blackout boots are becoming increasingly popular, as many are taking the direct alternative to loud coloured flashy boots by throwing back to the good old days, while still keeping all the benefits of the modern features.
It's not just football either, as many people have noticed how ridiculously slick the New Zealand All Blacks are looking at the 2015 Rugby World Cup with their squad policy of only having 100% black boots.
The latest boots to get the blackout treatment are the Nike Hypervenom II, which are worn week-in, week-out by players like Neymar, Wayne Rooney, and man-of-the-moment Robert Lewandowski.
The Nike Hypervenom II is specifically engineered for attacking goal scorers and offers unrivaled agility, a barefoot like touch on the ball as well as the trademark dynamic collar fit delivering a seamless sock like feel. Furthermore, the blackout colourway is just ridiculously slick, but if you want to buy a pair in person, the only place you can do so is Dublin.
Yes, you read that right, Dublin is the only place in the World where you can buy a physical pair of these boots, and in particular, Life Style Sports on Grafton Street, but you'll need to be quick, as only ten pairs are being released for physical sale.
