- What's up, guys, Matt from footballboots.co.uk,
and today, what we've got for you today
is a triple helping of Hypervenom Phantom 3 customs.
And make sure to vote in the poll cards towards the end
for your favourite creations.
The Hypervenom Phantom 3's are no doubt one of
the most technology-rich boots on the entire market.
But that launch radiation flare colorway
is pretty questionable.
So what would happen if we created our own
through different spray paint?
Let's find out.
Well, being footballboots.co.uk, we had to see
what the new hype's would look like in our
trademark orange and black colours.
So the first thing we did was use dye
to cover up the electric green colour with black.
We could've used spray paint right away,
but dye just makes sure of a quality coating.
The dye itself is super easy to use,
and the only prep work we did was use
an acid to start with, so the dye would set onto
the upper, and take out the laces.
(mellow music)
As with most Nike synthetic boots, the dye sits
onto the upper really well,
most likely due to the intricate texture
of the Nike skin layer.
And it's definitely best to use small amounts
so it doesn't run.
(mellow music)
All we had to do was use a little bit of tape
on the toe box when the two original colours met,
to ensure a crisp line.
Just be careful to not let the dye soak
through the tape and onto the orange side.
One thing we've learned through our customs
is that black dye really doesn't work
on the flyknit material, it just soaks right in
and doesn't sit on top.
Completely different to the Nike skin,
which goes totally black.
Once the boot's dye had dried, here's how they look
before using any spray paint.
If you wanted to keep your Hypervenom's black and orange,
rather than doing multiple customs like us,
then you can now use a black sharpie
to neaten everything up before spray painting the colour.
We also coloured in the stripe heel design
to compliment the overall new look,
and remove all original electric green touches.
We were hoping we wouldn't need to use any dye
on the colour, as the spray paint would
set right onto it.
Taping the orange side of the boot to keep it that way
and also wrapping up the exposed lacing tubes,
we were now ready to head outside and do that exact thing.
Using the standard black spray paint,
we coated the colour and went over the just dyed
black side of the upper for a glossy look.
But as you can see, the spray paint just didn't
want to work on the colour, completely different
to how it sets into the upper.
(mellow music)
So what we had to do now was wait until it had dried,
and then go back to the table and use a fabric dye
solution to make the colour solid black.
Annoying and time consuming, but worthwhile.
If you were thinking of dyeing your boots,
then just know that colour models can
be a nightmare to custom.
(mellow music)
Because dyeing the colour takes such a long time,
we did it off screen.
But once the fabric-dyed colour had dried,
here's how they looked in their first footballboots
orange and black custom, and in my opinion,
much better than the original.
I really love the exposed lace hoops being
the opposite colour on each side of the boot.
All we did for that was use a sharpie to change
green to black, simple but effective.
There's actually been a few rumours going around
the boot market at the moment how Nike may be
set to release a new pack,
which uses black and orange colours.
So as you can imagine, us guys are absolutely
buzzing for that one, if correct.
So let's move on to the second custom,
and here's where the pink spray paint comes into play.
And trust me, this type of spray paint
gets seriously bright.
This time, we taped up the new black side so we could
transform the original orange into pink to see
what a half and half black-pink would look like.
Maybe something a little similar to the first
Tech Craft Mercurials.
Make sure to shake the spray paint before use,
I don't really know why but the can says it
so follow the instructions.
So all we did was go back outside
and coat the orange in pink, simple as that.
And what I love so much about this type
of spray paint is how it literally
becomes so much more vibrant about five minutes
after finishing it.
I don't know what happens,
but it increases it's pop level by 100.
We also let the spray paint slightly coat
the sole plate to create a gradient effect
with the original black.
Having a black sole plate usually works best,
and this definitely proved the case here.
Because the spray paint has such a dusty effect,
there was a little bit of pink on the black side,
but you can literally brush that off
with your hand or a cloth.
But here's how they looked in their second custom,
half and half black and pink,
and I personally think they look pretty slick.
Again, no doubt, better than the original
orange and green, so hopefully Nike can try this one
for real in the future too.
Imagine this colorway but with a black Nike swoosh
and opposing black and pink lace hoops.
They'd look class.
Similar to the first black-orange custom,
if you wanted to stop here, then you could again
use a sharpie to neaten everything up.
But let's get straight into our third
and final custom design.
So as you probably noticed throughout the video,
there's been our custom Blue Blast Glitch
in the background.
So let's see if we can create a similar design
with the Hypervenom Phantom 3's.
All we had to do was tape up the new pink side
so the upcoming blue spray paint would coat
just outside of the boot.
One thing to mention is that if you are planning
on doing a custom, then try to only go for
one specific design.
The more layers of spray paint you do,
the more likely the paint is to crack.
Custom jobs like these are definitely more suited
to the mantle piece rather than the pitch,
as there's no guarantee the new effect will last.
(mellow music)
So we're back outside for the final time,
this time shaking up the blue spray paint
and then coating the black side.
Just like the pink spray paint,
the blue colour really does come to life
once it's fully dried, so wait to see how crisp
it looks in a second.
Here it is, guys, tape taken off
and you're now looking at the final custom.
A Blue Blast Hypervenom Phantom 3.
You can definitely see some cracking from
the amount of spray paint layers,
but what a cutaway this would be if Nike
did it properly.
(mellow music)
But which Blue Blast do you prefer out of
this one and our previous Glitch one?
I think I still prefer the gradient of the Glitch
compared to the more blocky Hypervenom.
But which custom within this video
takes the trophy for you?
The footballboots black and orange?
Mercurial Tech Craft black and pink?
Or Blue Blast pink and blue?

Any ideas you guys have for new customs
or any other videos you'd like us to do,
then please let us know.
Thanks for watching guys, cheers.
