Nike has unveiled its latest United pack featuring three iconic football boot franchises, with Chelsea stars Lauren James and Naomi Girma leading the way as brand ambassadors for this groundbreaking release that celebrates women's football.
The collection, which launched on February 5th, includes new designs across the Tiempo, Mercurial, and Phantom lines. In a unique collaborative approach, Nike worked with six players from various countries and teams to create this distinctive series of football boots.
The Tiempo line, renowned for its touch and versatility, is represented by Chelsea's Girma and Barcelona's Patricia Guijarro. The Mercurial collection, engineered for speed and agility, features Chelsea's Lauren James and Barcelona's Salma Paralluelo as its ambassadors. Meanwhile, Portland Thorns duo Sophia Wilson and Deyna Castellanos showcase the Phantom series, which emphasizes precision in passing and shooting.
The design of the Nike United pack makes a bold statement with its purple and Volt colorway, symbolizing power and ambition while paying homage to Nike's legacy of innovation in football. A distinctive shattered glass pattern adorns the upper of each boot, serving as a powerful symbol of breaking barriers in women's football. The collection features personal touches, including the athletes' names alongside the Nike United logo and custom sock liners commemorating all six players involved in the project.
Speaking about the collection's significance, Tiempo ambassador Naomi Girma expressed her enthusiasm for the project's impact on women's sports: "Being a part of this boom and just making people respect women's sports is exciting," she remarked. "When we're done, it's going to be even better for the next generation."
Football enthusiasts can now purchase the Nike United pack through nike.com and select retail locations, marking another significant step forward in the evolution and recognition of women's football.
