When you lace up a pair of soccer cleats, you’re not just stepping into a match but into possibility. That’s the feeling behind Nike’s latest drop: the Nike United Pack. This powerful new collection takes its cues directly from the pitch-dominating spirit of six iconic women in soccer.
The six female soccer players who inspired and are featured in the Nike United Pack are: Sophia Wilson (formerly Smith), Deyna Castellanos, Naomi Girma, Patricia Guijarro, Lauren James, and Salma Paralluelo.
For the first time, Nike has invited a collective of women soccer stars to shape the design of an entire line of shoes. The result? A bold, energetic pack made for athletes ready to rise, strike, and outplay. It’s more than a collab, it’s a statement.
Girma summed it up best:
“Being a part of this boom and just making people respect women’s sports is exciting. When we’re done, it’s going to be even better for the next generation.”
The Look: A Color Story of Strength and Ambition
Purple and Volt—two colors that pop with presence—were chosen as the signature of the Nike United Pack. The bold pairing reflects competitive energy and self-belief. And the shattered glass pattern on the upper? That’s a visual metaphor for breaking through. Each pair stands for every player who’s ever dared to go farther, faster, and harder.
Whether you're scanning the field or dashing for a game-winning goal, these shoes look like they’re ready to make a statement.
The Collection: Tiempo, Phantom, and Mercurial Get Reimagined
Nike didn’t just launch one shoe. They brought the design to three fan-favorite franchises. That means every player can find a model that matches their playing style, whether you’re a calm-and-collected playmaker, a swift striker, or a speed demon on the wing.
Let’s break down the trio:
Nike United Tiempo
Trusted, agile, always game-ready.
Low-top, clean, and built for versatility, the Tiempo gets a refresh that balances tradition with agility. Girma praised its lightness and reliability, qualities every defender and midfielder can appreciate.
Guijarro added, “It’s perfect for players who handle the ball a lot and lead the play.”
This one’s made for the ones who control the tempo and never lose their cool.
Nike United Phantom
Sharp, accurate, powerful.
Co-designed by Sophia Wilson and Deyna Castellanos, this Phantom is all about scoring. The structure and fit help you plant, pivot, and shoot without hesitation. As Castellanos put it, “It’s about precision, and that is something that describes my game a lot.”
If you live for goal celebrations, this boot has your name on it—well, actually, it has their names on it. Each pair features the athlete's signatures and the Nike United logo on the heel.
Nike United Mercurial
Fast feet meet fearless movement.
Made for attackers who zip past defenders, the Mercurial is built to help you explode off the mark. Lauren James says, “The Mercurial is great for anyone who moves fast,” and Paralluelo backs it up: “An electric, fast player—an attacker—would love this.”
If acceleration is your edge, these shoes have your back.
Where Performance Meets Purpose
Every boot in the Nike United Pack is built for top-tier performance, but they’re also infused with purpose. The Nike United logo and each player’s name remind us that these cleats are part of something bigger: a tribute to athletes changing the game.
Inside each pair, a custom sock liner honors the entire Nike United collective. It's a small detail with major meaning—something that sticks with you long after the final whistle.
Not Just for Women—Made for Everyone
Though inspired by women in soccer, the Nike United Pack is for everyone. Whether you're shopping for mens soccer cleats or looking for a pair that speaks to your drive, these shoes deliver on performance and energy.
And here’s the thing: this drop isn’t about separating, it’s about uniting. The message is the same for men, women, and youth. Confidence. Strength. Possibility. You’ll find it in every stitch of the Nike United Pack.
