Design My Own Nike Boots

Ian Ebbs

Nike By You football boots give customers the ability to customise and create their own Nike boots; right now NikeID (another name for the service) is available to customise the Mercurial Superfly and Vapor, along with the Phantom and the Academy takedown models of both those boot lines.

Design Your Own Nike

Try your hand at making your own football boots, with Nike’s design service, to make boots By You. Add your own colours, designs and style for a touch of magic on the pitch.
Make Your Nike

Nike By You options vary due to their releases and the colour options change as different variants are released, but you get plenty of options. You can go for a pro Elite boot or the cheaper Academy versions depending on what you are looking for. Perhaps for the children you can go for the latter to give them a taste of a customised pair of boots.

Nike now call their NIKEiD custom boots either Nike by You, Mercurial By You or Phantom By You. Features include adding text to the boots, customising preset graphics, choosing the type of soleplates and whether to go plain, gradient or metallic on such, and choosing laces.
