The By You service by Nike gives the 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 takedowns of those same models.
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.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 have started to call their NIKEiD custom boots Mercurial By You (or with the relevant silo name). Other nice 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.
