Young ballers have been running the show this season, and Nike just dropped a stunning boot pack tailor-made for the next generation of football.

The ‘Rising Gem’ pack takes all of Nike’s boot silhouettes and gives them a colourful, rock-inspired makeover. Each boot features a grey upper, with a crystallised, black Swoosh mimicking the geometric formations of an unpolished gem. 

The soleplates are a work of art. For the Tiempo Legend X, the matte finish of the upper continues into the colourful studs. The iridescent green, blue and pink of the soleplate adds just the slightest touch of colour to the clean boots. For the Phantoms and Mercurials, the soleplate is a bold, metallic flash of colour – a hallmark of Nike’s latest boot designs.

These boots were made for the next gen, so it’s only right football’s youngest stars debut them on the pitch. The first players to rock the ‘Rising Gem’ pack include Nicolas Jackson, Jennifer Echegini, Rosa Kafaji and Rasmus Højlund.

The ‘Rising Gem’ boot pack is available to purchase on the Nike website and select retailers.

Take a closer look at the boots below.
