Nike Attack Pack: football boots

What is the Nike Attack Pack?

The Nike Attack Pack is a selection of Nike football boots focused on attacking play, available on Foot-Store in adult and children's versions. It features the brand's three main lines, Mercurial, Phantom and Tiempo, each available with different types of soles to suit the pitch you play on.

This page brings together the references available in the catalogue, without distinguishing generations: it's a practical entry point when you're looking for a Nike boot for attacking, whether you're an experienced player or equipping a child just starting out.

Mercurial, Phantom, Tiempo: the ranges of the Nike Attack Pack

Each line caters to a different use on the pitch.

• The Mercurial (Superfly and Vapor) is the line historically associated with speed and acceleration, featuring a slim upper designed for quick bursts of movement.
• The Phantom focuses on ball control and technical precision, ideal for players who build up play or finish actions close to the goal.
• The Tiempo (Maestro, Ligera) is all about a leather-like touch and comfort, for players who value ball feel over pure lightness.

In the catalogue, these three ranges are available with various types of soles: FG for firm natural pitches, AG for synthetic pitches, MG for mixed surfaces, and TF for stabilised pitches or city stadiums. The right choice primarily depends on the type of pitch you play on most often, rather than the model itself.

Gloves, shin guards, and accessories to complete your gear

In addition to boots, the Nike catalogue includes accessories to play safely and under good conditions. The Nike Grip3 goalkeeper gloves are designed for players in that position, while the Nike Charge shin guards protect legs from contact, regardless of the position played on the pitch.

Children's and adult shoes: how to choose in the Attack Pack

The Nike Attack Pack selection offers pairs in adult sizes and versions designed for children, with the same lines (Mercurial, Phantom, Tiempo) adapted to their shape. For a beginner child, an AG or MG sole, which is more versatile, is often better than an FG sole reserved for well-maintained natural pitches.

For a more experienced player, the choice is more about the feel desired: speed and lightness with the Mercurial, technical precision with the Phantom, or comfort and ball touch with the Tiempo.

Good deals: when to check prices on the Nike Attack Pack

The price of Nike shoes changes throughout the site's sales events, rather than remaining fixed all year. The Black Friday (football shoes on Black Friday) often marks the first big event of the year-end, followed by the holiday season.

Next come the winter sales, which you can find on the shoes on sale page, followed by the French Days in spring. Outside of these periods, the football shoes promotions page and the shoes shipped in 24h page help you quickly spot available references. The shoe clearance page and the new football shoes page are also worth checking out depending on what you're looking for, whether it's end-of-line collections or newly arrived models.

Frequently asked questions

How to know which size to choose for a children's football shoe?

Children’s Nike football boots are generally chosen as you would choose street shoes, leaving a bit of space at the end of the shoe for growth. If in doubt between two sizes, it's better to go for the larger size rather than squeezing the foot, especially for a child who is still growing.

Can you wear Mercurial boots for a defender's position?

Yes, the choice of a boot doesn't depend solely on the position played on the pitch. A defender who prioritises speed in their passing can very well wear a Mercurial, just as a forward might prefer the ball feel of a Tiempo.

Which Nike shoe to choose for playing indoors or on city pitches?

For stabilised pitches or city stadiums, TF soles with numerous small studs offer better grip than FG soles designed for natural grass. This is the case for instance with the Mercurial Superfly Club TF models in this selection.

Should shin guards be changed at the same time as boots?

No, these are two independent pieces of equipment that do not wear out at the same rate. A shin guard like the Nike Charge can be kept longer than a pair of boots, as long as it remains in good condition and fits the player's size.

Does the Nike Attack Pack also include goalkeeper gloves?

The selection is focused on football boots, but it also includes Nike Grip3 goalkeeper gloves available on this page, for players in that position who wish to complete their Nike gear.
