The best Nike football boots available right now
5. Nike Premier 3 - Grey
On the face of it, the lesser-known Nike Premier is a budget-friendly option for the traditionalist.
It’s a clean, simple, does-exactly-what-you-ask winner. And it's one of the best cheap Nike football boots out there.
But deep down, it’s a durable, luxurious leather weapon. And this slick grey colourway oozes class for us.
The RRP is less than £110, so you’ll save a packet vs. other Nike models too.
4. Nike Mercurial Dream Speed Superfly 8 (MDS005 Edition)
We shouldn’t have to tell you that boots endorsed by Cristiano Ronaldo do actually work, especially when you’re looking at hitting the back of the net on the reg.
Oh, and light-footed wingers will suit these boots too.
The Dream Speed 5 edition of Nike’s Mercurial Superfly 8 are jam-packed with tech, and they look incredible.
Stick these on, you’ll soon be darting around like a prime CR7. Well, in your head at least.
3. Nike Phantom GT2 (Blueprint Pack)
The Phantom GT2 is worn by some of the world’s finest, including Manchester City’s 2021/22 PFA Player Of The Year nominee Kevin De Bruyne.
They're probably the best Nike football boots for midfielders as well, which justifies their inclusion in this list.
Nike’s 'Blueprint Pack' has been a huge hit with fans since its release, and the Phantom GT2 got the ‘laser orange’ treatment which, to say the least, is vibrant.
This your best choice of Nike boot for wide feet too, and we love every mm of it.
2. Nike Tiempo Legend 9 (Shadow Pack)
For us, a boot ranking just isn’t complete without a black option. But black and gold together? Yes, very yes.
The Shadow Pack from Nike looks especially sharp on the Nike Tiempo Legend 9 model, which is perfect for defenders. An all-round, leather-clad classic.
When it comes to options, the Tiempo is available in a raft of colours, sole types and price points.
If you like the look and feel, you’re going to find something perfect for your game with this brilliant silo.
1. Nike Mercurial Vapor 14 (Progress Pack)
The Nike Mercurial Vapor often comes in high on our rankings. That shouldn’t come as a surprise, as it’s one of the most trusted silos in world football.
Lewandowski and Vini Jr, to name a couple. It's the best Nike football boot for strikers, without a doubt.
Nike claims that the Progress Pack was made to remind us all that we constantly evolve.
It’s fitting then, that its light shade brings back nostalgic vibes of a 04/05 CR7. Someone who’s certainly evolved his game to new levels every season.
Bonus: The Nike 1971
We’re throwing this one in here simply on the grounds of complete admiration. There is almost no chance you’re going to get hold of a pair, unless you’re shelling out £100s on eBay.
There are only 1971 remade pairs of this legendary boot in circulation, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of their first ever football boot, The Nike. This is the real Black Beauty.
Admire this image, because there is a very good chance you'll never hold a pair for real. *Dabs tears away*.
Not feeling our selection? Hey, we can’t get it right for everyone. Feel free to browse our massive range of Nike football boots, pick out your favourite and rest easy, knowing you’ve saved a packet on them.
