WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Beyond performance enhancements, the Nike United pack makes a bold fashion statement. The boots feature a purple and Volt colourway, symbolizing power and ambition, while also reflecting Nike’s history of pushing boundaries in football.</p><p>Another standout feature of the Nike United pack is its shattered glass pattern on the upper, symbolizing the breaking of barriers in women’s football. Each boot also carries the athletes’ names alongside the Nike United logo, while a custom sock liner pays tribute to all six players involved.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Girma, one of the Tiempo ambassadors, highlighted the impact of the collection on the women’s football movement.</p><p>“Being a part of this boom and just making people respect women’s sports is exciting,” she said. “When we’re done, it’s going to be even better for the next generation.”</p>

WHAT GIRMA SAID

<p>The Nike United pack launched on February 5, with fans able to purchase the boots via nike.com and selected retail stores. Girma and James may be seen wearing their respective new boots for the first time when Chelsea face West Ham in the semi-finals of the Women's League Cup on Wednesday night.</p>
