Nike Tiempo Legend X Elite NU FG

Guava Ice/Black/Total Orange

The best of the best. Elite soccer cleats are the cleats professional players wear on-field, made using the highest quality materials and featuring the latest technologies and innovations. The premium option for players who demand the best possible performance from their cleats.

Nike’s longest-standing cleat series, the Tiempo has maintained its place at the top of the game for decades by providing unrivaled comfort and control of the ball.

It’s undergone many revisions and redesigns since its creation, but in terms of looks, there’s a clear throughline from today’s Tiempos to the ones worn by so many stars in the 90s. If you like that old-school style of cleat but also want to benefit from the latest tech, the Tiempo is ideal.

While the first Tiempo dates back to 1983, its modern heritage began in 2005 with the Air Legend. Ronaldinho was the main man when it came to endorsement, showing that the Tiempo was equally effective in the attacking third as at the back and in midfield.

Since then, we’ve had numbered generations of the Tiempo Legend at regular intervals, with incremental changes made over the years to ensure the iconic cleat keeps pace with its rivals and continues to offer that winning combination of fit, feel, and touch. There have been signature editions for R10 and other Tiempo stalwarts such as Totti and Pirlo, along with a significant spinoff in the form of the purist’s favorite, the Premier.

So, is it a defender’s cleat? Or a midfield maestro’s? What about strikers? Honestly, all of the above. Whichever position you play, you want what the Tiempo offers. There’s a reason it’s been around for so long: it’s one of the best cleats ever made.

Nike’s mission is “to bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the world”. For decades, their cleats have done exactly that, being seen on the feet of amateur and professional players alike, all around the globe.

Starting with “The Nike” back in 1970, the Swoosh’s designs have always led the way when it comes to combining style and performance.

Their modern range includes the ever-popular Mercurial for speed, as worn by the legend that is Cristiano Ronaldo, along with the touch-focused Phantom GT. Or, if you prefer a classic cleat, the more traditional Tiempo and Premier are your go-to options.

Nike offer cleats for all types of surface and levels of play, including their exclusive Anti-Clog editions with soleplates designed specifically for wet, muddy pitches.
