Nike Tiempo's
The Nike Tiempo football boot is known for its comfort. It is endorsed by players such as Ronaldinho, Jérôme Boateng and Javier Hernández as well as several others. This boot comes in plain and original colors, however it can be personalised through the use of NIKEiD. It comes in 4 different soles - FG - firm ground, SG - soft ground, AG - artificial grass and IC - indoor. The more expensive the shoe is the better the material is and more durability it has.
The Nike Tiempos also come in Elite versions. Similar to other cleats in the Elite series, (T90, CTR, SUPERFLY) the chassis of the Legend Elite is made of carbon fiber to reduce weight. The Elite version of the Legend III instead used a new material called Kanga-Lite. Kanga-Lite is a water-resistant synthetic material that mimics the supreme ball feel and touch of kangaroo leather while maintaining its performance in all conditions. The first Elite version was released in Metallic Mach/Purple/Total Orange exclusively for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Subsequently the Tiempo has been released under the 10R (Ronaldinho), Ronaldinho has his own version called: Ronaldinho Dois.
On 1 July 2010, The Nike Tiempo Legend III was released, in two colorways, the first being Black/White/Volt and the second being Metallic White/Chilling Red. Subsequent colorways include White/Seaweed/Sport Red, Pearl/Black/Team Orange, White/Black/Del Sol, Black/White/Gold and Metallic Mach/Purple/Total Orange (This colorway is only available in the Elite versions of the Nike Tiempo).
The launch of the Tiempo Legend IV on 1 July 2011, marked a change in Nike's management of the Tiempo line, introducing an 'Elite' level boot at the time of launch (rather than part way through the boot's lifespan, as with the Legend III).
Whilst the Tiempo Legend IV received several notable updates, including a synthetic 'KangaLite' Leather midfoot and heel to improve stability and the removal of the classic Tiempo tongue - Nike's marketing surrounding the line focused on the Tiempo Legend IV Elite. Featuring Flywire similar to that on the Superfly III, full Carbon Fibre-chassis and 'Premium' Kangaroo leather, the Tiempo Legend IV Elite was Nike's lead boot for Autumn 2011.
Launching in Black/White/Total Orange, the Tiempo Legend IV Elite was the most expensive Tiempo ever, costing £275 (over US$315).
