Nike have introduced the latest chapter in their Tiempo story with the unveiling of the Tiempo Legend X Elite ‘Made in Italy’ – a luxurious drop that combines handcrafted excellence with cutting-edge performance.

Built in the famed Montebelluna factory – where Nike crafts boots for its top pros – the new Tiempo is all about detail.

Dressed in crisp tones of white and cream with a textured snakeskin finish, the boot features subtle chrome detailing, a calligraphic Tiempo logo, and a stitched Italian flag on the inner lining, honouring its elite European origins.

A premium boot bag is also included, completing the high-end feel.

Performance, of course, hasn’t taken a back seat. The upper is made from Nike’s advanced FlyTouch+ synthetic leather, delivering soft, responsive touch without compromising on weight or durability. A Flyknit collar offers secure lockdown and comfort, while the updated soleplate features a mix of circular and bladed studs to maximise grip, control, and quick transitions on the pitch.

It’s the perfect harmony of tradition and tech – a boot that looks like a classic but plays like a modern masterpiece.

Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk gave the boots their debut appearance during a pre-season clash with AC Milan in Hong Kong – a fitting ambassador for a release built on composure, confidence, and class.

The Tiempo Legend X Elite ‘Made in Italy’ is available now via Nike.com and selected global retailers.
