Nike Tiempo Legend X Elite Shadow Pack - Black / Chrome / Hyper Royal FG
Comes with original bootbag and box .
Arriving in stark contrast to the bright hues of the ‘Mad Brilliance’ pack, the brand’s current on-pitch pack, Nike release an update for the ‘Shadow Pack’. The blackout set sees the Phantom GX II and Phantom Luna II – which we’ve seen blacked out before – joined by the Tiempo Legend X and the newly released Air Zoom Mercurial Vapor XVI and Superfly X, as they all go down the zero-flamboyancy route of being drained of all colour.
The Tiempo Legend X takes on a look that is far more in keeping with its roots, and that embossed forefoot area looks all the more sumptuous in the sleek blackness in which it is presented in here.
In case you didn't know, the main talking point with the new Tiempo is that it's the first to land since Nike announced its move away from leather, a huge marker for the franchise. It’s been replaced by one of Nike’s latest material innovations, FlyTouch Plus. A proprietary synthetic leather, FlyTouch Plus is soft, light, and strong, giving athletes extra ball control where they need it most.
FlyTouch Plus also helps make the Tiempo Legend 10 the lightest Tiempo to date, as well as 55 percent less water-retentive than previous versions, which allows the boot to mould to the athlete’s foot and retain its shape over time. FlyTouch Plus also has a grippy feel that gives players a consistent touch on the ball no matter if it’s a dry day on the pitch or the conditions are wet.
With all of this new innovation, it’d be understandable to think that the Tiempo 10 was moving away from what came before, but that’s very much not the case. It retains the classic, smooth traction pattern that is synonymous with the Tiempo franchise, ensuring it still offers the tried-and-true qualities synonymous with the silo.
