Nike Tiempo Legend - Blue - UK 8

The Nike Tiempo Legend 10 Elite SG boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or heavily saturated. They are not recommended for firm ground, artificial turf, or indoor surfaces.

FlyTouch Plus engineered leather is a premium synthetic material designed to mimic the softness and adaptive feel of natural leather. It provides an incredibly soft and responsive touch on the ball, enhancing your control and feel while offering durability and consistent performance in various conditions.

Anti-Clog Traction is a Nike innovation on the soleplate that helps prevent mud from sticking and building up. This technology ensures the soleplate remains lightweight and maintains consistent traction, even on the heaviest and muddiest pitches, allowing for unimpeded movement.

After each use, remove loose mud with a soft brush. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and air dry away from direct heat. Stuffing them with newspaper helps absorb moisture and maintain shape. Regular cleaning and occasional conditioning of the leather will prolong their life.

While the FlyTouch Plus engineered leather is designed to be highly adaptive, a short break-in period is recommended. Wear them for a few shorter training sessions before a competitive match to allow the boots to fully mold to the shape of your feet for optimal comfort and performance.

The boots are designed to perform on wet and muddy soft ground, offering good resistance to water penetration. However, they are not completely waterproof in the sense of being submersible. The materials help shed water and keep your feet drier in typical wet pitch conditions.

While Anti-Clog reduces buildup, extreme mud can still adhere. Ensure you are playing on appropriate soft ground conditions. After play, thoroughly clean the soleplate with water and a brush to remove any remaining debris and maintain the coating's effectiveness.

The engineered leather will adapt, but ensure lacing is not excessively tight. Wear them for shorter periods during training to break them in. If discomfort persists, check your sock thickness or consider if the size is correct.

Verify you are playing on a soft ground (SG) pitch. These boots are not designed for firm ground or artificial turf. Inspect the studs for wear or damage; worn studs reduce traction. Ensure the soleplate is clean before play.

This indicates a lack of proper care. After cleaning, apply a small amount of leather conditioner designed for football boots or sports footwear. Avoid drying boots near direct heat sources, which can dehydrate the leather.
