Designed for serious footballers playing on soft, natural ground, the Nike Tiempo Legend 10 Elite offers exceptional touch and traction. Its advanced features like FlyTouch Plus synthetic leather and All Conditions Control technology provide a premium feel and consistent performance, though its specialized soft ground soleplate means it's best suited for its intended surface.

The Nike Tiempo Legend 10 Elite Soft Ground boots are engineered to maximize your performance on challenging wet and muddy pitches. The Microdots on the upper are immediately noticeable, providing a tactile connection to the ball that enhances your dribbling precision and passing accuracy. When you're making a crucial pass or taking a shot, these reinforced zones ensure a consistent, reliable touch.
With All Conditions Control (ACC) technology, you can confidently take on defenders and maintain ball control even in heavy rain. The grippy texture prevents the ball from slipping, allowing for sharp turns and powerful strikes without compromise. The FlyTouch Plus synthetic leather truly stands out, offering a plush, broken-in feel right out of the box, reducing break-in time and providing all-game comfort. This soft material adapts to your foot, giving you a natural feel for the ball, crucial for intricate playmaking.
The Flyknit around the ankle works in tandem with the lacing system to cradle your foot, ensuring a secure, locked-down fit that minimizes slippage during explosive movements. This stability is vital for quick changes of direction and powerful sprints. Finally, the tapered lugs in the heel are the cornerstone of its soft ground dominance. These studs are designed to penetrate and release from muddy surfaces effectively, providing the optimal traction needed for rapid acceleration, decisive cuts, and maintaining balance on unstable terrain. For example, when pushing off for a sprint or pivoting quickly to change direction, you'll feel the confident grip, preventing slips that can lead to loss of possession or injury.
Upon first wearing, the FlyTouch Plus synthetic leather generally offers a comfortable, adaptable fit with minimal break-in required compared to traditional leather boots. However, it's always recommended to wear them for a few light training sessions before a match to allow them to fully mold to your foot. Ensure the Flyknit ankle collar is comfortably snug around your ankle, providing support without restricting movement. Lace them up securely, starting from the bottom, to achieve an even pressure distribution across your foot.
These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches, which are typically wet, muddy, or extremely soft natural grass. The tapered lugs are optimized for penetration and traction in these conditions. Using them on firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor surfaces will not only reduce performance but can also cause damage to the studs and the boot's soleplate, and may void any warranty. Always check the pitch conditions before selecting your footwear.
Proper care is essential to prolong the life of your Tiempo Legend 10 Elite SG boots:
Clean After Every Use: Immediately after playing on soft ground, remove excess mud and dirt. Use a soft brush or cloth and lukewarm water to gently clean the upper and soleplate. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials.
Dry Naturally: Stuff the boots with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), as this can cause the synthetic leather to crack or stiffen.
Store Properly: Once dry, store your boots in a cool, dry place. Using a boot bag can protect them from dust and damage. Avoid leaving them in a damp sports bag.
Inspect Regularly: Periodically check the studs for wear or damage, especially after playing on particularly challenging surfaces.
