The Nike Tiempo Legend 10 Academy FG/MG Football Boots are designed for players seeking exceptional comfort and precise ball control on both natural and synthetic surfaces. Featuring an innovative FlyTouch Lite engineered upper, these boots offer a soft, close feel to the ball with zero break-in time. While providing high-level performance for academy players, it's important to remember these are part of the 'Academy' tier, balancing advanced features with accessibility.
FlyTouch Lite Engineered Upper: Softer than natural leather, this material provides a premium, close-to-ball feel without overstretching, offering zero break-in time.
3D Microdot Touch Zones: Strategically placed microdots amplify ball control and feel, enhancing precision during play.
Moulded Foam Pods: Streamlined foam pods integrated into the boot's design dampen touch, helping you maintain composure and control.
Mixed Ground (FG/MG) Outsole: Features completely circular studs at the forefoot and blades at the toe and heel, providing versatile traction and agility on firm natural grass and artificial turf.

The Nike Tiempo Legend 10 Academy boots excel in situations requiring finesse and control. On the pitch, the FlyTouch Lite upper means you'll feel connected to the ball from the first whistle, allowing for immediate precision passes and confident dribbling. The 3D microdot touch zones and moulded foam pods work in harmony to give you that 'just right' dampening effect for receiving difficult balls or executing delicate touches, whether you're making 'shimmies in your own six-yard box' or delivering 'passes under pressure in midfield.'
The FG/MG soleplate is a significant advantage, providing reliable grip and agility on various playing surfaces. This means you can transition quickly, change direction decisively, and accelerate with confidence, making them ideal for dynamic players. The enhanced traction from the mixed stud pattern supports both linear speed and rotational agility for 'perfect finesse shots up front.' The focus on comfort with a cushioned insole and padded heel ensures that your focus remains on the game, minimizing distractions from discomfort, even during extended matches or training sessions.
The Nike Tiempo Legend 10 Academy boots require zero break-in time. This means they are comfortable and ready for peak performance right out of the box. Simply lace them up securely using the full lace closure to achieve a snug fit.
These boots feature an FG/MG (Firm Ground/Multi-Ground) soleplate. They are designed for optimal performance on:
Firm Natural Grass Pitches: Traditional grass fields.
Artificial Turf Pitches (AG/MG): Modern synthetic grass surfaces.
They are not recommended for use on soft ground (SG) or indoor (IC) surfaces, as this can compromise traction and potentially damage the boots or cause injury.
Proper care extends the life and performance of your boots:
Cleaning After Use: After each use, wipe off excess dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) as this can damage the materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Avoid Submersion: Do not machine wash or fully submerge the boots in water.
Refer to Label: Always refer to the product label inside the boot for specific care instructions provided by Nike. The composition is 'Upper: leather. Lining: textile. Sole: synthetic.'
