Nike Tiempo Legend 9 Boots

The Elite are the best Tiempo model you can get, with a premium K-leather forefoot, internal Quadfit system, midfoot Flyknit tunnel and Hyperstability soleplate. On top of that, the Elite Tiempo are playable with an artificial grass soleplate as well as Nike's Anti Clog soft ground plate, on top of the firm ground pair.

Like in other Nike silos, the Pro Tiempo offers an affordable but nonetheless great alternative in the form of a calfskin leather forefoot and just a slightly thicker TPU outsole, in fact the Pro Tiempo is one of the very best slight cheaper than Elite Pro Tiempo is also available in synthetic, turf, and indoor models. It also has the standard Nike SG soleplate which some prefer than the Anti Clog because of its lighter weight.

The Academy Tiempo is arguably the best Academy Nike boot given that it still has high-quality calfskin leather and almost the same tooling as the Pro, with just some minor adjustment. You can read our comprehensive review of the Academy here, in addition, they have multiple soleplates available aside from its default MG (mixed ground) variant, and those are Anti Clog, artificial, indoor, and 3G.

The entry-level Tiempo are where a considerable leather quality downgrade is observeable as it only has a synthetic leather material instead, you can get the Club Tiempo with multiground tooling, indoor, or, turf, but are best considered a kids boot.
