The most iconic boots in the game are getting a classy upgrade further cementing them in football boot folklore. Born in the legendary Italian factory, the longest reigning boot silo in Nike history just became even more legendary. Keep reading below to learn more about the Tiempo’s makeover and high quality craftsmanship from the Montebelluna factory. 

Not sure what makes these boots so special? Engineered in the iconic most illustrious Nike boot factory, each pair is hand crafted and specially made. Located in the heart of Montebelluna, Italy, boots at this factory are hand crafted and designed for the most legendary and iconic players of the game. Players like Kylian Mbappe and Cristiano Ronaldo get their boots from the most legendary boot factory in the game. Home to some of the best footwear artisans in the globe, many of these boots are custom made with a larger size range so players can get the most optimal and elite fitting boots in the game.

While the Tiempo Legend IX doesn’t get a total technological makeover, these special edition Made in Italy boots are taking on some new and updated features. The upper is taking on a soft and premium Alegria leather, rather than the typical K-Leather that the Tiempo has become home to. Nike has also left this leather untreated giving these boots the classic and super refined gray color. 

In a nod to the Nike Air Legend that came before it, these Tiempos also feature a newly refined sole plate. A chrome silver soleplate sets these boots over the edge and proves that these special edition boots are something you’re going to want to get your hands on. Also new on the boots are the Game Royal stitch lines that prove that these boots are quality crafted and more unique than any Tiempo before it. This Game Royal Blue also makes its way onto the swoosh pairing perfectly with the untreated gray Alegria leather. 

However, like we mentioned, these boots aren’t getting a total reconstruction. You still get the super soft foam pods on the upper that work to improve your touch and control on the ball. The adaptive mesh tongue makes its reappearance to keep you feet locked in and ready for action, while giving you easy entry into the boots. The soleplate is still in the latest lightweight Tiempo construction which means it’s ready to push you forward and keep you light on your feet, even during the game’s toughest moments. 

The longest running boot silo for Nike is finally taking the journey to Montebelluna and getting that regal finish it deserves. Born in the illustrious factory in Italy, these special edition Tiempo Legend IX’s are getting the star treatment this season. Details reflecting the factory and its handcrafted design are destined to give you the tools you need to have your competition begging for mercy.
