Nike Tiempo Legend VII Elite

Description

What pops into your head when you here the words Nike Tiempo Legend? For me and for most other people it would be Kangaroo Leather, a nice traditional feel and a great touch on the ball. Well you get all that and more with the latest silo in the Tiempo line-up this time round. What Nike have done is they've taken the construction of Legend VI in regards to the way it fits and feels and they've simply made it better. The way in which they've done this can only be described as true Nike fashion, they added a whole lot of tech. However, this isn't meaningless tech, it legitimately improves the performance of the boot. This is quite possibly one of the most high tech boots we've ever seen from Nike and it came as a Tiempo, I know it's a weird one but it's an amazing one too.

When it comes to performance the Legend VII trumps the Legend VI in every way possible. Nike have given us the softest kangaroo leather that I've ever experienced on a football boot. The touch you get on the ball is fantastic. Unlike the Legend VI it's not a overly bulky sloppy feel on the ball but a soft padded true leather feel that also offers you insane comfort through out the match. These are also one of the most responsive leather boots I've ever worn. This is down to Nike's internal support cage that runs through the fore foot area of the boot just under the Kangaroo leather but divided from it using a thin layer of this soft mesh-like material. Another factor that helps the responsiveness is the Hyperstability sole plate used on this boot. It's the thinnest sole plate seen on any Tiempo but still has enough rigidness to it to avoid stud pressure which was a common issue on the previous Tiempo lines. The mid foot area is made up of Nike's Flyknit material, the first time we've ever seen this on a Tiempo. To be honest I feel like Nike could have went with a regular synthetic material for this and it would still feel the same, the Flyknit just isn't that noticeable at all. Yet another new addition to the Tiempo is it's now a one piece construction with the addition of a full Flyknit tongue that runs right the way through to the toe box area. This is one of my favourite additions as it makes the boot more comfortable and wraps your foot really nicely. There's also the addition of Flywire cables first three lace holes to hold your foot tightly in place all game.

In conclusion the Nike Tiempo Legend VII Elite is the most high tech Tiempo ever to be released by Nike and the best performing too. They're light, responsive and offer a soft touch on the ball while still maintaining a true traditional feel that every Tiempo should offer. I would definitely recommend you this boot if you've been wanting to try a leather boot for a while but are worried about that sloppy old school feel because you won't get that with these tech packed silos. This is the best high end football boot I've ever worn and is my go to if I'm playing an important match, have training session or even just playing a pick up game.
