NIKE TIEMPO LEGEND IX SG-AC “MONTEBELLUNA”

The Tiempo Legend IX ‘Made In Italy’ has been constructed from the most premium Algeria leather. The leather is untreated, which gives the boot its distinctive grey colour. That’s then joined by chrome in the soleplate as a nod to the Air Legend’s grey and silver plate. Strong stitch lines standout across the upper, while that trademark Swoosh flies from the heel down the lateral side in blue. And checking that heel, you’ll find a nice callout to Montebelluna itself, along with a small Italian flag tab. Montebelluna, dwarfed by the nearby Dolomites mountain range in the Southern Alps, houses only 30,000 people but is home to some of the worlds best expert cobblers. A small team who live and breathe Nike, their days are spent carefully crafting elite Nike boots, often for the world’s elite players. See, this is where the world's best players get their boots custom-made, with 1/4 and 3/4 sizes created to ensure that perfect fit, and no last the same. It’s the home of Nike's master craftsmen, and the birthplace of some of Nike's biggest hitters over the years, so when we say that the Tiempo Legend IX ‘Made In Italy’ really is a premium special edition worth note, you know we mean it.
