NIKE GIVES FOOTBALLERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO

TAKE EVERY ADVANTAGE ON THE FIELD

The Tiempo Legend IV is a blend of innovation and classic craftsmanship that takes your game to the next level.

SINGAPORE – The Tiempo Legend IV is an expression of timeless quality. With seventeen years of craftsmanship, the Tiempo Legend IV embodies each attribute required for the Tiempo player who values a natural feel, a great fit and touch, giving the player the chance to take every advantage on-field.

The Tiempo Legend IV Elite features an ultra-soft and durable premium kangaroo leather upper, giving the player extra comfort, ultimate natural touch and control. The lightest Tiempo yet, the Tiempo Legend IV Elite weighs 20 grams lighter than its predecessor still made with the kangaroo leather upper. The new Tiempo combines the unmatched touch and feel of the boot with innovation – carbon-fibre plate, Flywire technology and improved stud configuration.

Enhanced vamp stitching further improves the softness of the upper and minimizes any overstretch, enhancing the softness of touch on the ball, while the new sockliner has been designed to cushion and retain shape. Superior support in the arch and heel leads to a more responsive boot to meet demands of player movement.

The ultra-light carbon-fibre plate remains flat, enhancing rigidity while avoiding stiffness, and a combination of rounded conical studs and two central blades offer critical and improved traction where players need it most. Each stud is purposefully designed and built to improve penetration and distribute pressure to make the best universal plate in the range.

Nike Flywire technology has been added and offers superior mid-foot lockdown, utilizing high-strength threads that act like cables on a suspension bridge, giving tremendous support while aiding the boot’s comfort and maneuverability. This revolutionary technology transform how footwear is engineered by reducing the amount of material required for the upper of a soccer cleat to the bare minimum without compromising on durability and support.

Building on the visual science of engaging peripheral vision, the iconic heel element on the Tiempo Legend VI Elite will be in white/orange reflective to create flicker in a Tiempo execution. This is further enhanced through the vibrant orange detailing to add to the engagement.

The Tiempo Legend IV will be available in stores in Southeast Asia from July 15 2011, and retails at SGD 489 in Singapore.

Debuting in the 1994 World Cup for the very first time, Nike took a gamble and signed ten Brazilian players and Paolo Maldini of Italy then to launch the Tiempo boot. It was a gamble that paid off. The 1994 Tiempo Premier boot was Nike’s answer to the classic boots already available. Its original design, worn throughout the 1980s and early 1990s inspired the sleek look and narrowness of the ’94 model, further enhanced
