Dive into the heart of controversy with me, your go-to Boot Wizard, as we unravel the mystery behind Nike's bold move away from K Leather in the Tiempo Legend 10 Elite. What am I talking about? The football boot community is in uproar, and I've had enough of it. It's time for a no-holds-barred review that cuts through the knee-jerk reactions and gets down to the nitty-gritty. Is Flytouch Plus a worthy successor, or have we lost the essence of what makes a Tiempo... a Tiempo?
Through rigorous testing and a sprinkle of that Boot Wizard special analysis, I'm peeling back the layers on this synthetic enigma. From its "leather-like" texture to its performance on the pitch, I'm leaving no stone unturned. But wait, there's more! What could Nike have done to dodge the bullets of backlash? And why, oh why, is this boot not in the boot of the year conversation?

Hated them until I have bought and tried them on for the first time. Phenomenal boots.

[@BootWizard]

Absolutely agree. They're always in my bag right now.

[@amritgurung668]

how's the breathability on them? Its a synthetic boot so, does your feet get sweaty over time?

[@BootWizard]

@@amritgurung668 no better or worse than any other boot I've used in recent times

[@jeffhallii7907]

I absolutely love these boots! They’re not a Tiempo but they are like a ctr360 which was my favorite boot of all time. Great video!

[@BootWizard]

Thanks for watching. Glad you're enjoying them

[@karlanatividad8678]

enjoyed playing in these. they’re always in my bag. the AG sole plate are the best for me.

[@BootWizard]

I haven't actually tried the AG but I've heard good things

[@bootcastpod]

Love your thoughts at the end James. The Tiempo name hurt this boot the most. Based off your take I think I will go back and give these another try. Great vid as always!

[@BootWizard]

Appreciate you watching guys. Can't wait for the next episode

[@varelaiazul817]

Yeah, about the break in period. Really like the straight forward phrasing in the video. But you know. A lot of Nike's more recent boots that I have tried all share this, how short or in some cases the lack of a break in time there is. Phantom Venom, GX 1, Vapor 14, and Legend 9, I was good to go out of the box. Vapor 15 and Legend 10 just needed a short session in them. Perhaps it's just my foot, how it's shaped, width and volume. Still Nike gets props from me for how easy their boots are to break in nowadays. At least for me. In the past the Vapor 9, X, 11, 12, 13, Legend 8, and Superfly 4, 5 took over a week to break in and feel game ready for comparison. Only needed one quick wear for the Legend 7 though.

[@BootWizard]

I agree, on the whole the Nike silos have been really good recently in terms of break in time, they're close enough to good to go out of the box. I found the Mercurials took the longest to get going but still not excessive.

[@erickdiaz3437]

I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about these lately. A teammate has them and asked him to wear them a couple sessions to give my own opinion about them. They’re very standard. I don’t think they’re uncomfortable but they weren’t the most confortable thing on my feet. The upper does not stretch and mold as leather does. The soleplate is the same so no complaints about that. I know they’re a teammates, but I’ve done that before, and get them brand new and the experience is the same. So, for me, the Tiempo 10 is far if compared to the Tiempo 9, even if you change the name (to CTR) I would think the same. Heavier, water absorbing, and overstretches, but nothing can really top a good K-leather upper.

[@BootWizard]

You're right about it not moulding, that's absolutely one of the downsides of not having k leather, it's not going to do the same thing. I still think it's a great boot, but everyone is going to have different opinions on boots for sure.

[@ChanceBerryman]

I just got the lemonade colorway in today. Coming from a K leather Adidas boot, I love the softness and the grippy-ness of these. Just breaking them in around the house today. So far so good.

[@BootWizard]

Glad you're enjoying them. I'm a big fan. Hopefully they work for you on the pitch too.

[@aszneevevo3172]

was debating about buying the lemonade colored AG tiempo 10’s. This video sealed the deal

[@BootWizard]

Hope you enjoy them. Great colour too. If I'm not being too cheeky, if you could check out the prices in the links in my top pinned comments it would be appreciated, helps support the channel without affecting how you buy. Of course if you can find them cheaper elsewhere then absolutely go for that, I'm not a monster 😂😂

[@g4mer_4rmy51]

Great Video thank you! Greetings from Germany🎉

[@BootWizard]

Thank you for watching. :)

[@chanchaniceman]

I always say they’re more of a continuation of the ctr360 rather than the tiempo. The boots cannot be compared to any of the previous tiempos and I say it’s not fair to say “they’re not great.” They’re very much their own thing and I always say to people if you love ctr360 or magista opus 1 or 2(version 2) you’ll love the legend 10

[@BootWizard]

I think that's a pretty fair assessment overall. I'd back pretty much that whole statement

[@dsanchez9703]

Love this colorway brother.

[@BootWizard]

Yeah me too, big fan.

[@derbyyank13]

Some bold claims! Great review!

[@BootWizard]

You know me, go big or go home 😂😂.

[@derbyyank13]

@@BootWizard Haha

[@andrewc9524]

Not impressed by the current colourways, but looks like there’s an awesome grey colour way coming out in a few months. Might have to try them out!

[@BootWizard]

That's fair enough, I really like this colourway and I was a big fan of the golden touch as well, but colourways are so subjective, grey does sound like a win though

[@user-yn6pv8vd5n]

I’ve tried the new predators on and I love the hypertouch 2.0 upper but i personally dont like grip elements on my boot. Would you say that flytouch+ on the tiempo 10 feels like or is similar to hypertouch?

[@BootWizard]

They are quite different, although you could argue that FlyTouch + is softer and nicer.

[@DD-jx9jd]

Great review

[@BootWizard]

Thanks a lot. Appreciate you watching

[@deippati]

Do u feel like there is any stretching at all? I got a pair in my normal size and the length feels perfect but they feel quite tight right out the box around the forefoot. I like a tight fit so just a slight strech in width would make them perfect for me, cheers! Great review btw! :)

[@BootWizard]

They will stretch a little, there's a little elastic type sensation at points but don't expect much.

[@owendylan]

I got the Pro version and they are awesome!! Very comfortable and a very good touch.

[@BootWizard]

pro version are a really great option here, you've grabbed a great boot at a bargain.

[@swagflag7168]

Great review! I got the Legend 10 Pros, and for some reason the very top of the heel of the boot digs into the back of my ankle, causing discomfort. Any advice?

[@BootWizard]

That is not ideal. A solution I've used before is to tape the ankle to avoid the discomfort until the boot breaks in and is soft enough that it doesn't hurt anymore.

[@WaterWizardUK]

Actually kinda like the look of these! Your on the money if you forget about wearing them that’s high praise indeed 🙌

[@BootWizard]

I don't think you'll forget about wearing them, apparently every boot you wear invades your feet somehow 😂😂

[@WaterWizardUK]

@@BootWizard mean but extremely accurate 😂😂

[@Panag10t15]

I'm going to buy the elites but, i don't know if i should take the FG or AG... I Play 2/week on AG and 1/week on FG. So, what's your opinion? Thnks

[@BootWizard]

Depends how nice your FG is. If you've got really nice FG the AG will work. If not, probably FG all around

[@feederchua]

I think the lack of leather/wrong name hurts this tiempo alot more than nike realises. I've tried on the boot and it was nice, nor boot of the year category for me but defo something id consider for my rotation. The problem is thst the boot has no character. When you put it on, it just feels like generic synthetic boot 1.0. which is fine if its a leather boot because you expect that somewhat. But when its a synthetic boot, i dont think it's wrong to expect more and thats where this legend falters for me. Name change would have at least stopped people from talking about its qualities vs a leather boots qualities Imo.

[@BootWizard]

I think some really solid points there. And like you say, comes a lot back to the marketing. Change the name and a lot of the problems go away. I like your take on the issues though.

[@user-ge8mi2bn3n]

How are these holding up? Any issues with the soleplate cracking? I had the Tiempo 10 Pro AG and they cracked after 3 weeks.

[@BootWizard]

No problems for me so far

[@khelgarironfist3301]

Soleplate seperation has been a huge issue for me with 9 and 10 FGs. But never had cracking

[@GoodWillRacing]

No Leather No Party My fat ass foot couldn’t fit in those (or any synthetic) even if I wanted to. Mizuno all day 👌🏼 Cheers

[@BootWizard]

Haha, absolutely fair enough.

[@AntonioDiaz]

Can’t wait for them to come out with the next generation of this boot

[@BootWizard]

Me too, Very interested

[@gabrieleaurilio370]

Better the Tiempo legend 10 or Copa Pure?

[@BootWizard]

I've only briefly used the pure, so limited evidence but I did prefer the Tiempo.

[@shawnmakura130]

When’s that f50 vid coming 😢out

[@BootWizard]

As soon as I have the boots. They're in transit at the moment. Hoping to have them today or at the latest tomorrow

[@poetanderson3]

Great video as always! While I agree that the naming of this boot is where Nike went wrong, I have to disagree on naming it CTR360 would’ve been any better. I don’t think that name really has any weight to it with kids or current boot wearers. I think coming up with something completely new & different would’ve gotten the hype this boot wanted

[@BootWizard]

I think the CTR does have some weight, although you're probably right, a lot if not all younger wearers probably don't care that much. A new name might have been the way to go. Thanks for watching. :)

[@wyw9090]

I find it very narrow for my liking... i've been using it for 10+ games but midfoot still gets some hot spot after 30minutes ish. I wish the tongue was a bit more forgiving to give more generous fit.

[@marek_2578]

What about durability?

[@BootWizard]

I'm about 4 hours in to testing and no issues for me so far.

[@khelgarironfist3301]

@@marek_2578 Soleplate seperation has been a huge issue for me with 9 and 10 FGs. (pro and elite both)

[@Geggo1611]

Don't get why Nike doesn't use kangaroo leather. Kangaroos are abundant in Australia, they are not farmed but hunted in the wild and need to be shot anyways just like deer in Europe. And if it's about vegetarianism: maybe start with the dozens of leather sneaker models they sell millions of... It's for cutting costs.. isn't it, Nike?

[@BootWizard]

It's a big debate the Kangaroos, should they be shot and killed for leather situation, I'll make a video on it at some point, it's a really huge subject that requires a lot of information to discuss correctly especially when starting to take into account environmental impact as well, plastics and oil vs leather tanning etc, huge huge topic. There might indeed be an element of cost cutting that's for sure, it probably also has something to do with the bill that Oregon looked to pass, banning kangaroo leather being used, I imagine with that being where Nike are headquartered they were anticipating complications that they were trying to get ahead of. It didn't pass, but it might in the future, better to look like you did it for the environment than you were forced to by a law.

[@poetanderson3]

Bingo. Plus it’s more about moral grand standing for them. Makes them look more “eco friendly”

[@BosGaurus05]

They could move to cow leather or goat leather because people eat cow and goat while kangaroos are not consumable

[@BootWizard]

@@BosGaurus05 this is true, I think that they're trying to lean into the sustainable angle though.

[@brendanwalkley5494]

@@BosGaurus05people eat Kangaroo meat in Australia and elsewhere. Also their are definitely parts of Australia where Kangaroos do need to be culled their numbers are so high.

[@cfcjayden]

anyone else think that they look super long looking down from the top?

🤔🤔🤔

[@andrewpalmer1873]

Such a good boot, a solid 8/10 in every category

[@BootWizard]

Very accurate assessment 💪

[@SOMEGURD]

i hate these shoes not because its not leather but its just uncomfortable i dont play football in them i play rugby league in them and they just kill my feet sure they comfortable for a bit until you ether stop running or you run in them for a bit and also my small toe just rubbed up against the inside of the shoe and the insole is the only Cushing as below the insole is hard plastic this is why i hate these boots.

[@BootWizard]

I'd say that's just a case of your foot shape not being right for the boots. It happens. Always a shame when it does but just how it goes unfortunately.

[@SOMEGURD]

@@BootWizard thanks mate when i buy another pair of footy boots i will have this in mind.
