You've probably heard, the Tiempo is no longer kangaroo leather! In fact, it's no longer leather at all! This of course left the ball in Adidas' court, and they've now responded. While they're still not using kangaroo leather, the latest Copa models remain natural leather. So, given that they're still in the same category, which one is better?
In today's video we compare the Nike Tiempo Legend 10 Elite to the Adidas Copa Pure 2+. They battle of synthetic versus leather, even though both boots are supposed to deliver on that signature soft feel that both lines still promise. Aside from the obvious, what are the main feel and performance differences between them? I do my best to break all of that down, and help you decide whether you should be going "old school" with real leather, or "cutting edge" with full synthetic. Which one would you pick?

If Nike could’ve done a synthetic and leather Tiempo at the same time, that would’ve been so sick. Have two options like a “Tiempo Legend 10 Elite KL” and a “Tiempo Legend 10 Elite Flytouch” that way people could choose what upper they want. Same silhouette and sole plate, just different uppers.

[@STRIKAA313]

I’ve typically been checks over stripes, but with the Tiempo really regressing and the return of the Predator with the tongue, I might have to join Adidas

[@mohammadalikain7888]

i just did too

[@toyanaydin8248]

Literally my exact stance on this matter currently too

[@JannyLW]

Nike are in a no-win situation with the new Tiempo. It’s a great boot, but leather heads will ONLY play in real leather boots, so it almost doesn’t matter how good they are.

[@johnnnnyyy]

hi i just bought a pair of f50 adizeros from 2014 10/10 condition, but i am a bit worried about durability. i have read that boots from like 10 years ago break faster because they have just been sitting around for so long that the glue has stiffened. do you have any experience using older football boots? and do you think the fg stud pattern is suitable for modern ag pitches? thanks

[@caseyallen7517]

Ok I am sold, now can Adidas make an actual AG plate?

[@gabr131s9]

These new adi boots are a really great release. Look like the best modern leather option (lightweight, sturdy and great touch). Just wondering whoever owns these, is it better to go true to size or good to go half size down?

[@SL9]

Nike are dead wrong here. And I prefer nike over adidas 99% of the time.

[@martwofn]

Other 1% saved for Nike mercurials 🔥

Meh…they will be fine. People tend to get pissed off at change and then just move on in the end.

[@samuraibri]

As someone who loved the CTR360, I’m interested in the tiempo. I like leather but have never been a die hard leather guy. Not a dealbreaker for me. I just want a good pair of boots.

[@carlodanao8131]

The problem with the tiempo 10 is that it has a narrow and pointy toe in comparison to the ctr360 maestri III so the fit would be different

[@kinansleiman1060]

No way to compare these boots. Adidas copa 2+ one of the best boots in 2023 dude

[@RobLewis3]

I need some advice. I have an old pair of Nike mercurials with 12 eyelets on them. I'm going to buy a pair of laces, but how long should the laces be?

[@kristiansak]

Would love your thoughts on the new Copa Pure 2 Elite. How do they vary from the standard Pure 2 and 2+?

[@lvplt5003]

What boot do you think i should get having in mind im a kinda fast player but got wide feet(low budget)

[@user-wu7jx2cw8n]

If my size is 43 (27,5 sm). Which size for tiempo 10 is should match for me , as for you. will it stretch like natural leather or not?

[@Evilwombat]

As predicted he said both are good - too scared to say the Tiempos are mid AT BEST and Nike made a bad decision.

[@trolltracker]

He would be lying to just say those things. He's not scared. I own the tiempos and they're amazing

[@FBTRodz7]

​@@trolltrackerIt's not that the Tiempo 10 is a bad boot. The lack of a top leather option from Nike is what isn't being well received.

[@chanchaniceman]

⁠@@trolltrackerthey’re amazing in their own rights but if we’re comparing to what Nike used to have in the leather market it doesn’t have the tiempo heritage. Plus the lack of proper leather options is what makes people angry

[@user-mv7kh5sv9z]

Nike not only veered away from the Tiempo's legacy of a leather upper but the synthetic version is retailing at almost the same price point

[@yanders4285]

The tiempo silo is dead. It’s best to think of this boot as a new Nike silo altogether or a return of the Magista Obra. As a successor to the Opus 2 v2, (specifically the low cut k-lite version) it’s a really good boot imo. I personally find the toe box too narrow though. I’m hoping it’ll stretch a little with a couple more weeks of use.

[@chanchaniceman]

I find the legend 10 more in the lines of the ctr360 or magista opus specifically the version 2.

[@yovanilla]

Nike's mistake might have been not offering both the leather and the syn versions, at least for a phase-out period. But the sales will tell. They'll probably still sell tons. I personally stopped wearing leather bc I played a lot in damp conditions, but I miss the feels so maybe they are the ones for me anyway?

[@euroautodoovitez4773]

Which boots have more protection?

[@eddieyuen9748]

Unlike the vast majority of regular people here I am some of those people who choses Adidas over Nike in terms of Football, and this takes the cake.

Can you make a review on the CANTEBURY CCC SPEED INFINITE ELITE FIRM GROUND BOOTS - PURPLE.

[@will1323]

Glad I got the last leather tiempos before they moved to synthetic.

[@leo_zips]

When will they drop new copa colorways??? I like the blue, but would prefer a different color

[@athens9867]

Nike focusing more on how to sue Skechers

[@trolltracker]

Okay

[@chanchaniceman]

Don’t think the legend 10 holds a candle to any of the earlier tiempos but what a ctr360 or magista opus would be like in 2023 and beyond nor the copa pure is anywhere what adidas used to have with any of the 4 adipure models or the final 2 adipure 11pros however it’s very much it’s own thing that works kinda reminds you off mizuno rebula cup.

[@fernandoenriquez432]

Bro the adidas have a sick curve last time I had them hit the crossbar off a corner kick

[@thesuperstomper4776]

Adidas killed it here. I almost never prefer adidas over Nike but I certainly do here.

[@MoistSoundz]

Can’t go wrong with joining the future…. Death and torture of animals to enjoy ‘the beautiful game’ is not needed…. I once loved the feel of TIEMPOS like almost everyone but growing up you realise how unnecessary it is. New TIEMPO is a great step into a better world of tomorrow…. and tbf it’s not even a bad boot! It stands up against a lot of great boots even without the sustainability factors

[@elbassico01]

I bought the adidas predator absolute gold and got me pure grip socks pro blackout! can't wait! :D

[@Manecro]

New tiempos are horrible in my opinion. I couldn’t braked them in how I wanted. Now they are collecting dust

[@trolltracker]

Sell them to me. How did you have a problem breaking them in?? Please do describe lol They're ready out the box. They're much more water resistant than the 9s

[@Manecro]

@@trolltracker in my opinion they are just too plasticy . They don’t mould around your feet, they always stay same. For me they are stiff and I couldn’t brake them im even playing games in them for 90 minutes how I want them

[@chanchaniceman]

That’s one of the reasons that I do find synthetic upper boots annoying. You’re not guaranteed it’ll mold to your foot shape

Nike is absolute not making a mistake. It gives players and consumers another option. Nike using the new material to simulate leather’s softness and feel, they also avoid some of the disadvantage of kangaroo leather. It’s the way that people making innovation!

Lol tiempos are practically rally cars compared to the premier minivans. They're both drivable but one is superior.

The Copa wins by a landslide, nothing compares to a natural leather. That said, just save money and buy a better boot in the classic Copa Mundial. Full leather upper cannot be beat

[@trolltracker]

Lmao they definitely compare. They're superior if you routinely play in wet conditions. You do you tho

[@JonathanRodriguez-nz9nw]

@@trolltracker the Copas? Of course they are. There is a reason they still make them since 1980. And the Copa Pure 2 has the same water resistance as the Tiempos if you care about that sort of thing

My first Nike boot was the tiempo 9 after always being with adidas. I’ve now got the tiempo 10 and even though they’re different, I love them both! Watching the copa reviews is still making want to try them because of the leather! Looks like you’re not missing out regardless of whatever boot you choose

Why dont you review the Adler lineup ? Japan made K leather boots and half the price of Mizuno

[@hiddenleaf414]

As someone who wore k leather boots my entire soccer career I personally love the new Tiempos and the synthetic leather. They are comfortable and fit great. That’s all I care about these days.

Thank you! They're fantastic. I play in Florida and hate wet leather ....

They're really good boots, but go ahead and regurgitate what some people who also don't have them say

[@user-mv7kh5sv9z]

​@@trolltrackerI disagree, this is a mistake. I've been wearing the Tiempo from the 4s up to the 9s. The 10s are nowhere near its predecessors. Also, it's retailing at the same price point which is just a cash-grab at this pt with less manufacturing costs
