The Nike Tiempo series is all about combining classic kangaroo leather wth modern technology, so naturally, you'd expect every new model to be more and more advanced. Well, that's pretty much been the case up until very recently, where despite some clever marketing from Nike, the Tiempo Legend 9 is far more simple than the Legend 8. Dare I say, it's borderline "low-tech"!
In the name of determining whether or not Nike have actually improved with their latest generation of Tiempo, I compare the outgoing Nike Tiempo Legend 8 Elite to the new Tiempo Legend 9 Elite. Which version of the Tiempo concept is better? I try my best to talk you through the differences, to help you decide whether or not to upgrade to the latest model. Which Tiempo Legend do you prefer?

Same, I started watching when he wouldn’t talk and just show the shoe lol

[@Cole_L]

For anyone debating on getting the Legend 9’s. They’re VERY comfortable. So far they are my most favorite pair of boots that I’ve owned. There’s really no experience like these on the market right now

[@olzhastortpayev8053]

Hi I'm looking to get these aswell how are they Doing?

[@Bludmir_]

Always hated that diamond texture on the legend 8, so glad they shaped up on the 9

[@freedasouth7896]

When it breaks in and molds into ur foot the diamond pattern dissapears and then the whole shoe just turns into smooth kangaroo leather and it feels like the leather is hugging ur boot, I have 1 season in them and I think I can get one more great structure on the heel.

[@wabduwabadu]

@@freedasouth7896 so was it good or bad cuz I’m thinking of buying one of these either the 8 or 9….and I’m a winger

[@aidenrobinson4873]

Hey josh you reviews are so good

[@ibrahimel-rafie5239]

I don’t have the legend 9’s but I do have the legend 8’s and I absolutely enjoy them but the heel area mainly the collar keeps digging into my heel which kind of ruins them for me a little…

[@chanchaniceman]

Legend 8 maybe “technically” superior in terms of lockdown and responsiveness but prefer the simplistic approach of the legend 9 which definitely goes back to the legend 6 and 7. Still prefer from the tiempo legend 5 to 7 but legend 9 is definitely worthy it.

[@TheHeiky11]

Also, legend 9 elite molds to my feet within an hour but legend 8 pro took a couple of months to fit in. Personally, i felt 9 is better.

[@user-he5ib1xd8j]

Love your determination💫

[@diegoruiz6980]

Hey josh I would love to see a comparison from you of how nike have improved the flynit tecnology from the past 3 yrs

[@sebastianllamas1413]

“What Nike says isn’t always true” I was waiting for the “ACC” logo to pop up lol.

[@Priest2540]

I love these versus videos

[@ao3732]

You should do videos in the Legends or maybe other silos where older models are “actually better” than newer because they recycle ideas and tech. Is the iv elite better than the 7 pro? Is the V better than 9 elite? If these different models were made available side by side in real time which would you choose?! The comparison works better for this style but could work for others.

[@jakeround6702]

I have the legend 8 and I sometimes feel that the fly knit tunnel can be a bit uncomfortable for my feet so I’ve been looking at the legend 9s plus they look cooler anyways😂

[@tracker4854]

Legend 5s! please stand up if you still rocking that boot today!

[@blackcountryregista7689]

I much prefer my legend 8s. It shocked me to say it as I love old school leather boots so thought I'd prefer the simplicity of the 9s but they've used a totally different shape and it feels to me like the legend 9 runs a quarter size larger which I hate. I don't know if josh has noticed this too? 🤷‍♂️

[@cmjmc981]

Hey Jiggywitit, what do you think of those IMOTANA boots that allow one-to-one personalisation for the best fit and comfort? Is it the future of football boots?

[@thekickchannel16]

The legend 8's flyknit tunnel + quadfit system + stretchy laces give me foot cramps after a few minutes of use whenever I tie the laces tightly.

[@Panocw]

I have a pair of elite 9 ag. What do u think of ag studs? I think they are quite similar to hg but a littlllleeeeee more grip…

[@jarodwang5862]

Been a long time fan of the channel! I wanted to ask if you could review the Speedflow.1 AG since I live in the US and have had trouble finding AG boots but noticed recently Adidas is starting to sell them on their US site.

[@TheLateral18]

But the tiempo aren't on stock anywhere. I'm also looking for the AG version

Do you think you can do a review on the Adidas Copa Kapitan.2? Heard its got a kangaroo leather and wondering how it plays out compared to the Copa Sense.1

[@lentner3]

When are we going to see a review of the allure boots? Been waiting to see if they are worth the money. A few blackout versions seen being worn on the lowdown by some footballing legends so they must be good. It’s all about the leather baby!

[@eliasbarrera3049]

anyone know where i can get the Legend 8 elite in a size 8 us??

[@scottrolen27mvp]

Hey josh. You should do a review of the Nike MG ground. It’s supposed be something that can be used in FG, AG. I think that the idea is probably a terrible but I don’t want to buy it to find out haha. Plz do a review of these shoes

[@EqRlik22]

Josh, please do a review on the copa kapitan.2 fg model

[@HappyMadSad]

Just swapped from wearing preds my whole life - 5 - 31 - and do not like the way they have taken that boot, bought some tiempo 9s a friend recommended, jesus these boots are comfy, out the box, 10/10

[@lukashalmo7628]

Hi Josh, hore would your compare tiempo stud pattern to something like Phantom gt or predator freak ? I currently have legend 8 but I am looking for something more agressive and I cannot fit in mercs because i have wider feet. I find tiempo stud to be just little bit shorter than other options from Nike and when it gets just a little bit wet it looses some of its bite.

[@lachiee.s]

Go for the Phantom GT! Perfect for wide feet and great traction, not quite as aggressive as the Merc but still has some bite to it. Predator Freak has a super tight midfoot so I’d be cautious if you have wide feet! - @TheBootChef

[@lukashalmo7628]

[@upsum359]

it’s all about preference i don’t have the tiempo 7 but i have the tiempo 9 i love them but my brother got phantom gts and i liked the hose a little bit more

[@barrymurphy4430]

Legend 7 pros have the elite leather upper so I’d go with them better boot in my opinion

[@simonbiggit6475]

Imo the tiempo legend 7 pro is one of the best takedown models ever made, they are so similar to the elite model except the quality of the leather so I'd definitely go for them personally

[@zerovein1407]

Pls do another authentic football shirt review for this season as I would like to see if adidas have made any improvements

[@smelltheflowers3049]

I have the legend 8's now and at first they felt way too padded, after a few wears and matches they feel more traditional if that makes any sense.

[@smelltheflowers3049]

also, if you aren't locked into the shoe properly they'll bite your ankles.

[@civic1285]

Foam pads are worthless and lock down is far worse on the 9. I’m hoping I enjoy the Mizuno better given the price tag

[@aheheturkiet2041]

Is the legend 9 (club) good

What are you talking about bro. If they can use these in the premier league you could use them in any league, don’t you reckon

I do not buy nike boots online anymore, because their sizing is all messed up and I got shoes that were too small way too often.

Yesn’t

[@Shuddho1980]

Talking about lightest tiempo ever,I think when Joshinsky weighed the legend 7s, they were lighter than the weight here for the 9s, but a whopping 2-3 grams 😃 It would also be interesting for Jessie to compare the 7s vs 9s for those of us who skipped the 8 😄. Those 2 anyway seem closer in approach than the 8 with its layered approach.

[@buluc_itzamna4393]

Custom ID?

[@devantelewis6774]

Won’t lie, legend 7 is still the best tiempo (4 and 6 right after). The leather isn’t up to Nike’s standard, heel fit could be deeper/taller, and there’s no reason why it doesn’t have a flyknit tongue like the legend 7 or phantom vnm.

[@CristianoRonaldo-hr7su]

Lol 7 bruh

[@hectors7088]

Do the legend 9 fit longer then legend 8?

Sizing is the same, although the toe box is wider and more rounded on the 9.

@@Soccerreviewsforyou alright thank you

[@HeGetsTheBluesExcited]

Don't buy 9's to play on artificial grass. The rear spikes are different in comparison with 8's so they broke and fell off three of my friends. I play in 3rd 8's in a row and did not have this problem.
