Product description
Andrea Pirlo is widely regarded as a man of pure class, elegant style and a hedonist in a league of his own. Furthermore he is recognized as one of the best, if not the best deep lying playmakers of all time. In italian this role is known as a “regista”, and Pirlo is as mentioned recognize as an absolute world class player with a passion for the beautiful play - matched equally by his passion for quality wine. Pirlo is known as a wine connoisseur, a passion founded in his upbringing in the north italian town of Flero - where he spent many hours helping out in the vineyards. This passion for quality wine has made Pirlo and his family to open their own company “Pratum Collor”. Nike pays tribute to this living legend, with this boot that combines boths his passions - wine and football. In honor of part of Pirlo’s legend, Nike has given the boot a deep red color - named Merlot. The boots has a cork inlet sole with the phrase “Aged since ‘94” - a tribute to legacy of Tiempo and the wine making proces. Like in the “Pratum Collor” logo - the heel cap and outsole features 4 gold stars, symbolizing Italy’s four world cup titles. On the tip of the laces, you can see the Italian “Tricolori”. The boot case is similar to the one of the one used for wine bottles.

New alegria kangaroo leather upper
The upper is made from the extremely soft and flexible Alegria kangaroo leather, without the classic seams and stitching on the forefoot. These had previously been causing a bit of issues for the leather upper, as dirt and water could be absorbed, causing the leather to set hard. Therefore, Nike have developed an internal framework that allows the kangaroo leather to offer the same unique stability and lockdown effect as the offered by the previous generations, however now with all the advantages of a seamless upper. The new upper has naturally also been given the ACC treatment, similar to all the other Nike top boots, which ensures a dominating touch regardless of weather conditions.
New tongue less construction
Nike have really worked with this upper, which is also the most important element on a leather boot. The biggest and possibly most important change is the new no tongue construction on the Tiempo Legend 6. The tongue and the lacing are now implemented into the upper, resulting in an even cleaner upper and strike area; in addition to the increased comfort and better protection compared to earlier.
Moulded heel and two-split construction
Similar to the previous generation, the Tiempo Legend 6 also comes with the same two-split kangaroo leather construction and Nike's leather emulating Kanga Lite material. This delivers a more stable and protective heel, as well as better lockdown effect. The heel has also been given an update and is now molded in order to further increase comfort, as well as to provide better protection in this exposed area. The combination of the kangaroo leather on the forefoot and the Kanga Lite around the heel area results in good freedom of movement and stability in those areas where your foot needs it the most.
Lunarlon-sole for a optimal shock absorption
The sole on the TiempoX is made from Nike’s well-known Lunarlon material, which is designed to give you maximum shock absorption. The material is also seen on Nike’s running shoes, where the demands for shock absorption are high. The soft Lunarlon midsole gives a lightweight comfort. Furthermore, the unique combination of effective shock absorption and feathery reaction gives you the best possible starting point to perform on the highest level possible. The outsole is designed to give a good grip to the surface and ball, so you have maximal control on the smallest areas. The hard rubber gives the sole a better durability.
This indoor shoe has a non-marking sole and is for polished indoor surfaces.
