The fifth generation Nike Tiempo Legend will succeed the popular Legend IV - a boot that's been on the market since mid 2011. The much anticipated Tiempo Legend V has been in the making for the best part of two and a half years and will become Nike's most advanced heritage-based boot yet.
Barcelona defenders and long term Tiempo players Gerard Pique and Carles Puyol gave us a good look at their personalised boots, while Cesc Fabregas also gave us a glimpse at his PUMA evoPOWER prototypes - a boot that's expected to land in the new year. 
The vivid two-tone design creates a unique look that sets the Tiempo Legend V apart from previous generations. The outstep and forefoot of the boot has been given an off-white colouring, while the contrasting instep is plastered in a bright orange and the tongue is coated in a metallic silver. A unique design that when seen side-by-side creates the look of odd boots.
