The World Cup is taking over sports, fashion, and sneakers this summer, and with the weather starting to turn, the anticipation for the global tournament is reaching a fever pitch, especially at shoe companies. For Jordan Brand, that means a rare crossover into soccer with a pair of elephant print takes on Nike’s most popular indoor footy boots and performance cleats.
The Jordan Tiempo Maestro Elite SE Infrared 23 is a Jumpman take on one of Nike’s latest performance soccer cleats, trading the concentric circle design of the OG version for a zoomed-in elephant print texture inspired by apex predators native to Brazil across the upper in monochrome Infrared red. A hit of traditional elephant print design is added to the arching side panels with a black Jumpman logo in the middle.

Underfoot, an iridescent blue color-changing set of spikes is ready for quick cuts on firm grass, keeping the performance fit and traction of the Maestro Elite intact. The pitch-ready cleat joins the Jordan Streetgato in the Jumpman’s new soccer collection with the Brazilian Football Confederation, with the indoor pair arriving in a grey mix of traditional elephant print and the apex predator print to match.
The Jordan Tiempo Maestro Elite SE Infrared 23 will be released March 13, 2026 through Nike and select Jordan retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $275. For all the latest Jordan news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
