When you hear footwear is made in Italy, you know it’ll be constructed with premium materials and craftsmanship. Although this is a rarity for sportswear giants like Nike, the brand has visited the country for multiple collections and special releases. 2025 will mark yet another Made in Italy Nike product, as the Tiempo Legend 10 Elite Luxe soccer cleat gets constructed in Montebelluna, Italy.
Montebelluna is well-known for its footwear manufacturing industry, with many elite and specialized outdoor and athletic sneakers produced in the city. Nike even has a team of craftsmen in the city who produce custom soccer cleats for the sports’ top athletes, going as far as producing pairs down to 1/4 and 3/4 sizes for precise fits. In 2022, the team created pairs of the Nike Tiempo Legend 9 Elite Luxe, with this Tiempo Legend 10 following up on this release.
Unlike the Legend 9, this pair opts for a rich burgundy red hue dubbed port wine for its primary shade, covering the premium leather paneling. Embroidered details along the toe harken back to classic Nike soccer boots, taking on a tonal finish that matches the leather and mesh portions of the upper. Metallic crimson red lands along the midfoot Swoosh and the Legend Tiempo logo on the heel, contrasting the port wine shades surrounding it.
Nods to Italy and Montebelluna are on the collar and insole, the former hosting an Italian flag tag and the latter coming with a custom Nike-branded crest for the city. Down below, the cleated outsole comes in a striking iridescent finish. This comes in a special box containing a custom leather pouch to carry the cleats.
The Nike Tiempo Legend 10 Elite Luxe FG Montebelluna Leather Port Wine is limited to 5,000 pairs and will release on January 30, 2025, through Nike. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is $265. Download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
