Just Spotted – Nike Tiempo Classic Lite

I spotted these while browsing today. If you are looking for an authentic boot with a modern look the Nike Tiempo Classic FG Lite might be the answer. I am a huge fan of the stylish yet sophisticated White/Seaweed/Red version (image above.)

There are several aspects of the boot I like. First off is the price as you can get these at a really decent price at the moment. I have not tested them but as with all boots in the Tiempo range, they will give you great responsiveness as well as value for money. Second thing is the tongue, which has been cut off at the ankle. This gives the boot a different look, in my opinion it actually makes them look a little more streamline. One thing that is interesting about their design is the fact Nike use what is called a Ronnie leather. Ronnie is a very soft and supple calf skin leather that offers exceptional comfort and control.  They weigh in at a decent 10.2oz, not quiet in the speed range but they are lighter than the likes of the Adidas Predator, which weighs in at 11.2oz.

Without testing them I really can’t tell you how they perform, so if you have worn them feel free to leave a comment below. As I said above, I think the most impressive part is the price, as you can currently get both versions for around $99. If you are on a budget and want to stay around the $100 mark then these might be a very suitable option to look into.
