The boot that has lacked technology and change over the years has been the Tiempo series, which is weird because Nike Soccer has always been one to push the limits of technology and the color of their boots. However, the Tiempos have not had a face lift in terms of technology until now. The Tiempo IV will feature fly wire and also receive a face lift to make it look more like a stream line elite speed boot.
Until now like the Vapor series, Nike has only changed the outsole and color of the Tiempo series. The new Tiempo IV with the combination of a kanga lite upper along with fly wire on the inside and outside of the boot will drastically be changed. In my opinion, Nike should have kept the Tiempos series the same and called this boot another name and introduce another style to their boot line.
In the end, with the combination of technology and if Nike decides to go all out and put a carbon fiber outsole on this boot I am betting it will retail at over $300 which will be a bust in the market because adidas has found the perfect price for boots at around $150 for the adiZERO which has been a big hit.
What do you think about the boot?
