Confirming previous leaks, Nike today released something very special for all boot connoisseurs - a Tiempo Legend soccer cleat made in Italy.
The special Tiempo Legend 9 football shoes from Nike are made in Montebelluna, Italy. It is the factory in which the cleats for Nike's athletes are being made since 1996.
There have been a few public releases made in Italy like the Tech Craft Pack but none in the past few years. The last Montebelluna release was the Nike Hypervenom 3 GX in 2017.
