It was a prank. Nike will continue the iconic Nike Tiempo Legend Boots in 2016, and will launch the much-awaited Nike Tiempo Legend VI Football Boots in December 2015. April fools!
It's over. After more than 20 years, Nike will stop making the widely popular Nike Tiempo Legend Soccer Cleats, according to exclusive Footy Headlines information. What's the future of Nike's leather football boots?

On July 17, 1994, Brazil and Italy battled for the 1994 FIFA World Cup in Pasadena, California. While all players shared the same dream of winning the title, ten players laced up in the same soccer boot - the Nike Tiempo Premier. Since then, the Nike Tiempo has become a football icon.
Nike to stop making the Nike Tiempo after more than 20 years
Last year, Nike celebrated the 20-years anniversary of the iconic Nike Tiempo Soccer Cleats with a limited edition Nike Tiempo XX Collection. The Nike Tiempo XX Boot Collection included a special Nike Tiempo Legend V Boot and a Nike Tiempo '94 lifestyle shoe.
In fact, the last new generation of the Nike Tiempo Legend Cleat was revealed in December 2013, when Nike launched the Nike Tiempo Legend V Boots featuring a premium Kangaroo leather upper. In early 2015, Nike revealed the classy Nike Tiempo Legend V Premium Boots with a classical fold-over tongue, exclusively made for Francesco Totti.
Nike to release leather Nike Hypervenom, Magista and Mercurial
As Nike will discontinue the Nike Tiempo Legend Boots, Nike will release leather versions for the cutting-edge Nike Hypervenom 2, Nike Magista Obra and Nike Mercurial Superfly Soccer Cleats. With the new leather cleats, Nike offers players a leather boot matching their style of play, and give players a greater selection of leather boots.
Some weeks ago, it already emerged that Adidas will stop making the Adidas F50 Adizero, Predator, Adipure and Nitrocharge Boots.

Uruguay Requests FIFA 'Legacy' Patch for Muslera's 2026 World Cup Kit
The Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) has formally requested that FIFA allow goalkeeper Fernando Muslera to wear the special 'Legacy' patch on his jersey sleeve during the 2026 World Cup. The patch is designated for players who have participated in five or more World Cup tournaments, a milestone Muslera is reaching with his inclusion in the 2026 squad.
Muslera was initially excluded from receiving the patch by FIFA because he did not register any playing time during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, despite being part of the official squad. His previous World Cup appearances came in 2010, 2014, and 2018. The AUF is now pushing for his recognition alongside other five-time tournament veterans such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Manuel Neuer, and Luka Modrić.
The 40-year-old goalkeeper is expected to start in Uruguay's opening match of the 2026 World Cup. If FIFA approves the request, Muslera's jersey will feature the 'Legacy' patch, marking his long-standing service to the national team across five different World Cup campaigns.
