Nike Tiempo Legend VI Academy Pack Boot Released
In a surprise announcement, Nike just unveiled an all-new Academy Pack edition of the Nike Tiempo Legend VI. Coated almost entirely in black, the all-new Nike Academy Pack Tiempo Legend 6 cleats will be available shortly.
The original Nike Academy Pack was launched in April 2015 and proved very popular amongst football players. So popular that it was even re-issued, including an first-ever Academy Pack edition of the Nike Hypervenom II, in September 2015.
Nike Tiempo Legend VI Academy Pack - Black
This is all-new blackout Nike Tiempo Legend 6 Academy Pack edition.
Expected to be launched in limited quantities, just like its predecessors, the Academy Pack Nike Tiempo Legend 6 soccer cleats are completely black with the exception being the Tiempo writing and Swoosh on the sole plate, both of which are colored in one of Nike's favorite colors, Volt.
The Nike Nike Legend 6 2016 Academy Pack boots boast the same technological characteristics as previously unveiled colorways. The Nike Tiempo Legend VI cleat combines a super soft kangaroo-leather upper with a xray support skeleton that allows Nike to remove much of the stitching in the forefoot area of the boots.
The completely new Nike Tiempo Legend 6 Academy Pack football boots will be available in the Nike App from March 7, 2016 for an expected price of $210 (€210, £165). The Nike Hypervenom, Magista and Mercurial Academy Pack boots will be re-stocked as well.
Nike did not disclose (later) launches through other platforms and retailers, or whether this new roll-out of the popular Academy Pack will be available to purchase in the United States (the previous one was not).

Good or Bad? Rexona Armpit Sponsorship on 2026 World Cup Referee Shirts
Update - Tuesday, June 23, 2026: Following our publication, Rexona contacted us to provide additional context on the activation.
According to Ben Curtis, Global Brand Vice President for Rexona at Unilever, the sponsorship is intended to highlight fourth officials, who "may not always be the focus of attention but are at the centre of some of football's most intense and anticipated moments," as part of Rexona's "It Won't Let You Down" campaign during the FIFA World Cup 2026. "They need to remain cool and calm under pressure - That's exactly why this partnership is such a natural fit for Rexona."
The 2026 World Cup referee shirts feature one of the most amusing and strategic sponsorship placements seen in football. Deodorant brand Rexona has their logo positioned directly under the armpits of the match officials' jerseys, creating a highly contextual advertising opportunity.
The Rexona logo remains largely hidden during regular play but becomes clearly visible whenever a referee raises their arms to signal a free kick, award a penalty, or issue a card. This placement perfectly matches the deodorant product being advertised, resulting in a memorable piece of marketing on the sport's biggest stage.
While this specific placement has caught the attention of fans during the 2026 tournament, it is not entirely unprecedented. A similar concept was previously executed in Brazil, where Avanço deodorant sponsored the armpits of Corinthians. However, Rexona's execution at a World Cup brings the clever concept to a massive global audience.
