Nike Advertises Inexistent Nike TiempoX Proximo II
Jul 17, 2017, by Pat
As you'll know, Nike stopped the TiempoX Proximo model, the indoor and turf equivalent of the Tiempo Legend, with the release of the 7th generation this summer.
However, it looks like this wasn't a decision the company took lightly or a long time in advance, or how else can it be explained that Nike itself is advertising a k-leather featuring TiempoX Proximo II that cannot be bought anywhere including its own online store.
The shoe appears prominently on the Tiempo silo overview on Nike's website and is advertised as featuring a kangaroo leather / Flyknit upper that's on par with the Tiempo Legend VII - the TiempoX Finale II only has calf leather. The only thing that's identical between TiempoX Finale and the unavailable Proximo is the mid- and outsole.
A quick Google search turns up one store in Australia that is selling the shoe, at a price that equals approximately USD 150 (TiempoX Finale: USD 95). Though, most likely Rebel Sport does not really stock the shoe, and it was only added to its product database automatically before Nike killed it.
Nike had previously announced it would simplify its product catalog by getting rid of underperforming items. It looks like we're starting to see the effects of that in football, both with the simplification of the takedown offering and the removal of the TiempoX Proximo option.

Fortuna Sittard 26-27 Cup Kit Released - Sponsorless 1957 Tribute
Dutch Eredivisie side Fortuna Sittard and technical supplier Robey have officially revealed a special cup kit for the 26-27 campaign. Created in collaboration with design agency 51North, this release marks the very first dedicated cup kit in the club's history. It serves as a direct tribute to predecessor club Fortuna '54, who won the 1957 KNVB Beker with a memorable Bram Appel hat-trick against Feyenoord.
The Robey Fortuna Sittard 26-27 cup shirt faithfully revives the historic look with a white base highlighted by broad horizontal red and blue stripes across the chest, completing the Dutch tricolor. In true vintage fashion, the jersey comes with long sleeves as standard and features a retro polo collar. Club sponsors voluntarily stepped aside to allow a completely clean, sponsorless front, while the Robey branding and club badge are subtly embroidered in tonal white to maintain the authentic aesthetic.
Additional bespoke details round off the historic tribute. A heritage Fortuna '54 tag sits near the bottom hem, and an embroidered depiction of the KNVB Cup sits neatly below the back collar, added with official federation approval. The shirt is worn with matching white shorts and socks, completing a timeless look for Fortuna's cup run.
FIFA ASEAN Cup Features Same Left-Sleeve Kit Badge as in 2026 FIFA World Cup Final
The opening match between Laos and Brunei provided a full reveal of the sleeve patch pairing for the inaugural FIFA-organized Southeast Asian tournament.
Moving away from the previously expected navy blue, the official tournament patches feature a clean white base. Most notably, the "Football Unites the World" sleeve patch on the left arm is the exact same design that made a single, exclusive appearance at the recent World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina.
