Red Nike Tiempo Legend 9 2022 'Blueprint Pack' Boots Revealed - SG Player Edition Released
Update: The red Nike Tiempo Legend 9 boots from the Blueprint Pack have still not been officially launched. However, retailer Pro:Direct Soccer now have them available in a special "SG-Pro Player Edition" version. We expect the cleats to come out globally soon.
The SG-Pro Player Edition is identical to the regular editions of the cleats except for the outsole. It comes with the SG sole plate of the Nike Tiemp Legend 8 instead of the Anti-Clog one. This is the one worn by Nike's pro athletes.
Update: It appears that Nike will finally release the red Nike Tiempo Legend boots. They will be available in Japan from March 9, 2022 (via @futaba_soccer_world). The global release could be a few weeks later.
Update: We can leak the first picture of the top-tier red Tiempo Legend 9 Elite 2022 boots. The red Nike Tiempo Legend is part of the first 2022 Nike on-pitch collection.
Nike will bring back a classic red color for their Tiempo football shoe. They are part of Nike's first main collection of 2022.
Please note that the images show a "prototype" of the third-tier Nike Tiempo Legend 9 Academy version. The design of the final high-end cleats will be similar.
