While Nike Discontinue Leather, Charly Release New Leather Football Boots, and It Brings Back Memories of Nike's Tiempo
From summer 2023, Nike will stop the use of kangaroo leather for their football boots, which mainly affects the Tiempo silo. Now Mexican brand Charly have launched their latest leather soccer cleat, and it could be a good alternative to Tiempo aficionados. Introducing the Charly Legendario 2.0 football boots.
The Charly Legendario soccer boots are endorsed by Mexican national team players Hector Moreno and Greta Espinoza.
It brings me back to the days of playing when I was younger
"These cleats are the real deal. Charly really created something special with this new Legendario 2.0. It brings me back to the days of playing when I was younger. The full grain leather really holds up well on the pitch,” said Mexican National Team soccer star Hector Moreno.

Check out the new Charly Legendario 2.0 boots below.
The new Charly Legendario 2.0 football boots have a "full-grain leather" upper. Charly do not mention which exact type of leather is used, but we expect it to be cow leather as it is "locally sourced" (and the boots are produced in Leon, Mexico).
Indeed, the whole upper and stitching of the Charly Legendario 2.0 2023 football boots remind us of the Nike Tiempo Legend 4 and 5 football boots, which are players' favorites back then.
The full-grain leather is used from the toe box to the heel cup. In addition, the Charly Legendario 2023 soccer cleats feature a breathable synthetic lining and a single-layer leather tongue.
Meanwhile, the TPU sole plate has a virtually identical stud configuration to the Nike Mercurial Superfly 6. This surely can't be a bad thing, as it is already top-level approved by Nike's best players.
Design-wise, the Charly Legendario 2023 football boots are very classic. The Legendario 2.0 is available in white, black, red, and gold with black.

Adidas Germany 'Alternate History' 1992 Collection Leaked
Update - Friday, May 22, 2026: Thanks to our follower @Julifu90, we have an image of the t-shirt of the Adidas Germany EQT 1992 retro collection. It is set to be released in the coming days.
We have the first image of a unique new Adidas Germany retro jacket, showcasing an intriguing new approach from the sportswear brand.
While the design instantly evokes strong nostalgia for the 1990s, this upcoming release is actually an "alternate history" creation. Despite its highly authentic vintage appearance and period-accurate details, this specific track jacket never actually existed in the official Adidas catalogues during the 1990s, making it a brand new addition to their retro-focused lifestyle collection.
To achieve this convincing old-school aesthetic, Adidas has utilized their classic 1992 template as the structural foundation for the design. The garment features a vibrant green base that heavily nods to Germany's traditional away kits of the era. The colors of the German national flag are cleverly completed on the sleeves through large geometric blocks that also recreate the 3 stripes.
The same jacket will also be released for Spain and other Adidas national teams.
