LEAKED: Nike Tech Craft Boots to Return in 2027
, by Chris
- Tech Craft Revival: Nike is rumored to bring back its Tech Craft boot series in 2027, according to a Hong Kong boot insider.
- Original Design: First launched in 2015, the Tech Craft collection combined modern Flyknit and synthetic uppers with premium kangaroo leather layers to offer both lightweight responsiveness and a classic padded touch.
- Material Shift: The anticipated 2027 revival will utilize Nike's synthetic leather technologies, like TechLeather, instead of the original kangaroo leather, which Nike has phased out.
According to a rumor shared by Hong Kong boot insider @boot_meister, Nike is planning to revive its fan-favorite Tech Craft series in 2027. The popular concept, which has been shelved since around 2020-21, was renowned for giving Nike's modern speed and control silos a premium leather treatment.
The Rumored Comeback of Nike Tech Craft
First launched in 2015, the Nike Tech Craft collection originally blended high-tech Flyknit and synthetic uppers with thin, premium kangaroo leather layers across silos such as the Mercurial, Hypervenom, Magista, and Phantom. Traditionally crafted at Nike's famed Montebelluna factory in Italy, the hybrid boots offered players the lightweight responsiveness of modern boots alongside the classic padded touch of leather.
The collection was eventually discontinued after Nike committed to phasing out kangaroo leather across its football boot lineup. The 2027 revival would bypass natural K-leather entirely, relying instead on Nike's current synthetic leather technologies - such as the TechLeather engineered for recent Tiempo models.
Footy Headlines cannot confirm this rumor yet, but hopes to be able to do so soon.
