Nike Tiempo Legend IV Elite Football Boots - White/Green/Silver

When it comes to premium soccer shoes, few boots can stand alongside the Nike Tiempo Legend IV Elite. As we approach the final stretch of the European season, Nike have given their iconic football boot a fresh colour update that boasts the same levels of class and style we've come to associate with the Legend IV.

Anticipation has been high around the SB offices ahead of this Tiempo release! There's something extra special about any Tiempo update, and it's great to see the range looking stronger than ever. When it comes to old-fashioned performance mixed with modern innovation, there's nothing quite like the Tiempo IV Elite. 

The new Nike Tiempo IV Elite football boots sport a super-clean White/Green upper, making this the first Tiempo boot to feature such a colour combination. Set to be worn by Nike's prestigious Tiempo line up including the likes of Gerard Pique, Andrea Pirlo and Carlos Puyol, the new colourway will begin to hit pitches from Saturday 24th March.  

A modern boot for elite players, the new Nike Tiempo Legend IV Elite is a major leap forward in Tiempo design. A boot built around tradition, Nike have significantly updated the Tiempo - now weighing just 265g - to suit the modern game. The Nike Tiempo Legend IV is Nike's new interpretation of what a leather boot should be! 

Nike Flywire technology is the stand-out feature of the Tiempo IV Elite, adding both strength and suppleness. Flywire threads have been bonded to the leather without sacrificing any softness (and therefore touch). Flywire technology also reduces the layers of construction on the upper, keeping that famous Tiempo softness. Incredibly, a total of 56.50 meters of Flywire is used to create the Nike Tiempo IV Elite! 

The Nike Legend IV Elite is made of Premium Kangaroo leather, only available in the Tiempo IV Elite. The upper is made from the softest and strongest high performance k-leather available. The same premium leather was first used by Nike in the 10R collection. Now, for the Tiempo Legend IV Elite, further advancements have been made making the leather stronger and softer 

Vamp stitching on the upper is one of the key factors in providing the soft touch and feel the Nike Legend is famous for. The new diagonal stitching in the Tiempo Legend IV prevents the boot from over stretching while the clean minimal-stitched area at the front of the boot creates a clean surface for great touch.

The carbon-fibre plate, first introduced in 2010, remains in the Nike Tiempo IV Elite. Usually a boot will have another layer of infrastructure made of TPU, but the carbon-fibre has enough structure alone, taking the player lower to the ground and therefore giving the boot greater response.

The new White/Green/Silver Nike Tiempo Legend IV football boots are available to pre-oder now for those who can't wait any longer to get their hands on a pair! If you want to bag a pair of Nike's latest Tiempo colourway.

Nike CTR360 Maestri II Football Boots - Black/White/Orange

Nike throw another CTR360 colourway into the ring as one of football's fastest rising boots continues to take the game by storm! It's a familiar return to the previously featured black & white upper, now brought to life with pops of bright orange to make this boot another strong addition to the CTR360 Maestri II line-up!

Nike have returned to the same two-tone colourway scheme that has made the CTR one of the most instantly recognisable boots in the game. While the range took a temporary departure from this design for the last Dark Shadow/Volt release, the CTR is back to what made the boots so famous! Let us know what you think online, on Twitter & on Facebook. 

The Nike CTR360 Maestri's are still a relatively young boot range, only in their third ever football season, but in such a short space of time the CTR has become one of the most popular football boots on the market. The CTR360 range has seen a strong uptake from players all over the park whether their position is defence, midfield or attack. 

The dampening pods remain the stand out feature on the Nike CTR360 Maestri II football boots and are a key asset in achieving the theory of cushioning the ball and applying more boot surface area. The CTR360 has achieved numerous impressive performance reviews and with this exciting new color-way are sure to enjoy more on-pitch success! 

These new Nike CTR360 Maestri II boots are certain to have a strong on-pitch presence, with the bright orange colour highlights being the standing-out feature. Although we can't be sure of which players will adopt this footwear at the moment, with a list that includes Barcelona's Andres Iniesta, Manchester City's Mario Balotelli and Arsenal's Alex Song. 

The Nike CTR360 Maestri soccer cleats have gained quite a reputation for being one of the most comfortable boots on the market. The comfortable Poron insole remains from the original Nike CTR football boots, and Nike have further padded the heel and added a non-slip material to improve fit.

The obvious focus for the CTR360 range is control - aiming to deliver the ultimate performance boot for the creative engine of any side. Split into two to cover a larger surface area, the instep pads of the Nike CTR360 Maestri II enhance ball control and boost distribution through an innovative fin structure.

Control enhancements start from the ground up with the Nike CTR. The dual-density stud structure is quite a unique feature of the CTR's and is intended to enhance ball trap control. There's no question the unique stud configuration is a popular feature, as you very rarely see a player in the CTR360's with a customised sole-plate.

The new Black/White/Orange Nike CTR360 boots will be available to pre-oder from Monday 19th March. If you want to get your hands on a pair of Nike's latest CTR360 colourway.

Nike Mercurial Vapor VIII Football Boots - Mango/Grey

Nike has re-engineered the famous Mercurial range to unveil a boot with even better performance and a striking new appearance. A series that has been at the pinnacle of the game for over a decade returns with ground breaking innovation and cutting edge technology all wrapped up in a stunning Mango/Grey colourway. The wait is over...the Nike Mercurial Vapor VIII has arrived.

The Mercurial series is renowned for eye-catching appearances guaranteed to put you firmly in the spotlight and Nike's next generation Vapor is no different. With a debut Mango/Grey colourway the Vapor VIII comes packed with a striking new look for the likes of Ronaldo, Özil, Ribéry and Drogba.

For the 2012/13 season the Mercurial Vapor takes performance innovation to the next level with a totally re-engineered boot built for explosive speed. In typical Mercurial fashion the Vapor VIII is released in a colourway that does not shy away from attention and will be an unmissable sight when Mercurial's lead players unleash them onto the world stage from March 24th!

The outside of the Nike Mercurial Vapor VIII hosts a smaller swoosh to the previous Vapor, however no brand identity is lost as the striking new design features a distinctive swoosh on the instep of the boot as well as a visual signature on the heel, which stands out when placed on the Mango backdrop.

A sleeker and closer feel is achieved by a special toe-box reinforcer, increasing comfort around the toe. The new Vapor also features a thinner, stronger and lighter Teijin Microfiber with a suede-like finish, increasing ball control and touch as well as reducing the weight to 185g.

The Nike Mercurial Vapor VIII football boot has been redesigned to create a snug upper while locking down the foot and preventing unwanted movement, Nike's new Anatomic Last takes the fit of the boot to a new level of support and stability. This effect is enhanced by a more minimalist and softer heel counter, maximizing both comfort and fit.

The new Nike Mercurial Vapor VIII football boots deliver the ultimate in fit, touch and traction. A combination that has established the Mercurial as one of the greatest speed boots of all time. Nike recognise the modern game is played on a fine line and that one slip could be the difference between success and failure - traction is everything.

Twin studs at the back of the boot allow for a quick release from the turf and the asymmetric design of the stud configuration delivers an explosive start. Sharper blades have been introduced to the Nike Vapor VIII allowing for game changing acceleration.

Nike's leading Mercurial star Cristiano Ronaldo has already given the new Nike Vapor VIII his seal of approval “This boot is perfect for me. I can get an edge on defenders, knowing that the boot will give me the speed and traction I need without compromising support, control or, of course, style.”

You will be able to pre-order your pair of the new Mango/Grey Nike Mercurial Vapor VIII football boots from March 20th at selected retailers.

The explosive launch of the Mercurial Vapor VIII is Nike's biggest statement of intent for many years! The worlds most iconic speed boot has been overhauled in a move to help reclaim its position as football's deadliest soccer shoe. The eyes of the boot world will be on Neymar, Ronaldo and co. as the Mercurial Vapor heads into a new era.

Nike T90 Laser IV KL Football Boots - Soar/Black/Silver

There's a new T90 in town. Nike have landed what could go on to become one of the most popular colourways in the Laser IV range - the new Soar/Black/Silver Nike T90 Laser IV football boots. Sporting a catching bright blue upper, the latest creation from Nike's design studios might be just what Fernando Torres needs to recapture some goal-scoring form!

Nike may not have told Nando directly, but we're sure they're hoping the Chelsea striker can begin to reach the same heights than previously saw him become one of the lead faces for the T90 range! Take a look at Nike's latest release and let us know what you think online, on Twitter and on Facebook.   

The new Soar/Black/Silver colourway can't do any more harm to Torres' goal scoring form and will certainly be a better fit to Chelsea's home colours. And after all, Nike have put him in red boots for the majority of this season! Torres has always been a fan of leather boots and since the introduction of the Kanga-Lite T90, has moved into Nike's lighter and more advanced alternative.  

The Total 90 Laser range has always been divided between those players who prefer a synthetic upper, such as Wayne Rooney, and those who prefer to wear leather, like Fernando Torres. But so confident are Nike in the performance of their synthetic Kanga-Lite material, that they've substituted it in to replace the Kangaroo leather. 

From the early days of the first T90 Laser, Nike's T90 Laser boot has fast become a key weapon for some of Europe’s highest profile players. Wayne Rooney, Wesley Sneijder and Rio Ferdinand all headline a a player roster that highlights the boots versatility. As the T90 continues to evolve, Nike are starting to position the boot as a strikers choice with goal-scorers including Alexandre Pato switching to the boots. 

The new TPU stud arrangement combines with toe and heel secondary traction. This design allows for superior structural reinforcement and traction on wet and soft ground pitches. A moulded-EVA sock-liner provides the necessary work required to reduce stud pressure and increase on-field comfort. As well as cushioning and support, the moulded-EVA sock-liner also provides the boots with a contoured arch and heel support.

Each evolution of the Nike T90 range has seen unique design enhancements to the boots signature feature. The new Nike T90 Laser IV adaptive shot shield technology is divided into 'Power' and 'Swerve' zones. Key contact zones are broken into strips surrounded by shape correcting foam, while Fins reduced in size and height offer a more powerful and natural ball feel.

If you're wondering when you're likely to see Fernando and co. in the latest Soar/Black/Silver Nike T90 Laser IV football boots, their on-pitch debut is expected to be next weekend where you'll see a host of new Nike shoes! The new blue design won't be transfered onto the synthetic alternative - something that reaffirms our thought that Nike were certainly thinking of their out-of-form Spanish striker!

The new Soar/Black/Silver Nike T90 Laser IV football boots will be available to pre-oder from Monday 19th March.
