Update: A new picture of the last current-generation Nike Tiempo Legend 9 football boots has been leaked by @football_boots_74. Part of the Nike "Luminous Pack", they are Nike's last-ever Tiempo soccer cleats with kangaroo leather - from the next-generation Nike Tiempo Legend 10, Nike stop the usage of kangaroo leather in favor of a newly developed synthetic material that "has many advantages over traditional leather" - at least Nike say so.

The new picture has a different lighting than the first leaked pictures - the Barely Volt is a colorway that changes its look due to lighting.
