Davinson Sánchez Gives World's First Look At All New Next-Gen Nike Tiempo Legend 9 Boots
Tottenham defender Davinson Sánchez has become the world's first player to be spotted wearing a pair of the next-generation Nike Tiempo Legend 9 2021 soccer cleats. Thanks to @bootsculture for the great spot.
On February 10 2021, we exclusively revealed that the next-generation Nike Tiempo Legend IX soccer boots will be released in Summer 2021.

Close-up pictures of Davinson Sánchez's unique prototypes.
Featuring a blackout upper, Davinson Sánchez's next-gen Nike Tiempo Legend 2021 cleat is remarkably different to the current generation. They come with a 'double Swoosh' on the outstep and a smaller 180° rotated Swoosh on the rear inner area.

The outstep looks smooth and thin, whereas the instep and the front area appear to be extremely soft with unique soft foam pads keeping the Kangaroo leather in place.
Another interesting element is visible on the heel area - there is a circular element with lines to reduce pressure in the heel area.
Not much about the sole pate can be said from the picture, but we expect it to be reconstructed as well.
