Update: Footy Headlines can now leak the official images of the next-gen Nike Tiempo Ligera edition (the takedown version of the Tiempo Maestro) featuring a traditional fold-over tongue. Both the Tiempo Maestro and the Tiempo Ligera will only be released on 22 January, 2026.
Going early (almost two months ahead of the retail launch), Nike has revealed the all-new next-gen Tiempo Maestro football boots.
Nike Tiempo Maestro 2026 - Metallic Red Bronze / Metallic Rose Gold
The new Tiempo Maestro 2026 football shoe continues Nike’s complete reinvention of the iconic Tiempo line, leaving behind the classic leather construction for "Techleather". This limited version takes that modern approach and adds an elegant metallic finish that shifts between rose and bronze tones under light.
A split plate construction allows Techleather to extend further around the Nike Tiempo Maestro 2026 football boot, while an integrated knit collar and reinforced eye stays provide a secure, glove-like fit.
Bladed teeth and twisted conical studs enhance traction and control, enabling sharper turns and faster accelerations during high-pressure moments. Early testers have praised the Nike Tiempo Maestro soccer boot for its light feel, flexibility, and reliable touch.
Techleather is a premium, soft, and flexible upper that wraps around the foot for a close, natural touch without sacrificing performance. Designed to handle extreme conditions, the material maintains consistency in wet and humid environments, giving players confidence when it matters most.
