Nike Launch The Tiempo 8" New Lights" Edition

Nike finally complete their "New Lights" pack by introducing a fresh Tiempo 8 colourway to the collection. The new-generation of the heritage silo (if you can still call it that) is brushed with a coat of "Royal Blue" and white for a clinical but typically stylish design ahead of the new season.

Rather confusingly, this Tiempo 8 colourway won't be Nike's leading Tiempo design on pitch for the kick off of the 2019/20 season. Nike will roll out the "New Lights" pack to their squad of professional players, but it'll be the "Under The Radar" version of the Tiempo that will be worn by the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Sergio Ramos and Gerard Pique. The PhantomVSN, VNM and Mercurial from the "New Lights" collection will be the colourways on pitch.

As with the rest of the "New Lights" collection, the Tiempo 8 edition features scattered Nike branding towards the heels of the boots. It's far more subtle than the print found on the Mercurial and Phantoms, but it features the same 'Just Do It' wording and 'Nike Football' in various languages. A clean white soleplate and a metallic Nike Swoosh complete the aesthetic on a boot that lands as the just the third colourway from the eighth-generation boot, after the all white "Nouveau" drop and previously mentioned "Under The Radar" edition.
