It looks like Nike is already getting into world cup mode, as the brand has just officially introduced the Nike Tiempo ’94. The shoe is a more lifestyle leaning version of the very first Nike Soccer shoe (Or “football boot” for anyone outside of the US), the Nike Tiempo Premier that made its debut at the 1994 World Cup right here in the USA. This reborn version of the shoe sports a Phylon midsole in place of the original studded setup that features flex grooves for comfort.

Nike Tiempo ‘94
On the pitch, players like Ronaldinho took everything, gave nothing and wore the Tiempo Premier. Embodying that spirit, the Nike Tiempo ‘94 reinterprets the performance icon for everyday use. Its black stitched leather upper, contrasting white swoosh, and suede overlays take direct inspiration from the Tiempo Premier, veneering the design with a timeless aesthetic. An oversized, removable tongue and stitched yellow heel swoosh also pay homage to Nike Football’s birth with relentless attention to detail—a powerful expression of football’s renewed attitude, with a touch of class.
Replacing the original studded outsole is a premium gum cup sole fitted with a colored Phylon midsole for lightweight cushioning. Exposed flex grooves designed to maximize comfort and natural motion for the wearer were also added, innovating the traditional craft associated with Tiempo for everyday use.
