The Finer Details See those microdots on the upper? They amplify touch zones for shooting, dribbling and passing. They make for a sleeker look while taking out the extra padding. Even better, they don't sacrifice the ball control you crave on the field. We shaved down the foam pods from the Tiempo 9, so your foot can get even closer to the ball when it’s in your control. Instead, we molded the lines into the cleat. FlyTouch Lite engineered leather is incredibly soft. It helps the cleat mold to your foot for comfort without overstretching the material. Tongue construction with additional padding gives you a secure feel and comfort in key areas. Microfiber lining creates a premium feel. The plate blends conical studs in the heel for optimal traction and stability when braking and changing direction, just right under any conditions. Nike Adults Tiempo Academy Firm Ground
