Nike Tiempo Maestro Elite

$250

Wreaking havoc on the defense requires total command of the ball. That's why we designed every aspect of the Tiempo Maestro Elite to put you in complete control of every touch. Its all-new TECHLEATHER material, softer than natural leather, combines with a flexible Maestro360 plate to give you a glove-like fit no matter where the ball strikes.

Supersoft Touch

TECHLEATHER on the upper, located where you need it for creative dribbling, is a supersoft material. It provides a more consistent touch in wet or dry conditions than natural leather. Its molded lines enhance the touch experience.

Glove-Like Fit

Up top, TECHLEATHER adapts to the shape of your foot for an accommodating fit. At the bottom, the Maestro360 split plate, located at the forefoot and heel, allows the synthetic leather of the upper to wrap the arch of your foot to further enhance the feeling of a glove-like fit.

Traction for the Field

Bladed studs on the outsole at the heel and forefoot provide traction for gripping the field. Twisted conical studs help you plant and pivot with ease.

Mercurial Fit Tiempos!!!
JuanJun 15, 2026
The fit and feel of the Tiempo Maestro feels more like a mercurial than a traditional Tiempo fit. The fit in the Tiempo Maestro feels snug and tight like a Mercurial with the touch of a leather boot. If you wear a wide size than I highly recommend the Tiempo Ligeria Pro Model. A traditional fit can still be found in the Tiempo Ligeria Pro since it has a traditional lacing system compare to the one piece found in the Tiempo Maestro. I like the design of the Tiempo Maestro since it feels like a futuristic Tiempo with all the benefits of a leather boot without any of the drawbacks. The fabric of the Tiempo genuinely feels like a leather boot in its flexibility and touch on the ball. The upper is what I like the most of the Tiempo Maestro since is so pliable and there is almost no break in time required. If you prefer the tight snug fit of a mercurial in a Tiempo than the Maestro is perfect for you! Something I would change is the fit to be wider in the middle of the cleat to fit more people and feel more like a classical Tiempo. Overall, a great pair of cleats with a snug fit and unmatched upper material!

Amazing Soccer Cleat
Chris23Jun 15, 2026
The easiest way to summarize these is WOW. Not only is the color and material amazing, they perform great! They are very light and allow for great feel on the ball. Traction is good and the shiny bottom is a great touch. These are without a doubt a high end soccer cleat.

FAQ (9)

Who are these cleats best suited for?

Players who prioritize touch, close control and creative dribbling to dictate play rather than rely on pace.

What is Nike TECHLEATHER and how does it differ from real leather?

TECHLEATHER is an engineered performance material designed to feel soft and adaptive like premium leather, while delivering more consistent touch in both wet and dry conditions than natural leather provides.

How does TECHLEATHER adapt to the foot over time?

TECHLEATHER used in the Tiempo Maestro Elite is designed to adapt naturally to the shape of the foot. It helps create a personalized glove-like fit while maintaining structure and consistent touch throughout the cleat's life.

What does the Maestro360 split plate do?

The split plate is placed at the forefoot and heel on the outsole to help the upper wrap naturally around the arch. This creates a glove-like fit with responsive movement underfoot and a closer connection between foot and field.

How does the Tiempo Maestro Elite differ from the previous Tiempo?

The Tiempo Maestro Elite introduces an all-new TECHLEATHER upper and Maestro360 split plate, delivering a softer touch, more adaptive fit and enhanced connection between foot and cleat compared to earlier versions.

What is the difference between the Tiempo, Phantom and Mercurial soccer cleat lines?

Tiempo is built for touch and ball control, Phantom focuses on precision for pinpoint passes and strikes, Mercurial is designed for explosive speed and fast-attacking movement.

Which surfaces are these cleats designed for?

Firm Ground (dry, natural-grass fields) and Artificial Grass (longer, artificial grass fields).

How does the Tiempo Maestro Elite fit, and how should players size it?

Tiempo cleats are built for a glove-like fit that adapts closely to the shape of the foot. Most players find their usual size works well, though fit preference may vary depending on how snug players like their cleats.

How should these cleats be cleaned and cared for?

Wipe dirt away after play, remove debris from the studs and let the cleat air-dry naturally. Avoiding direct heat and cleaning regularly helps preserve touch, fit and long-term performance.
