New with box - Made in Indonesia
The Upper:
- A premium leather upper with a lightweight stitching pattern, and overall a very thin and flexible
- They featured a giant fold over tongue that flapped over the laces
- This Tiempo Classic is a mid-late 90s model, unsure of the exact year but they are very similar to the TIempo Premier D as used in the 94 World CUp
The Sole Plate:
- Pretty consistent for the time period, a one piece plastic sole plate that was screwed in at the top and bottom
- The studs used 6 screw in plastic (not aluminum) studs
Notes and Comments:
- Manufactured in the mid 90s, Made in Indonesia, this classic Tiempo model is very similar to the Tiempo Premier D design the R9 used in the 94 World Cup
- The upper is surprisingly soft and flexible, it's better leather than most of the boots made today - unsure if it is K or calf leather but it is not stiff at all like a lot of the pre 2000's boots are
