NIKE TIEMPO 94.
When people talk about the greatest strikers of all time, Romário still doesn’t get the appreciation he deserves.
Explosive over the first few yards, outrageous balance, incredible close control and absolutely lethal in front of goal. He didn’t need five chances — sometimes he barely needed half of one.
1994 belonged to him. The main man as Brazil became World Champions, FIFA World Player of the Year and a footballer who made scoring goals look ridiculously easy.
And on his feet — the Nike Tiempo 94.
One of Nike’s defining early football boots. Black leather, oversized white Swoosh, fold-over tongue and pure 90s simplicity.
Romário wasn’t alone either. The Tiempo became synonymous with some serious names of the era — Paolo Maldini, Bebeto and, of course, Eric Cantona.
Before Mercurial. Before Total 90. Before Nike dominated the football boot world.
There was Tiempo.
An icon worn by icons.
