The Nike Air Max Plus Tiempo perfectly embodies the “blokecore” trend, seamlessly blending athletic nostalgia with streetwear flair. This fresh iteration of the hybrid silhouette—an offshoot beloved across Europe—features design elements borrowed from Nike’s classic Tiempo soccer cleats, appealing directly to football aficionados. This spring, the latest colorway arrives with subtle yet meaningful design choices.
The forthcoming “Phantom/Metallic Gold” color scheme is particularly striking. Its crisp white base, referred to as “Phantom,” is accentuated with metallic gold detailing, echoing a design reminiscent of Ronaldinho’s legendary “Touch of Gold” Tiempo cleats from 2005. That historic boot was propelled into fame not only by the Brazilian star’s skill but also by a viral “Crossbar” video that made history as the first YouTube video to reach one million views.
The Air Max Plus Tiempo continues Nike’s recent push to incorporate soccer-themed inspirations across its catalog. Earlier this year, the Swoosh revived the Field General as an answer to the adidas Samba, and other models like the Cortez and Killshot 2 have also seen Tiempo-inspired makeovers. The Air Max Plus line even introduced a Mercurial Vapor-inspired colorway, further proving Nike’s commitment to this trend.
While an official release date has yet to be confirmed, sneakerheads and soccer fans alike can expect the Nike Air Max Plus Tiempo “Phantom/Metallic Gold” to drop in Spring 2025 with a price tag of $190. Keep an eye on Nike’s release calendars for further updates and take a closer look at the official images as anticipation builds.
