Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United was spotted training with vintage Nike Tiempo Legend boots.

Bruno Fernandes, a Manchester United midfielder, made waves this week after being spotted exercising wearing an old pair of Nike Tiempo Legend football boots. Known for wearing the Nike Mercurial Vapor Dream Speed 3, the change in footwear piqued the interest of fans and experts alike.

Fernandes chose the Nike Tiempo Legend IV Elite cleats in a dramatic black, white, and orange colorway. The Tiempo Legend boot first became available in its fourth incarnation in 2011, when the midfielder became 17 years old.

The “Independent Unique Football Boot Store” (@rareboots4u) sourced the boots for Fernandes, who received a pair of his favorite classic Tiempo Legend IV Elite.

It’s refreshing to see a player like Fernandes embrace nostalgia for vintage boots while still demonstrating tremendous technique and effectiveness on the field. Perhaps this change in footwear will add a touch of retro flair to his game.
