Developed specifically for the Nike Sportswear LIVESTRONG Collection, the footwear design team looked at the Nike Tiempo, first launched through the football (soccer) category, and enhanced the shoe with key elements to work with todayâ€™s inner city bike rider. Developed in partnership with eight bike riders from around the globe, the Air Zoom Tiempo TZ LAF was constructed with a board last which translates into a stiffer construction, making the pushdown of the pedal stroke easier on the rider. Throughout the construction of the shoe, the designers have increased the density of the rubber and the derometer. Inside the shoe, the sockliner has been updated to also be a bit stiffer, giving support to the foot.

The upper of the shoe mirrors the look of the original Tiempo, however has been updated with a tougher leather to last through the wear and tear the cages on the pedals may cause. The whole Air Zoom Tiempo pack includes eight colorways inspired by the iconic yellow of LIVESTRONG.

Each color represents a different rider and their respective city. The eight riders include: Kyle Demers from New York City, Jupiter Desphy from Los Angeles, Superted from London, Takaharu â€œHalâ€ Okada from Tokyo, Yorgo Tloupas representing Paris, Berlinâ€™s Henrik Kuerschner, Massan from San Francisco, and Lance Armstrong representing his hometown of Austin.
