Recently purchased a new pair of Nike Tiempo Maestro Elites with the AG plates. I noticed if I lay the boots down on their side—the studs on the forefoot line up but the studs on the hind plate are off. Is this a defect or just a possible a symptom of having a split plate design?

Any helpful feedback and opinions would be great. Deciding if I should try to return or if I’m just overthinking and being too critical as they are on the expensive side.

Thank you!
