It has been a decade since a certain YouTube video featuring Ronaldinho and his boots became one of the first to reach a million views. That viral moment sparked debates over authenticity, but its impact was undeniable. To mark the 10‑year anniversary, Nike has released a remake of the 2005 Nike Air Legend Tiempo as a tribute to both the player and the iconic boot.
The 2005 Origins
At the time, Ronaldinho was one of Nike’s flagship athletes. After his move from PSG to FC Barcelona, his profile soared, and the Swoosh quickly launched the first limited‑edition boot made exclusively for him. This paved the way for his own signature line, the Nike 10R, in later years.
The new Tiempo “Touch of Gold” retains the essence of the original model while incorporating the construction of the 2015 version. Although a decade separates the two designs, the evolution has been remarkably conservative – a key reason why this boot remains a favorite among classic players.

Upper and Construction
The upper is made from natural leather, featuring the classic stitching in the toe box area. This stitching prevents the boot from over‑stretching during normal use while still allowing enough give to mold to the wearer’s foot shape. Gold details and the boot number have been added, as this is a limited edition – only 3,000 pairs worldwide of the Nike Tiempo Legend “Touch of Gold” will be produced.

Outsole and Stud Pattern
A notable design element is the outsole, which transitions from white at the front to gold at the heel and features Ronaldinho’s “10” signature. The stud pattern is identical to the stock model, incorporating advanced technologies that make the boot lighter and provide good flexion and reaction.

The Reverse Tongue
The classic reverse tongue, a regular detail of that era, makes a return. Many players at the time would finish practice, clean their boots, and use rubber bands to hold the tongue in shape.

Limited Edition Release
These exclusive boots will be available starting September 2. Only 3,000 pairs will be produced worldwide.
