From the streets of Porto Alegre to the world's biggest stages, Ronaldinho’s golden touch has always transcended football. Now, Nike’s bringing that same magic to the pavement with the upcoming Tiempo Legend “Touch of Gold”, reimagined as a lifestyle silhouette that blends heritage, flair, and off-pitch elegance in equal measure.
Looking likely to land in Summer 2025, the Ronaldinho x Nike Tiempo Legend “Touch of Gold” draws its DNA from the 2015 Nike Tiempo Legend "Touch of Gold", itself a homage to Ronaldinho's signature "White/Gold" Air Legend Tiempo R10 released in 2005. This latest evolution doesn’t just reference greatness; it channels it, delivering an everyday sneaker steeped in the spirit of the beautiful game.
A crisp quilted leather upper sets the tone, dipped in clean white and accented with rich, regal hits of gold throughout. From the Swoosh to the bespoke “R” lace charm and tongue branding, it’s a masterclass in subtle luxury. The iconic fold-over tongue returns—pure R10 energy—while a Cushlon sole brings the comfort to match the charisma. The result is a shoe that feels as good as it looks, crafted for those who appreciate the game but live beyond the lines.
But this isn’t just about style. It’s about legacy. Ronaldinho’s. Yours. Ours. The gold-foiled packaging and drawstring bag, complete with his signature and iconic number 10, round out a release that doesn’t just nod to football history—it wears it proudly.
Less about performance, more about presence, the Tiempo Legend “Touch of Gold” serves as a reminder: greatness never goes out of style. This is football culture, remixed. Keep your eyes on the drop—this one’s for the purists, the romantics, the R10 disciples.
Release date to be confirmed, but eyes peeled as this one likely won't hang round for long.
