Ronaldinho's “Touch of Gold” Nike Tiempo Returns for the Pitch & Streets on Dec. 10

Ronaldinho’s influence on the game transcends generations, and Nike is celebrating that legacy with both a reissue of and new street-ready tribute to one of the most iconic football boots of all-time. The Nike Tiempo Legend "Touch of Gold" returns just in time for its 20th anniversary.

Last seen in 2021 as the limited-to-just-3,000-pairs Tiempo Legend V R10 “Touch of Gold," the latest Nike Football capsule commemorates the elegant boot's debut in 2005 and relaunch in 2015 with debossed dates on the lateral heels. A 25 joins the mix to commemorate this year's releases.

Both Firm Ground and Indoor versions feature a quilted leather upper in crisp "Metallic Summit White," premium "Metallic Gold Coin" accents across the swoosh, custom tongue branding, and matching R lace charms. Fold-over tongues faithfully nod to Ronaldinho’s classic style, while sole units indulge in Cushlon foam (Indoor version) and stud patterns from the Tiempo Legend 6 (FG).

The entire "Touch of Gold" presentation leans into luxury, with gold-foiled packaging and a matching drawstring bag emblazoned with Ronaldinho’s signature and number 10. The spirit of the original Nike Tiempo remains firmly intact.

The off-pitch version of the Tiempo "Touch of Gold" is a tribute not just to Ronaldinho’s on-field brilliance, but to his global cultural legacy—delivering classic Brazilian flair in a fresh and functional format. The performance-informed reissue of his iconic boots promises fans a bit of the 2005 Ballon d'Or winner's magic, while continuing Nike Football's retro efforts under the RGN (read: Regen) banner.

Expect the Ronaldinho x Nike Tiempo Legend “Touch of Gold” capsule to release at select retailers and Nike.com on December 10.
