On September 2, 2015 Nike released updated, limited edition Tiempo Legend Touch of Gold soccer cleats to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the video that made its predecessor famous. Only 3000, numbered of these Nike gold soccer shoes have been released.
The new boot from the Nike Football collection pays homage to the Nike Air Legend Tiempo that was released in 2005 via Crossbar, the first YouTube video to garner a million views.
Watch the Crossbar video featuring Ronaldinho below:
THEN (2005)
The original 2005 Nike Air Legend Tiempo featured air technology, gold Nike swoosh logo and details, and 5 gold stars on the heel.
NOW (2015)
Much like the original, the new Tiempo “Touch of Gold” soccer cleats feature an all-white upper with exquisite golden accents and branding that honor its signature athlete, soccer player Ronaldinho. The new version includes a gradient treatment on the sole plate, transitioning from a clean white forefoot to a golden heel. Ronaldinho’s name spreads across both sole plates in the forefoot and his signature R10 logo appears on the classic Tiempo tongue.
Only 3,000 pairs of the Tiempo Legend “Touch of Gold” have been made and each is individually numbered on the lateral side of the heel.
These limited edition gold soccer cleats can now only be found on eBay.
