Ronaldinho’s Tiempo Legend ‘Touch of Gold’ Returns

A legend is returning!

The skinny, low-profile sneaker trend has been the perfect vehicle for football/soccer footwear to emerge with some of the hottest options this year. Combined with the TikTok trend, pitch-inspired sneakers have never been more popular. All of this, combined with the World Cup on the horizon, presents a perfect opportunity for brands to dig into the archives. And are doing just that – the Ronaldinho x Nike Tiempo Legend ‘Touch of Gold’ is returning later this year.

Last released in 2021 as a limited-edition cleat, the Ronaldinho x Nike Tiempo Legend ‘Touch of Gold’ is burned into the memories of football fans. Luckily, this year’s drop will be both more available, and streetwear-ready. Nike are replacing the cleated outsole with a flat, rubber bottom, while the midsole is designed for all-day wear using Cushlon, to deliver lightweight comfort. The upper remains true to the original, featuring supple white leather that’s quilted on the toe box. Golden details are present throughout from the stitching to the metallic Swoosh, while the Ronaldinho '10' logo on the tongue and the golden ‘R’ charm hang-tag bring it all together. The release will come in a special box and will include a dustbag as well.

Inspired by a legend and now retooled for the streets, the Ronaldinho x Nike Tiempo Legend ‘Touch of Gold’ is back. No official release date has been announced, but these are expected to drop before the end of this year. Retail is set at $230. Keep it here for all the updates.
