Nike Revives Ronaldinho’s Tiempo with ‘Touch of Gold’ for 2025
Widely considered one of the greatest footballers of all time, Ronaldo de Assis Moreira—better known as Ronaldinho or Ronaldinho Gaúcho—left an unforgettable mark on the game. The Brazilian icon was named FIFA World Player of the Year twice and famously wore the number 10 shirt for FC Barcelona, guiding the club to multiple titles during his legendary spell.
So it’s only fitting that he’s the face of a signature Nike release.
A Closer Look…
Football fans might recall the unforgettable clip from 2005. Ronaldinho unboxes a pair of Nike Tiempos and effortlessly pings the ball off the crossbar time and time again. The moment didn’t just showcase his ridiculous talent; it also catapulted the Tiempo to cult status.
Fast forward to 2021, Nike paid tribute to that moment with a special edition of the Tiempo Legend V. With only 3,000 pairs released globally, it quickly became a sought-after collector’s piece. Now, the Swoosh is bringing back that magic with a new iteration. This time featuring a rubber outsole, perfect for small-sided games and indoor football.
This new version of the Tiempo comes dressed in an eye-catching white and gold colourway, directly inspired by the OG pair. Ronaldinho’s name appears in a flowing script on the tongue, and each pair comes with an R-shaped hangtag, a matching pouch, and a custom box for the full collector’s experience.
Look closely at the heel, and you’ll spot the numbers 5, 15, and 25. A nod to key milestones in Ronaldinho’s long-standing partnership with the Tiempo line.
The Drop
Nike has yet to confirm an official release date for the Tiempo Legend ‘Touch of Gold’, but it’s expected to land sometime in 2025. Stay tuned to the Drop Date release calendar for further updates and release details.
