The Tiempo Legend X 'Golden Touch' Has Landed

Celebrating the enduring legacy that sets the Tiempo apart from its competitors, Nike unveils the Tiempo Legend X 'Golden Touch.'

Few football boots can rival the Nike Tiempo's remarkable staying power, especially at the highest echelons of the sport. It holds the distinction of being Nike's longest-lasting silo, surpassing the likes of the Mercurial. Over the years, it has evolved to maintain its relevance and resilience in the ever-accelerating world of modern football. Throughout its history, the Tiempo has often embraced the golden hue, with several special releases adorned in this premium colour. However, none quite as memorable as Ronaldinho's Tiempo Legend 1 'Touch of Gold.' The re-release is one launch we have been thankful enough to have in store in the past. A true boot icon.

Now, Nike pays homage to that iconic moment by transforming the 'Touch of Gold' into the 'Golden Touch' with the launch of the Tiempo Legend X. This release features a unique sublimation execution, a departure from the traditional K-leather, where the base colour gracefully transitions from gold to black at the heel. What sets the Tiempo X apart is its pioneering use of Nike's latest material innovation, FlyTouch Plus. This proprietary synthetic leather is soft, lightweight, and exceptionally durable, enhancing ball control where it matters most. Notably, it also makes the Tiempo Legend 10 the lightest iteration to date and significantly less water-retentive, boasting a 55 percent reduction compared to its predecessors.

We think you'll agree that the colourway here is incredible. The gold on the boot also sees incorporated shades of orange and blue used. The orange accent harks back to the iconic Tiempo Legend IV, adorning the collar tab. Meanwhile, the shimmering soleplate transitions from blue at the heel to forefoot. The Swoosh gleams in gold, and the X Roman numeral graces the heel, symbolizing Tiempo 10 while paying tribute to legendary #10 players who've donned this iconic boot, such as Totti, Pirlo and Ronaldinho.
