Nike are marking the new season with the return of one of their most famous boots.

On September 2, Nike will release an updated, limited edition Tiempo Legend "Touch of Gold" boot to commemorate the 10th anniversary of this viral video that made the boot famous, featuring Brazil legend Ronaldinho. 

The video, which saw Ronaldinho try out his new Tiempo Legends by completing a series of elaborate crossbar challenges, became the first clip to reach 1,000,000 views on YouTube upon its release in 2005.

The boot is an homage to its signature athlete, Ronaldinho.

Much like the original, Tiempo "Touch of Gold" features an all-white upper with exquisite golden accents and branding that honor its signature athlete, 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 boots are being made.

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.

Here's the video that made the boot so iconic.
