With Nike going having re-released the Nike Air Legend R10 football boots today, we compare the 2018 remake and the 2005 original. The Nike Air Legend R10 2018 remake is much less different to the classic 2005 boot than the Nike Tiempo 'Touch of Gold' Ronaldinho boot Nike released in 2015 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the original cleat.

Nike Tiempo Air Legend R10 - 2018 Remake vs 2005 Original

The upper of the Nike Air Legend R10 2018 boots is the same as the upper of the original Nike Tiempo Air Legend - The upper of the modern Nike Air Legend R10 is made of premium Kangaroo leather, just as the original boot released in 2005.

Another difference is the heel counter. The modern boot features an internal heel counter, while the classic cleat comes with an external one. The shape, construction and size of the tongue are identical. The only difference is the R10 logo on it.

Most importantly, the sole plate and the studs of the Nike Air Legend Ronaldinho 2018 remake and the original are totally different. The Nike Air Legend R10 2018 remake cleats use the current Nike Tiempo Legend VII FG plate, which is much lighter than the classic plate with a Nike Zoom Air insole.

The original Nike Air Legend R10 football boot weighs in at 311 gram (11oz). The remake of the cleats are much lighter, thanks to the sole plate and the missing external heel counter.
