Benoît Assou-Ekotto is famous for wearing classic and iconic football boots, and now the FC Metz left back has again caught our eyes as he laced up in one of the most famous soccer cleats Nike ever released - the golden Nike Air Legend R10 soccer cleat that Nike exclusively released for Ronaldinho in 2006.
Assou-Ekotto Laces Up in Gold Nike Air Legend R10 Boots
Up-close with Benoît Assou-Ekotto's current boots.
Launched ahead of the knockout stage of the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the golden Nike Air Legend R10 Ronaldinho Boots are based on the Nike Air Legend Cleats, with only a few customizations for Ronaldinho. First, there's Ronaldinho's initial R on the iconic tongue instead of the regular version's Swoosh, and second, the heel of the gold Nike Air Legend R10 Football Boots showed the Brazil national team's 5 stars.
The Nike Air Legend R10 football boots feature a soft Kangaroo leather upper. The cleats have a fiber-glass outer-sole with Air Zoom-technology to be shock-absorbent without compromising on the flexibility.
Assou-Ekotto also laced up in the rare black and golden Nike Air Legend R10 soccer cleats this season. Last season, he regularly played with classic Adidas Predator, but now the Nike Air Legend seems to be his boot of choice.
