Nike Release New Cristiano Ronaldo Mercurial Superfly Boots

Nike Release New Cristiano Ronaldo Mercurial Superfly Boots

The boots represent 'the move difficult part of his career'

Nike have dropped the second pair of Mercurial Superfly boots in their series of seven which will document the Portugal captain's life. We're not sure how they do that, but let's just pretend it makes perfect sense even if interpreting anything other than through the medium of dance is a fucking travesty.

The Mercurial Superfly IV CR7 boots document Ronaldo's move away from home to pursue his dream of becoming a professional footballer, a move which the three time Ballon d'Or winner calls the most difficult part of his career.


The dark blue colour scheme Nike have opted for has been dubbed 'The Natural Diamond', which acknowledges Ronaldo's natural ability but also how he crafted his game under pressure. Footy Headlines have shared a more detailed, romantic description of the design;

"Designed to look rocky and rough, is represents the early years away from home when Ronaldo was refining his game to show the promise of the player he would become. As the boot transitions to the forefoot, it smoothens out, analogous again to Ronaldo's journey and development."
