Celebrating Cristiano Ronaldo’s remarkable season, Nike is releasing a limited edition Mercurial boot.
The Mercurial Vapor IX CR7 Special Edition commemorates a season in which Ronaldo averaged more than one goal a game, became the quickest player in club history to reach 200 goals and was officially recognized as the best player in the world.
Ronaldo’s boot features a simple white upper and a golden plate. Premium details and a numbered heel highlight the limited run.
“Cristiano Ronaldo is such an exceptional player, and we wanted to celebrate all his accomplishments this season with a unique boot to honor his amazing success,” said Denis Dekovic, Design Director for Nike Football Footwear.
Ronaldo will wear the Mercurial Vapor IX CR7 Special Edition on April 16.
100 pairs will be sold at nike.com on April 6.
