Cristiano Ronaldo is on top of the world. After another record-breaking year, the Portuguese ace has been awarded his second consecutive Ballon d’Or. To mark the achievement, Nike has created a special edition pair of boots exclusively for the Real Madrid superstar – the Mercurial CR7 Rare Gold.
Throughout his stellar career, Ronaldo has always preferred the Nike Mercurial cleats, whether it was the Vapor or the Superfly version. However none has ever come close to the level of sophistication these boots display. Apart from the distinctive look (as if opponents needed anything else to distract them besides the forward’s quick feet!), the lightweight footwear also feature micro-diamonds which are delicately applied by hand over the CR7 logo.
Real Madrid are in great position to defend their domestic title (top of the standings with a game in hand) and will resume their campaign to keep their Champions League trophy in mid-February against German team Schalke. Cristiano Ronaldo will certainly be once again central to the task, as he looks to guide side to glory, maybe breaking a few more records in the process and further cementing his legendary status. With the Mercurial CR7 Rare Gold boots, he’s certainly got the footwear worthy of legend!
