NIKE MERCURIAL SUPERFLY CR7

THE DYNAMIC NIKE CR SERIES ENTERS A NEW ERA AS CRISTIANO RONALDO IS HOOKED UP WITH A SIGNATURE NIKE MERCURIAL SUPERFLY CR7 FOR THE FIRST EL CLASICO OF THE SEASON THIS WEEKEND IN MADRID.

Time and time again we've heard that Cristiano Ronaldo is 'out of this world' and that's the exact inspiration behind his new Mercurial Superfly, his 7th signature shoe in the series and his first exclusive Superfly since 2011. The new boot features a classic black Mercurial Superfly silhouette with a shimmering twist and bold 'CR7' graphics on the insteps to drop in as contender for the hottest boot in the CR collection.

Nike have a history of tactically releasing a signature CR boot ahead of el clasico and there's always a weight of expectation that comes with each of their key man's unique boots. The galaxy theme continues from the previous CR edition in a range that dates back to the originalMercurial Safari in 2010.

You can never criticise the CR7 signature range of being too bland. Nike love showing creativity with virtually every CR7 Mercurial release. Whether it be the ostrich-print Vapor Superfly II Safari, the super limited edition CR Vapor IX or the Black/White/Coin Gold 70s-inspired Vapor VIII, Nike have given us some of the most iconic boots of all time through the CR7 range.

The new Vapor IX Galaxy is made for the player with no limits. The dark obsidian base on the upper gives the boot a classy feel, yet through the extensive use of stars and the flashes of the night sky, the boot still has a distinctive look about it, topped off with a reflective silver Nike tick and green heel studs. See it for yourself with our special first look images of the boot.
