Check out Ronaldo's super boots

Cristiano Ronaldo’s latest Nike Mercurial boot features a ‘supernova’ print, inspired by his ‘out of this world’ performances.

“We were watching a game, and after Cristiano scored yet another amazing free-kick the commentator posed the question” ‘Is Ronaldo from this planet?!’” remembers Nike footwear design director Denis Dekovic.
“When we got back to the design studio we got to thinking about CR7’s style and how similar it was to the definition of a supernova – a celestial body that radiates energy – and that was it, we had our inspiration.”
The Mercurial IX boot features an all-over digital print of the Star Vela Supernova and includes a seven star path print, paying homage to Cristiano's shirt number.
The supernova print is juxtaposed with a chrome swoosh flecked with silver fleck and a Blue Glow outline.
