After being named the best footballer in the world for a third time in his illustrious career, Nike have created a blinged out Mercurial Superfly IV gold colourway boot for their marquee athlete.
For the first time in Nike’s history, Ronaldo’s custom Superfly boots have micro diamonds applied to them to complete the shimmering look. Micro diamonds are fragments of the precious gem that are chipped away during the cutting process.
"The commitment to keep chipping away at something already impressive reminded Nike's design team of Ronaldo's work ethic. While many see Ronaldo as the best in the world, he sees room for improvement," the sportswear manufacturer explained.
Ronaldo will wear his new pair of boots for the first time when Real Madrid take on Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their Copa del Rey showdown this week.
