With three Ballon d’Or awards and over 500 career goals, Cristiano Ronaldo is the all-time leading scorer for both club and country. While he continues to make history on the pitch, Nike is chronicling Ronaldo’s past through a new series of seven Mercurial Superfly CR7 boots, unveiled one at a time over the next several seasons, beginning with Chapter 1: Savage Beauty.
Savage Beauty takes its cues from Madeira, the volcanic Portuguese island where the player was born.
The lava-inspired print on Savage Beauty is one of the most intricate Nike has ever produced on a pair of boots. A collaboration between Nike’s World Headquarters and its expert artisans in Montebelluna, Italy, the vibrant, six-color graphic flows from toe to heel to accentuate Ronaldo’s speed. Supplementary color on the medial side adds extra flash while a new, smaller CR7 logo appears on the lateral side of the heel and an iridescent white Swoosh complements the design.
