Cristiano Ronaldo has completed yet another historic season, and the 2014 World Cup hasn’t even begun yet. To celebrate the man who’s quickly becoming one of the all-time greats, and more specifically to honor his latest campaign that saw him become the fastest to 200 goals in Real Madrid history, Nike Football/Soccer has launched the Nike Mercurial Vapor IX CR7 Special Edition.
The boot sports a clean, classic white upper — Ronaldo’s preferred color of cleat — that sits atop a striking metallic gold cleatplate. After all, having averaged better than a goal a game this past season, Ronaldo’s boots were clearly metaphorically made of gold, may as well make it literal.
Further premium details abound as well, most notably including a number at the heel that specifies which pair in the limited run of 100 you’re looking at.
The shoe launched on Nike.com earlier today, though quantities were unfortunately limited to 100 pairs. Ronaldo will debut the boot on April 16.
