Nike Mercurial Superfly 'CR 501' Concept Boots by Swoosh Customs

Swoosh Customs has done it again. Celebrating Cristiano Ronaldo's 500 career goals milestone, which also saw him overtake Raúl as Real Madrid's all-time topscorer, the Nike Mercurial Superfly 'CR 501' Cleats boast a classic design.
Nike Mercurial Superfly 'CR 501' Concept Cleats
This is the classy Nike Mercurial Superfly Cristiano Ronaldo Boot Concept by Swoosh Customs.
The Nike Mercurial Superfly 'CR 501' Cleats combine white with gold for a clean and stylish look, while the CR signature branding is well-represented on the rear part of the inside. The '501' detail next to it might get outdated pretty soon, though.
Continuing the shape of the iconic white Swoosh in the forefoot area, the gold part of the CR 501 Custom Boots shows subtle text listing all of Ronaldo's professional teams and the respective goal tally.
As we've been become accustomed to with limited-edition Nike releases, Swoosh Custom's Nike Mercurial Superfly 'CR 501' Concept Boots feature the total release count, engraved on the black soleplate. The fictional boots would be limited to 501 pairs, obviously.

Premium Material Returns to the World Cup Champions Badge
Alongside the second star above the crest, Spain officially unveiled a new 3D embossed World Champions badge during their recent 3-2 victory over England in the UEFA Nations League. This badge previously appeared on Spain's jersey after their 2026 FIFA World Cup triumph.
Compared to the heat-applied plastic version seen on Argentina's kits, the new badge from Cromotransfer offers a significantly more premium look, featuring an embossed surface and a multi-layered structure. Before that, Adidas has increasingly shifted to pre-applying tournament and champions badges directly in its manufacturing facilities.
However, this upgrade will be exclusive to the authentic player-version jerseys. The fan-version replica shirts will continue to feature the standard heat-transferred plastic badge.
Big thanks to @whatthekit_x for the collage.
