Nike Mercurial Vapor XI Cristiano Ronaldo 2016-17 Chapter 3 Discovery Boots Released
Nov 7, 2016, by Pat
The third chapter of Nike's Cristiano Ronaldo boot series has also been released for the Mercurial Vapor XI model. Offering a low-cut alternative to the Superfly, the Nike Mercurial Vapor 11 Cristiano Ronaldo Chapter 3 Discovery boots are the first to be based on the 11th generation of the iconic speed soccer cleat.
Nike started a new series of Cristiano Ronaldo signature boots, celebrating crucial stages of the Real Madrid star's career, almost exactly a year ago. The green and yellow Nike Mercurial Superfly V CR7 football boots mark the third chapter and follow up on 'Savage Beauty' and 'Natural Diamond'. They are named 'Discovery'.

Boasting a half-and-half design, the new Nike Mercurial Vapor XI Ronaldo Chapter 3 Discovery boots are split between dark green on the outside and Volt on the inside. A subtle reflective pattern is worked into the upper and laces of the eye-catching Nike Mercurial Vapor Ronaldo 2016-2017 soccer boots, while the sole plate is white with garish yellow accents.
Volt Mercurial and Nike brandings on the outside and a silver CR7 logo on the inside complete the design of the first Nike Mercurial Vapor 11 Cristiano Ronaldo Discovery cleats - alongside a '06-08-03' writing on the heel, the date of the match between Sporting and Manchester United where he sealed his transfer to the Red Devils shortly after.
On top of that, the sockliner of the Nike Mercurial Vapor Cristiano Ronaldo Discovery 2016-17 cleats shows an aerial view of Sporting Lisbon's Estádio José Alvalade, where Cristiano Ronaldo made his first steps in professional football.
In terms of tech, Cristiano Ronaldo's signature Nike Mercurial Vapor XI Chapter 3 Discovery boots are the same as regular editions. Built for speed, they feature a synthetic leather upper with ACC technology and embossed horizontal ridges (speed ribs).

Nike to Sell Long-Sleeve Besiktas Kits From 27-28 Season
Nike is set to introduce commercially available long-sleeve kits for Beşiktaş starting from the 27-28 season. Following the club's major switch from Adidas after 17 years, supporters will finally have direct access to official long-sleeve match jerseys at retail. Big thanks to @ertansuzgun & @Formaholic.
The timing aligns with significant milestone celebrations in Istanbul, as Nike is also planning a special 125th-anniversary collection for Beşiktaş during the 27-28 campaign to mark the club's foundation in 1903. Rather than relying on base layers and compression undershirts, players and fans alike will see dedicated long-sleeve designs included in the lineup.
The development forms part of Nike's wider strategy to bring back commercial long-sleeve authentic shirts across its elite roster from 27-28 onwards. By expanding long-sleeve availability to Beşiktaş, Nike closes the gap on rivals like Adidas and provides the Black Eagles with full top-tier treatment under their new partnership.
