Nike Mercurial Victory CR7 Vitórias 2016 Ballon d'Or Boots Released
Apr 9, 2017, by Chris
Nike today released the first-ever takedown version of a limited-edition Nike Cristiano Ronaldo football boot. Based on the famous Nike Mercurial Superfly V CR7 Vitórias 2016 Ballon d'Or soccer cleats, the Nike Mercurial Victory CR7 commemorates Cristiano Ronaldo's achievements with his club and country in 2016.
The original Nike Mercurial Superfly V CR7 were unveiled in December 2016 after the Portuguese superstar won his fourth Ballon d'Or. Cristiano Ronaldo won both the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Euro 2016 championship in 2016. Cristiano Ronaldo will not wear them, logically.
Nike Mercurial Victory CR7 Vitórias - Pure Platinum / White / Black / Gold
This is the takedown Nike Mercurial Superfly CR7 Vitórias soccer cleat.
Boasting a similar design as the Nike Mercurial Superfly V CR7 Vitórias boot, the takedown Nike Mercurial Superfly Victory Cristiano Ronaldo Ballon d'Or boots are white with black and old applications.
Compared to the original Superfly version, the Nike Mercurial Victory CR7 takedown cleats are much less outstanding featuring no Speedribs and a non-shimmering sole plate.
Tech-wise, the Nike Mercurial Victory CR7 Vitórias are not a high-end boot, to say the least. While they feature a Dynamic Fit collar, they just come with a synthetic leather upper and a full length TPU plate. The lack features such as a knitted upper, ACC technology and Speedribs.
Officially launched today, the Nike Mercurial Victory CR7 Victory Vitórias soccer boots retail at 90 Euro (70 GBP, 90 USD). The boots are not available in the United States yet, and it also not known how limited they are.

Premier League Match Ball Spotted in German 9th Tier for Niklas Süle Debut
Former Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and Germany defender Niklas Süle recently made headlines by stepping onto the pitch for German amateur side SV Tiefenbach in the Kreisliga. Having stepped away from the professional game at the end of the 25-26 season, the 30-year-old made his debut for the local ninth-tier club in Baden-Württemberg alongside close friends. While Süle managed to score a headed goal in a 7-2 defeat against SG Kirchardt, we quickly spotted an unexpected detail: the match was played with the official Nike Premier League 24-25 Third ball.
Seeing a Premier League match ball in the lower divisions of German regional football is an unusual and amusing sight, as amateur clubs across the country usually rely on non-league or, also, Bundesliga balls.
The distinctive Nike Flight Premier League design inspired by the Total 90 design, complete with its signature aerodynamic groove pattern and Premier League graphics, stood out prominently on the district league pitch.
New Hull City Signing Brings Back Memories of Iconic Vennegoor of Hesselink Number 29 Kit Font Arc
Following Hull City's signing of French midfielder Lucas Gourna-Douath, kit enthusiasts and football fans quickly noticed a similarity to one of the most iconic shirt prints in Premier League history. Gourna-Douath was unveiled holding his new black and amber striped 26-27 home kit featuring his hyphenated surname curved in a deep horseshoe arc around the number 29.
The visual immediately drew viral comparisons to Dutch striker Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, who famously wore the exact same squad number 29 for Hull City during the 2009-10 campaign. Vennegoor of Hesselink's 20-letter surname required an extreme rainbow arch on the back of his kit to fit around the Premier League typeface, creating an enduring aesthetic memory from the classic Barclays era.
The Hull City kit does not require a box at the back, unlike it might have been in the UEFA Champions League.
Djed Spence to Wear Number 99 at Inter Milan
Following his permanent transfer from Tottenham Hotspur to Inter Milan, English wing-back Djed Spence has officially chosen the number 99 shirt for the 26-27 campaign. The 26-year-old completed his move to the Nerazzurri in a deal worth approximately €30 million, signing a five-year contract that keeps him at the club until June 2031.
High squad numbers remain a classic hallmark of Serie A, and Spence's selection of number 99 sees him continue that tradition in Milan.
