This image shows the new Nike Mercurial Vapor CR7 football cleats.
The new Cristiano Ronaldo Chapter 5 Mercurial Vapor XI cleats have an off-white base color, officially 'Blue Tint', which is inspired by CR7's record-shattering transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid in 2009. A subtle multicolor graphic is present all over the upper, although less pronounced than on the 'Cut to Brilliance' Superflys.
Black brandings, the Swooshes featuring a subtle diamond-informed finish round off the look alongside one of the most subtly applied CR7 brandings on the inside rear. As with all previous models of this seven chapter series, a special graphic is visible on the sockliner and included string bag, reading "Fastest to score 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 League Goals, First to Score Against Every Team."
A truly unique design, the the new Cristiano Ronaldo Mercurial Vapor XI boots are identical to the regular editions of the model in terms of tech.
