Will Cristiano Ronaldo Receive Modified Next-Gen Nike Mercurial 2018 World Cup Boots?
Cristiano Ronaldo has ditched his special Nike Mercurial Superfly CR7 Melhor boots in favor of the Nike Mercurial Superfly Ice Pack soccer boots. He is set to debut them in tonight's Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund.
Cristiano Ronaldo Switches to Nike Mercurial Superfly Ice Pack Boots
Close-up picture of CR7's boots.
Cristiano Ronaldo's Nike Mercurial Superfly soccer cleats from Nike's Ice Pack feature the same modifications as all previous custom Nike Mercurial CR7 boots. A remarkably lower Dynamic Fit collar as well as the writing CR7 on the outstep.
Cristiano Ronaldo laced up in the SG version of the Nike Mercurial Superfly boots, as usual.
What might be more interesting is that Nike is set to launch the next-generation Nike Mercurial Superfly 6 2018 football boots in early 2018 (Nike won't release a new regular colorway of the current-gen Mercurial at all). The 2018 World Cup Mercurials feature a remarkably different collar shape than the current-gen Superfly, so it is well possible that Cristiano Ronaldo will start to wear non-modified boots from the next generation of the Mercurial.
Cristiano Ronaldo already trained several time in the next-generation Nike Mercurial Superfly 6 - featuring the standard, updated collar of the cleats

MLS Players Wear Their National Flags on Kits Ahead of 2026 World Cup
Major League Soccer last weekend hosted a dedicated "Farewell Week" to send off its international stars. To mark the occasion, all clubs across the domestic league took to the pitch wearing specially customized kits that honored the various nations represented within their squads.
The most prominent visual update to the MLS uniforms was the addition of official national flags printed directly on the chest for all players and coaching staff. In a highly thoughtful and personalized touch, the league provided specialized double-flag variations for athletes holding dual citizenship. This bespoke detail allowed these specific players to proudly represent both their current homelands and their heritage simultaneously before joining their respective national team camps.
Beyond the chest graphics, teams also sported a unique set of squad numbers on the back of their shirts, featuring a custom pattern made up of the flags of all 48 countries participating in this summer's World Cup.
What do you think of this customized flag concept for the MLS World Cup Farewell Week? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
