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'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
