This image shows the limited-edition Nike Mercurial Superfly Cristiano Ronaldo 'Quinto Triunfo' boot.
Featuring a design that derives from the Chapter 4 signature Ronaldo boots that were launched earlier this year, the Nike Mercurial Ballon d'Or 2017 Ronaldo boots fade from gray, used for the Dynamic Fit collar and the part around the laces towards a metallic gold sole plate. A silver Swoosh with a black and gold outline and subtle pattering on the inside neatly complements the design.
Within the Swoosh and visible with movement, the years of his previous and current awards appear: 2008, 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017. The treatment used to create this effect is a first for Nike. The boots also feature Nike's most premium sole plate.
The CR7 logo is relegated to the heel area, where it sits in a nice metallic silver application. The name of the boot, 'Quinto Triunfo' (Fifth Triumph) is written above it, highlighting this great success which sees Ronaldo equal Lionel Messi in Ballon d'Or wins.
Limited to just 1,000 pairs, the Nike Mercurial Superfly V CR7 Quinto Triunfo Ballon d'Or 2017 football boots were unveiled immediately after CR7 picks up his latest individual award. They'll be available to buy on December 14 2017. The RRP will be slightly higher than on regular edition Mercurial Superfly 5 soccer boots (around 350 USD).
