PICTURES: Cristiano Ronaldo Debuts Personalized Nike Mercurial Superfly VI Elite Retail Boots
Having skipped last night's launch event in London, Cristiano Ronaldo joined the Mercurial Superfly 360 party today, wearing a pair of personalized Nike Mercurial Superfly 6 Elite boots in training ahead of this weekend's La Liga clash with Real Sociedad.
Ronaldo has always received highly customized and bespoke versions of previous Dynamic Fit Nike Mercurial Superfly cleats in the past, something that's been well documented to the Swoosh's disadvantage. With the Superfly 6, at least at the moment, this appears not be the case as Ronaldo laced up in boots which feature the same collar length as the retail pair.
As (almost) always, Cristiano opted for the SG-Pro version of the boots, which has not yet been officially showed off by Nike so far. The boots come with additional personalization in the form of a 'CR7' sign on the outside rear and more text on the inside of the right shoe - unfortunately too small to be legible.
Ronaldo will not wear the 'Total Orange' colorway for too long though, with his 'Chapter 6' signature edition set for a release next month.
