Broken Love? Cristiano Ronaldo Cuts Off Collar Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots
- Ronaldo's Boot Modification: Cristiano Ronaldo has cut off the collar of his Nike Mercurial Superfly boots himself, rather than receiving a customized pair from Nike.
- Shift in Nike Relationship: Ronaldo's actions, along with not wearing his signature Nike boots, suggest a potential rift between him and Nike.
- Al Nassr's Adidas Deal: Ronaldo's club, Al-Nassr, has switched to Adidas, reportedly due to dissatisfaction with Nike.
Cristiano Ronaldo has surprised fans with the football boots in training this week.
Cristiano Ronaldo Cuts Off Collar By Himself Instead of Getting a Customized Pair By Nike
Cristiano Ronaldo cut off the collar of his Nike Mercurial Superfly boots. This unique customization has caught our attention as it is something we have not seen before on the boots of Nike's global figurehead.
This change suggests that a shift may happen between Ronaldo and Nike. Typically, Nike customizes boots for top players.
Back in 2014, for the World Cup, Nike created a custom version of the Superfly boots with a lower collar for Cristiano Ronaldo. Now, ten years later, Cristiano Ronaldo has cut off the collar by himself.
Cristiano Ronaldo is also not wearing the Nike Mercurial Dream Speed football boots, which were originally created for him. While they even feature the CR7 logo on the insole, they are now worn by several Nike top players but not by Cristiano himself.
This week, Cristiano's club, Al-Nassr, announced a deal with Adidas. The Saudi club was reportedly unhappy with the treatment of Niken and it's not being available fastly and globally.
Do you think Nike and Cristiano Ronaldo are having a hard time? Let us know in the comments below.

Adidas, Nike & Puma All Use Pink for 2026 World Cup
With the 2026 World Cup just around the corner, the highly anticipated tournament boot collections from the "Big Three" are finally coming into full view. In a massive and highly unusual coincidence, Adidas, Nike, and Puma have all selected the exact same primary color for the world's biggest football festival: pink.
Both Nike and Adidas have opted for a nearly identical colorway formula, heavily utilizing a striking mix of pink, white, and black across all of their respective silos. Puma is also fully embracing the trend, though they have introduced a slight variation to stand out. Their pack features a vibrant pink mixed with bright orange gradients, with the notable exception of the King 20 model, which features a predominantly white base with pink detailing.
With all three major sportswear giants completely aligning on this bold hue, we can be absolutely certain that a sea of pink will dominate the pitches across North America this summer.
However, this shared color palette is going to create a very unique issue during the tournament. With the vast majority of players wearing the exact same vibrant shade, it is going to be incredibly difficult for fans and boot spotters to quickly identify specific brands and models from a distance during television broadcasts.
