This is one of the best CR7 releases of all-time. Tell us we're wrong. The new Mercurial Air Zoom Superfly IX for potentially Cristiano Ronaldo's final World Cup tilt is special. From the design to the tech there’s plenty of highlights. If you're a collector of his boots or just a fan of Merc; copping these is a no brainer.
Nike always dials it up in a World Cup year. The 'Fast Is In The Air' launch, which we played a significant role in, was spectacular but no surprising given their history with big brand moment. They've been dominating World Cup years for decades and this one is no different.
The new CR7 Mercurial Air Zoom Superfly IX pays tribute to Portuguese culture and design. We honestly are totally in love with these because they hit the mark so well. They scream Portugal and everything wonderful about that part of the world.
The white and blue patterns beautifully pay homage to Azulejo tiles seen around the country. The classy bronze swoosh and details link to the trophy that CR7 will be dreaming of lifting come December.
Of the 31 signature releases the great man has had, we put these right in the mix at the top. It's unbelievable to us that he's had 31 editions in his stellar career. But, then again, with Cristiano you have to believe that the unbelievable is possible. He's proven that his whole career.
You just know this design will be iconic for years to come. It will also drive the man who loves playing for his country to another level. He always finds a way to reach that extra gear on the big stage. Every time he looks down at his feet he will feel the whole country watching him, urging him to greatness once more.
Sure, things might not be ideal regarding his club career at the moment. But who's betting against him winning the World Cup in these Mercs this year? We're not. And you'd be foolish too, as well. If he doesn't win it, we wouldn't be surprised if he tries to go again for 2026. He's a different breed. A once in a lifetime talent.
