Taking football inspired footwear to the top of the style game Nike's Free rendition of the Cristiano Ronaldo 'Chapter 2' football boot has made the transition from the pitch to the streets in an authenticated manner.
A stylish lifestyle shoe inspired by a footballer's exclusive boot was a recipe for a fashion disaster in years gone by, (think astro turf trainers and boot-cut jeans) but Nike have elegantly merged the two worlds and the evidence is in their latest take on the remastered Nike CR7 Free Mercurial Superfly.
Mirroring the distinctive design of the boot worn by the Real Madrid marksman, the CR7 Free Mercurial Superfly takes on the 'Natural Diamond' design. The diamond aspect of the sneaker comes to life through chrome-coloured lace tips and a metallic silver Nike Swoosh, that sits on top of a flexible Nike Free outsole with a lightweight Flyknit upper.
Sat on top of a Free 5.0 sole, the CR7 Free Mercurial Superfly applies finishing touches that pay tribute to Ronaldo's attributes that have installed him as, depending on who you ask, the greatest footballer on the planet. The 'Natural Diamond' design is the second installment and follows the Free 'Savage Beauty' as Nike plan to roll out all seven CR7 exclusives across their cleated and Free lines.
