Nike To Release Limited CR Mercurial IX To Celebrate Record Breaking Season

 

In a surprise move, Nike are set to release a highly limited CR Mercurial Vapor IX in celebration of Cristiano Ronaldo's record breaking 2011/12 season. Ahead of the official launch of the Vapor IX, Nike have created a separate design bespoke to Ronaldo featuring bold graphics and numbers.

The CR Mercurial IX will feature a white upper and pink swoosh, with a bold CR7 graphic on the medial side. The numbers that signify Ronaldo's record breaking goals scored and achievements during the 11/12 season are reflected across the lateral side of the boot.



Ronaldo's CR Mercurial Vapor IX boots in numbers:

1st Spanish league title. 9 goals scored for Portugal. 14 games played for the national team. 19 first player to score against all 19 rival teams competing in La Liga in a season. 27 years old in 2012. 55 matches played in all competitions for club. 60 goals scored in all competitions for club.




Only 100 pairs of the boots will be produced worldwide, making the CR Mercurial Vapor IX one of Nike's most limited boot models in its history. Cristiano Ronaldo will wear the boots for the first time on Sunday January 6th when Real Madrid take on Real Sociedad - just one day before FIFA announce the winner of the Ballon d'Or award. Do Nike know something we don't?





Already Ronaldo has been spotted training in his new Vapor IX boots. Last season was a very special one for me, helping my team and country achieve success, said Ronaldo. It s great to celebrate these achievements and also have a great pair of Mercurial boots to recognize the moment. I ll enjoy playing in them for sure.
