Nike have unveiled the Nike Mercurial Superfly CR7 Chapter II - 'Natural Diamond'. Chapter One was fire infused with tenacity. Shifting the story on a transition, Chapter Two focuses on Ronaldo's move away from is childhood home in madeira to Lisbon on a quest to become a professional player.
Having left home at just the age of twelve, his talent in its rawest form, it was there for all to see. An underlying boot that holds messages of strength and perseverance with a beautiful cut of style that continues to tear through the pitch.
Solid foundations to form inspiration for the design of this boot, the 'Natural Diamond' shines through, depicting how Cristiano Ronaldo has forged with game through sheer hard work over the years. Breaking the mould, for the first time Nike textured the heel of a Mercurial for this boot. Designed to look rocky and rough it represents those early years away from home when Ronaldo was refining his game to show the promise of the player he would become. As sharp a transition from front to back as they become, the forefoot is smoothened out again symbolic of his journey. Quite simply, awesome attention to detail.
A 'Natural Diamond' that has been crafted under the immense pressure of the elite game, there's no more a fitting name for a player who truly sits at the pinnacle of the global game. Hitting the Nike Football App on March 20th, these will go on sale around the world from 22nd March.
