After revealing the signature sneaker in December 2017 to mark Cristiano Ronaldo winning his fifth Ballon d'Or, Nike are set to finally drop the limited-edition Air Force 1 CR7 Golden Patchwork today as it lands in retailers.

The latest addition to football's most decorated signature series continues CR7's venture into the premium lifestyle market, a move that no other player has yet to achieve with such hype, and such style.
Quite clearly CR7 is still performing at the top of the game, but with time no longer on his side Nike could be beginning to install the Real Madrid man as a key lifestyle component of their football collection as he approaches the off-pitch scene. If that is the plan, then it's one they're executing perfectly right now.

The limited edition Nike Air Force 1 CR7 Golden Patchwork is built with a white leather lining that allows the textured golden leather Swoosh to take centre stage. The CR7 and Nike Air logos are embroidered onto the golden heel tabs, and CR7's signature is hidden on the inside of the shoe. Dropping today. The race is on...
