Here at Bootsfinder we love signature boots. Since his first ever signature Nike Mercurial Superfly football boots in 2010, Cristiano Ronaldo or CR7 has had a run unlike any other footballer - ever. 31 different looks created specifically for the Portuguese football legend, stating his journey, revering his many achievements, and commemorating his position as the greatest Nike player in football to date.
Here's an insight into each model in chronological order – which pair(s) do you have?
The boots:
1. October 2010 - Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly II CR ‘Safari’ FG – | A ground-breaking event as Nike launched the first ever signature edition Superfly for Cristiano Ronaldo. The distinctive safari pattern (introduced on the 1987 Air Safari designed by Tinker Hatfield) was integrated into the flywire upper to demonstrate CR7’s pace and elegance. It was first seen in a match in the Real Madrid derby clash on November 2010. Production run and very rare. Launch price: £300.
2. April 2011 Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly III CR ‘Safari Black’ – CR7’s second signature pair presented a black-on-black 3D lamination safari texture contrasted with Nike’s luminous yellow/ green “volt” tick and details. Cristiano Ronaldo showed this model in the Copa del Rey 'El Clásico' final in April 2011 against Barcelona, facing his adversary Messi and going on to score the only goal in the match to help Madrid win their 18th trophy. Production run and extremely rare. Launch Price: £280
3. November 2011 Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly CR7 III – Nike pushed boundaries for a unique design with an extravagant pattern only suitable for Cristiano Ronaldo's unique style, persona and flair. It didn't seem possible that Nike could eclipse the Safari, but Nike did it once again! Production run and very rare. Launch Price: £280
