The Nike Mercurial Superfly CR7 Vitórias Is Dropping Tomorrow : Football Boots : Soccer Bible

You ready? The mad scramble to secure a pair of limited edition Nike Mercurial Superfly CR7 Vitórias boots will commence tomorrow. The most sought after release of the year may well have come early in 2017 as Nike put 777 pairs up for grabs through their own channels and those of selective partners.

We've sneaked in at the front of the queue to take a closer look at the latest signature drop from the famed CR7 series ahead of the launch tomorrow (Jan 10). You're probably not going to get your hands on a pair but you can definitely have a good look at some nice photos of them at least. 



Why are they limited edition? In case you missed it the first time around, the Nike Mercurial Superfly CR7 Vitórias was revealed in December by the Swoosh to celebrate Cristiano Ronaldo's fourth Ballon d'Or success. Oh, and the fact he also won the Champions League League and EURO 2016 in the same year. The clinical white upper and gold soleplate a real statement of superiority for their icon of success.



Each pair is individually numbered on the heels, with the most desirable numbers probably being 007 or 777. Kudos if you snag either of those. As for the boots themselves, you're looking at a Pure Platinum upper with a subtle blue metallic shine and an elegant fade from heel to toe. The Metallic Gold plate is a nod to the gold trophies Ronaldo won this year and the heel graphic reads “Vitórias,” Portuguese for victories. The CR7 logo and Swoosh are further highlighted by an iridescent shimmer. You'll need to be persistent to reach the checkout. Get refreshing. 

Want a pair? Try your luck here from Jan 10.
