Nike is now ready to present chapter 4, in the legend of Cristiano Ronaldo - with the latest signature boot. With the phrase “Forged for greatness”, this chapter celebrates Ronaldo’s time at Manchester United from 2003-2009. On the 12th August 2003 the 18 year old Cristiano Ronaldo arrived in Manchester as the newest Red Devil. With an expectation to play in the number 28 shirt, just as he had done at his previous club. But the legendary manager, Sir Alex Ferguson had other ideas. Ferguson wanted Ronaldo to play in number 7, which surprised Ronald as he was well aware of the great players that had previously worn number 7. Any doubt was quickly put to rest, as Cristiano Ronaldo quickly proved himself worthy of wearing number 7. Ronaldo often describes the 5 years as a Red Devil, as the years where he truly mastered the art of the beautiful game. Not only did his technical abilities improve, his physical abilities were greatly improved. No wonder, Ronaldo was one of the key factors in Manchester United's success in those years. The club won the Premier League three times, the UEFA Champions League, the FA Cup, the English League Cup, the english Super Cup twice, and finally the FIFA Club World Cup. Cristiano Ronaldo himself, earned the UEFA Best Player in Europe 2008, FIFA Ballon d’Or 2008, UEFA Champions League Player of the Year 2007/2008, English Footballer of the Year 2007 and 2008, as well as UEFA Champions League Topscorer 2007/2007 with 8 goals and topscorer in Premier League 2007/2008 with 31 goals. These remarkable years, where Cristiano Ronaldo transformed himself, is the inspiration for the 4th of 7 chapters. The gradient design; going from red to orange, ending in metallic tones reflects the forging of the metal. This is beyond a tribute to the player Cristiano Ronaldo, but also a tribute to the city of Manchester. The CR7 logo on the inside of the boot, is subdued - with the number 7 being highlighted. This is to mark his transformation, becoming the CR7 we know today. Likewise on the outer heel cap, the roman numerals XXVIII are printed - meaning 28. but the VII is highlighted, also to show his journey from being number 28 to becoming the legendary number 7. Mercurial is designed for the explosive player, that has a need for speed. It is for the player that shows unrivaled acceleration, speed and unpredictability - while letting his opponents taste the dust when being outrunned. • Chapter 4: Forged for Greatness - fourth part of CR7’s football journey • Signature boot for the Portuguese Real Madrid superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo • Flyknit upper - Weight only on 191 gram Redefined speed Mercurial Superfly V is the most advanced boot technology wise, ever produced by Nike. By combining science with design, Nike has managed to develop a boot where all components work together with one purpose: to allow the player to reach his full potential. The boots are lighter and stronger than ever before, backed by science and designed to work together with the foot. This is the science of speed, this is speed redefined! Flyknit upper combined with Speed Rib cables The boot has a Flyknit upper with a integrated Speed Rib technology, which is a special cable structure woven into the upper. The cables starts with being 1 mm in the back and 2,5 mm in the front foot. The purpose with this, is to create friction between the boot and the football, so you get an improved touch on the ball and a closer, more precise and natural touch when dribbling, passing or shooting in high speed. Meanwhile some of the Speed Rib cables are connected to the outsole and laces, which helps keeping your foot pressed down against the insole. This ensure an optimal lockdown, which is necessary in high pace and fast-paced quick turns, while also making the boot as responsive as possible. The light and strong Flyknit upper is made in one piece. It is extremely flexible and moves with your foot, so it feels like one with your feet. This gives a comfort and fit which is unmatched. The tongue is removed so you get a close touch on the ball and an improved control. The upper is furthermore coated with the NikeSkin and All Conditions Control (ACC) technology. The NikeSkin secures a light, breathable and tight fit, by combining a thin PU-layer with a performance mesh. The ACC-technology is a thin coating of the upper that secures a good touch in all kinds of weather. Dynamic Fit Collar gives the best possible fit The Dynamic Fit Collar is the part of the boot which continues above the ankles and looks similar to a sock. This extension of the football boot is one of the most significant changes and the sock.like desing adds to keeping your feet in place. It creates a feeling of the boot being an extension of your body and legs. Your attention towards your feet is heightened and the level of interaction with the football is significantly raised. Groundbreaking way of thinking is the foundation for a unique outsole A conventional way of thinking, when talking about outsoles for a pair of football boots, has been flat form. But Nike realised that the problem was, that people’s feet was anything else but flat. As a logical consequence of this, Nike started working on the development of a new outsole plate, which follows the foots anatomy. The result became a curved and light nylon outsole, which consists of a single layer chassis, that is 40% lighter, stronger and more responsive than the carbon sole on the Superfly IV. By having an anatomic outsole which follows the foot, it reduces the gap, which existed on the carbon sole, and offers a more natural fit. On the front foot the sole has a Split-Toe function, which increases the foot’s flexibility in the boots, so you get an improved grip on the pitch. Stud system designed for acceleration and deceleration In the modern edition of this beautiful game, much can be decided, if you can run and change directions quickly. An essential aspect in this,is that you can achieve a high speed within short time. A thing which is equally important, but often forgotten, is if you can stop quickly enough. Nike has designed a completely new stud system with help from an advanced computer system. Pressure points and the flow of power was mapped. So was different forms, patterns and compositions - all being thoroughly analyzed. Nike found the ideal combination, and the studs were placed at different place where grip was needed the most. The studs are angled so they work as claws during acceleration and quick turns. They work equally effective when decelerating, which makes it easy for you to stop and change direction when you want. Weight: 191 gram This FG boot is made for firm ground surfaces such as natural grass.
