It’s been a fortnight since the last time, so Nike have rolled out another new design for their top-tier Mercurials.
Dubbed the ‘Superfly CR7 Silverware’, the new boots look tailor-made for the eponymous glitter princess himself, Cristiano Ronaldo.
As you may have guessed, they are silver. Very silver. And sparkly too…
They look like something Marc Bolan would’ve worn on Top of the Pops in 1974 and we can’t quite decided if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.
Anyway, as per the accompanying blurb, the new Superfly CR7 Silverware colourway “leverages a unique shimmer effect…inspired by the silver trophies elite players like Ronaldo pursue this time of year”.
Okay with that? You bloody well better be okay with that.
They even come with blueprints, should you want to replicate them at home using tin-foil, PVA glue, egg cartons and Fairy liquid bottles.
REMEMBER: Always ask an adult to help you when using sharp scissors.
We can’t wait to get started.
