Apart from Cristiano Ronaldo, other prominent athletes like Erling Haaland, Bruno Fernandes, and Kylian Mbappe also wore the first Dream Speed version of the 2021 Mercurial MDS004, further boosting the shoe’s fame.

3. Ronaldo’s Nike Mercurial Superfly “CR7STIANO”
The 2019 Bianconeri Nike Mercurial Superfly “CR7STIANO” edition was specially created for Cristiano Ronaldo. This design drew inspiration from the black, white, and gold CR7 Nike Superfly cleats Ronaldo wore during his first season with Juventus.
The Nike Mercurial Superfly Cristiano Ronaldo 2019 soccer boots are predominantly black and showcase a prominent “CR7STIANO” print along the outside of the upper. The shoe’s sole plate, a small Swoosh, and the large ‘7’ featured in gold metallic color enhance the overall design.
Additionally, the “CR7STIANO” sockliner in black and gold is quite striking. On the left side, it displays Ronaldo’s shirt number and signature, while the right insole features an illustration of his unique free-kick stance. The primary color of the shoe is black.
Each pair was priced at approximately $350, and only 2,019 pairs were released on May 6, 2019, exclusively through Nike’s online store.
4. Nike Zoom Mercurial Superfly 9 Elite
The Cristiano Ronaldo Zoom Mercurial Superfly 9 Elite boots, branded by Swoosh, were released on October 31, 2022. Priced at $275 (EUR 275, GBP 230), these boots were available in limited quantities through the brand’s online stores.
These boots are Cristiano Ronaldo’s official footwear for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
Featuring a predominantly white design with accents of concord and metallic copper, the boots are officially labeled as “White/Metallic Copper/Concord.” The design draws inspiration from the traditional Portuguese azulejos.
5. Nike Mercurial Superfly VII “Safari”
The Safari boots first launched in 2010, quickly becoming a classic. Nike revisited this legendary design a decade later with a revamped version, which hit the market on June 17, 2020, priced at approximately $300.
The safari print, originally featured on Tinker Hatfield’s 1987 Air Safari, was incorporated into the boots for their debut on the pitch during the Madrid Derby in November 2010. This design choice was intended to showcase the player’s quick reflexes and effortless style.
A unique tonal chevron pattern, both reflective and non-reflective, was layered over the safari print, creating a striking effect under different lighting.
These boots have been worn by football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo throughout his career.
