Nike has revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo's boots, the Mercurial Vapor I, with which he started his career at Sporting Lisbon, will be put on sale. The shoe design will be identical to the original, with black and yellow tones on the inside, maintaining the old style and true to the model that the footballer used in his early days. The jersey accompanying these boots features black and gold colors, with Cristiano Ronaldo's distinctive brand on the upper right.
The player, currently at Al-Nassr, has expressed his gratitude to the club for the details they have had with him, being the team that gave him the opportunity to start his career. Cristiano Ronaldo has mentioned several times his intention to play at least one more season before retiring from professional football.
The president of Sporting Lisbon, Frederico Varandas, commented that the third kit of the team has become the best-selling kit in the history of the sport. Although Nike has not yet announced the launch date or the price of the boots, it was noted that they will be available in limited quantities. The arrival of the Mercurial Vapor I is expected with great anticipation, following the recent release of the Total 90 that stirred nostalgia among football fans.
Cristiano Ronaldo has stated: “I will retire there. I have to give at least one season of my service,” reaffirming his commitment to the game before hanging up his boots. It is worth noting that the launch of the Total 90 was carried out through a temporary raffle, with set prices, to allow lucky winners to purchase the product. It is possible that the sales dynamic will be repeated with Cristiano Ronaldo's Mercurial Vapor I.
