Nike Mercurial Vapor IX CR FG Galaxy - Obsidian / Silver
Comes with spare laces, no bag and replacement box.
The seventh signature colourway for Cristiano Ronaldo, Nike’s bold ‘Supernova’ all-over graphic is inspired by Ronaldo’s ‘out of this world’ play-style and limitless attitude towards football.
This edition of the Mercurial Vapor IX boot features an all-over digital print of the Star Vela Supernova and includes a seven star path print, paying homage to Cristiano’s shirt number. The supernova print is juxtaposed with a chrome swoosh dotted with silver fleck and a Blue Glow outline.
Technically, this is the same Mercurial Vapor IX you’ve come to know and love and – as is de rigueur for a Cristiano Ronaldo Vapor IX – favours the leather-like upper over the Speed Control Texture version.
“We were watching a game, and after Cristiano scored yet another amazing free-kick the commentator posed the question ‘Is Ronaldo from this planet?!’
When we got back to the design studio we got to thinking about CR7’s style and how similar it was to the definition of a supernova – a celestial body that radiates energy – and that was it, we had our inspiration.”– Denis Dekovic, Nike Footwear Design Director.
