Cristiano Ronaldo Receives Limited Edition Nike Mercurial CR7 Victórias Boots After Ballon d'Or 2016 Win

Cristiano Ronaldo was named the winner of the 2016 FIFA Ballon d’Or, an award presented by France Football magazine. It marked the fourth time the Portuguese striker received this individual honor. Following his Champions League victory with Real Madrid and his role as captain of Portugal’s Euro 2016 winning squad in France, Ronaldo was widely expected to take the prize.

Beyond the Ballon d’Or, Ronaldo’s sport sponsor Nike — which recently signed him to a multi‑million contract — surprised him with a commemorative pair of boots: the Nike Mercurial CR7 Victórias. The name reflects his achievements in 2016, which Ronaldo described as “one of my best years ever.”

A standout detail appears on the heel area, where “VICTÓRIAS” is printed along with a serial number. Nike limited production of this edition to just 777 pairs worldwide.

Why 777 Pairs?

The number 7 has been associated with Ronaldo throughout nearly his entire career. Numbers 7 or 77 alone seemed insufficient for fans’ expectations, so the choice of 777 aligns with his iconic jersey number.
