Nike Unveils Air Zoom Mercurial CR7 World Cup Edition for Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo will wear a special edition Nike Mercurial at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The latest signature release features a design inspired by Portuguese culture and advanced performance technology built for elite soccer.

Design Inspired by Portuguese Azulejo Tiles

The Air Zoom Mercurial Superfly IX CR7 features an exclusive pattern that pays tribute to Portuguese heritage. According to Nike, “Like Cristiano Ronaldo, azulejo tiles are a Portuguese national treasure. For the Nike Zoom Mercurial Superfly 9 Elite CR7, we took visual inspiration from the Portuguese icons to show what can be achieved when one dedicates themselves to the craft.”

Performance Features: Zoom Airbag and Tri-Star Studs

The boot is built from the ground up for the modern player. Key elements include:

Articulated, three‑quarter length Zoom airbag – positioned directly inside the plate to bring the foot closer to the ground, delivering a snappy, propulsive energy return.
Flex grooves – integrated into the Zoom airbag for flexibility and natural foot movement during dynamic play.
Tri‑Star stud pattern – a new design that helps players move laterally and downhill for faster play in all directions.

Ronaldo is currently enduring a difficult period at club level, but he will lead Portugal in Qatar. The 2022 World Cup is widely expected to be his last, placing intense focus on his performances. The new Mercurial design ensures he will stand out on the pitch.
