Cristiano Ronaldo’s 2011/2012 Legendary Season and Personalized Nike CR Mercurial IX

  

The numbers defy belief but Cristiano Ronaldo smashed all records last season, blazing a trail through all competitions and placing the Portugal striker at the summit of world football. 

To recognize this achievement, Nike has created a new boot in his honour – The CR Mercurial IX. The boot features a striking white upper and pink swoosh, with a bold CR7 graphic.

Seven numbers are featured on the lateral side of the boot and reflected in a bold CR7 graphic on the medial side. The numbers signify CR’S record breaking goals scored and achievements during the 2011/2012 season and include the following:

• 1st Spanish league title

• 9 goals scored for Portugal

• 14 games played for the national team

• 19 first player to score against all 19 rival teams competing in La Liga in a season

• 27 years old in 2012

• 55 matches played in all competitions for club

• 60 goals scored in all competitions for club

“Last season was a very special one for me, helping my team and country achieve success,” said Cristiano Ronaldo.  “It’s great to celebrate these achievements and also have a great pair of Mercurial boots to recognize the moment. I’ll enjoy playing in them for sure.”

Cristiano Ronaldo will wear the new CR Mercurial IX on Sunday, January 6^th, 2013.

100 pairs of the CR Mercurial IX white boot will be available at Nike.com and key online retailers February 7^th, 2013.
