Boot Spotting: Ronaldo Returns to Wear Old Colorway of Nike Mercurial Boots
- Ronaldo's Boot Choice: Ronaldo switched back to the older 'Mad Ambition' colorway of Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 boots from July 2024, after wearing the newer Nike Mercurial Dream Speed 9 boots since November 2024.
- Reason for Change: The Nike Mercurial Dream Speed 9 boots may have been damaged, leading to the switch back to the older model.
- Nike Ambassador Status: Ronaldo's choice to wear older boots suggests he may no longer be Nike's top ambassador, giving him more freedom in his boot selection.
In Al Nassr's latest training session, Ronaldo unexpectedly returned to wearing the old 'Mad Ambition' colorway of the Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 boots (launched from summer 2024) instead of the latest 'Mad Energy' colorway.
Ronaldo Returns to Wear Old Colorway of Nike Mercurial Boots
Having worn the Nike Mercurial Dream Speed 9 boots from November 2024 until now, Ronaldo suddenly returned to wearing the older 'Mad Ambition' colorway (released from July 2024).
The reason CR7 is no longer wearing MDS 009s is probably because they are too old and the eyelets have torn after being on his feet for too long.
Wearing the old colorway of the Vapor 16 boot instead of the new one again confirms that Ronaldo is no longer Nike's top ambassador.
Now Ronaldo is no longer forced to wear the latest colorways every time the Mercurial boots are released. He has switched to Vapor instead of Superfly and can wear any colorway he wants.
