Like Cristiano Ronaldo, azulejo tiles are a Portuguese national treasure. For the Nike Zoom Mercurial Superfly 9 Academy CR7, we took visual inspiration from the Portuguese icons to show what can be achieved when one dedicates themselves to the craft. Now loaded with a soccer specific Zoom Air unit, you can put the pedal down in the waning minutes of a match—when it matters most.
AZULEJO INSPIRATION
The allover, 1-of-a-kind graphic on the upper pays tribute to some of CR7’s past cleats in an azulejo pattern.
WELCOME TO THE FIELD, ZOOM
For the first time in our history, Nike has developed an all-new Zoom Air unit. It sits in the outsole and provides an additional level of springy underfoot feel that helps you move faster on the field and create separation when it matters the most—whether you're scoring goals, being first to the ball or going by defenders.
DRIVE YOUR SPEED
The speed cage inside of the structure is made of a thin but strong material that secures the foot to the outsole without adding additional weight for optimal lockdown.
