Nike presents the CR7 Chapter 6: “Born Leader”

August 20, 2003: Cristiano Ronaldo makes his debut with the Portugal national team being 18 years and 6 months old.

February 6, 2007: Cristiano Ronaldo plays his first game as captain for the national team, a day after turning 22 years old.

Game after game, the champion from Madeira is writing his name in the history of the Portugal national team, after becoming the player with more caps, more caps as captain, more goals, and of course the one who led Portugal to the conquest of the 2016 European Championship. Today, Nike Football celebrates the special connection between CR7 and the Seleção presenting the Mercurial CR7 Chapter 6: “Born Leader”.

The new boots by the Swoosh are the sixth of seven chapters that want to homage Cristiano Ronaldo’s amazing career. In this case, highlighting his connection with the Lusitan team, which he’s been leading for more than 10 years. Both on and off the pitch - like during the European Cup finals, when he supported the team as injured - CR7 is the pillar of the Portuguese expedition, that in the summer will try to accomplish the hardest challenge in the sports world: win the World Cup. The Mercurial CR7 Chapter 6: “Born Leader” brings the traditional color palette of the Seleção, with references to the sea exploration tradition of the country. The Nike Mercurial CR7 Chapter 6: Born Leader boot is available March 20 on nike.com and Mach 22 in stores.
