The Mercurial CR7 Rare Gold boots have an extra diamond touch with hand-set diamonds applied to the CR7 logo, which comprises the initials and shirt number of the Real Madrid player.
Nike said the micro-diamonds are remnants from larger stones. “As the diamonds are refined and the details sharpened, tiny pieces are cut away, leaving micro-diamonds behind as evidence of work in progress. The commitment to keep chipping away at something already impressive reminded Nike’s design team of Ronaldo’s work ethic. While many see Ronaldo as the best in the world, he sees room for improvement.”
