Cristiano Ronaldo is poised to renew his partnership with Nike as a lead ambassador by 2026. This comes as the sportswear giant plans to unveil his first genuine signature boots in three years.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Nike Renaissance in 2026
The renowned football icon is expected to receive a golden Mercurial Vapor 1 boot featuring his CR7 branding. This landmark event will mark the return of his signature footwear for the first time since 2022.
The Mercurial Vapor Superfly 1
Nike is also set to resurrect the Mercurial Vapor Superfly 1 model in gold specifically for Ronaldo. Recently, he has been testing prototype versions of this anticipated remake. This has sparked excitement among fans and pundits alike.
Background on Ronaldo’s Signature Line
- Since the 2022 World Cup, Nike has not launched any new CR7 signature footwear actively promoted by Ronaldo.
- The last release was in 2025 with the Mercurial CR7 “Regen” boots, where Ronaldo was not featured in advertising.
The Future of CR7 Signature Boots
In 2026, the situation is expected to change significantly. Ronaldo’s golden Mercurial Vapor 1 will become his 33rd signature soccer shoe. This renewed focus on his line of boots could signal a broader role for him within Nike.
Potential for the 2026 World Cup
Although there are currently no plans for dedicated CR7 signature boots specifically for the 2026 World Cup, the event is fast approaching. With just six months remaining, there is hope among fans that Ronaldo might showcase the new golden Superfly 1 during the tournament held in the USA, Mexico, and Canada.
As the excitement builds, it remains to be seen how this partnership will evolve and whether Ronaldo will truly engage as a full ambassador for Nike once again.
