MILAN – The eyes of the footballing world will be focused on Milan in just a couple of days and Cristiano Ronaldo will be wearing the new Mercurials in the biggest match of the year.
These are the latest version of the most innovative football boots around: light and extremely technologically advanced, they were designed with pace more than everything else in mind.
The original Ronaldo was there at the beginning of the Mercurial brand back in 1998 and today he was present at The Science of Speed centre in Milan. This location is wholly inspired by the concept of pace which Nike has created for everyone who is passionate about football and wants to enjoy an unforgettable experience.
Ronaldo was welcomed by thousands of fans at the centre and was present to hand over the first-ever Mercurial Superfly V boots that were released exclusively onto the global market.
"Pace was always an attribute that distinguished my style of play," Ronaldo said. "It allowed me to make the difference in the decisive moments during the biggest games. The Mercurial boots were created to satisfy the needs of players like me and Cristiano Ronaldo."
Everyone who has subscribed to nike.com/football can discover the secrets behind the techniques used to create the professionals' football boots, personalise their own Mercurial Superfly V using the NIKEiD, test themselves against Cristiano Ronaldo's pace and take part in training sessions led by Inter coaches.
The Science of Speed centre can be found at 18 Via Vigevano and is open to the public, provided you have subscribed to the Nike football website, from 10:00 to 22:00 every day until Saturday 28 May.
