Last December, Nike took the wraps off the limited edition Air Force 1 “CR7” for Cristiano Ronaldo. This time around, the Swoosh gifts the soccer superstar a luxurious pair of AF1 lows draped in 24k gold for his 33rd birthday. The celebratory sneaker looks similar to the recent “CR7” edition sans patchwork swooshes on the lateral sides alongside gold detailing on the tongue label and heel tabs. Both pairs however, are predominantly wrapped in crisp white.
