Cristiano Ronaldo and Nike are commemorating a pivotal moment in football history with the return of the Nike Mercurial Vapor 1 “Dark Cinder.” This special-edition boot pays tribute to Ronaldo’s professional debut at 17 years old, when he first stepped onto the pitch for Sporting CP in 2002. The reissued colorway remains true to the original while integrating modern performance enhancements.
Nike has meticulously recreated the “Dark Cinder” colorway with remarkable attention to detail. The upper retains its rich brown hue, complemented by a crisp white Swoosh, while vibrant maize-colored accents on the lining and heel provide striking contrast. This updated version maintains the sleek, streamlined silhouette of the original while incorporating a thin synthetic upper for enhanced ball control, delivering a highly responsive feel on the pitch. Additionally, Air Zoom cushioning ensures explosive speed and superior comfort, blending heritage with cutting-edge performance.
