The image of the Portuguese superstar wearing shoes with the name of his partner’s daughter became a topic of discussion on social networks.

Some observant fans spotted Ronaldo wearing two different pairs of shoes in the EURO 2024 group stage match that took place on the night of June 22. In the first half, CR7 wore blue shoes, he switched to pink shoes for the rest of the match. It is worth mentioning that the accessories used by the Portuguese superstar can be borrowed from his partner Bruno Fernandes.

Cristiano Ronaldo has many years of cooperation with Nike. The Portuguese team also wears suits provided by an American company at EURO 2024. At the tournament in Germany, the Saudi Pro League’s top scorer wears a pair of green Nike Superfly MDS8s.

The shoes were made specifically for Bruno Fernandes and had his daughter’s name printed on them.

However, in the second half of the match against Türkiye, the Portugal captain switched to wearing the pink Vapor 15 “Mad Brilliance” model. At the same time, CR7’s shoes are also a special edition, reserved for his teammate Bruno Fernandes with his name and that of his daughter Maltide engraved on them.

This excited many Internet users, because after changing shoes, Ronaldo had an assist to “set the table” for the player wearing the number 8 shirt. In the situation in which Portugal made the score 3-0, Ronaldo despite that the opponent faced. The opposing goalkeeper passed the ball to Bruno Fernandes to score. This is a historic goal for CR7 himself, which helps him establish a record as the player with the most assists in EURO periods.

Some social media accounts even joked that the decision to pass Bruno was his way of “rewarding” his teammate for lending him his sneakers. At the same time, rumors were also repeated that these two players had fallen out after problems while playing for Manchester United.

The Mercurial Dream Speed (MDS) line of sneakers was launched by Nike in 2019, represented by a series of famous players, led by Ronaldo. The American sportswear company introduced the MDS8 earlier this year, sporting a green and black color scheme. The shoes are equipped with an Air Zoom sole that increases elasticity to withstand acceleration.

The company places a soft, stretchy fabric collar to protect the ankles. However, the Portuguese superstar often cuts off the high collars of his shoes. Nike also had to produce Superfly pairs with fabric on the lower ankle specifically for CR7.

Meanwhile, the low-cut Vapor model was the Portuguese superstar’s initial choice in his early stages of professional competition, before representing the Superfly line. Ronaldo got his seventh assist in all the Euro Cups wearing Bruno Fernandes’ Vapor 15.
