Overview
- Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in Portugal’s 5-0 win over Uzbekistan and became the first player to score at six separate FIFA World Cup tournaments.
- Nike launched the Gold Mercurial Superfly RGN worldwide the day after the Uzbekistan match as a commemorative edition tied to Ronaldo’s milestone.
- Footy Headlines and Nike detail the boot’s metallic-gold look, 3/4-length Air Zoom unit, Flywire support and a tacky soft upper, with retail pricing set at $300.
- Media reports say Ronaldo is likely to wear the limited boot in Portugal’s upcoming group match with Colombia, a possibility shaped by his lifetime partnership with Nike.
- Ronaldo has stressed that records are secondary to team goals, and the quick product release highlights how brands turn on-field milestones into high-value collectibles and World Cup marketing.
