This is the reason nike is failing and stock dropping everyday. How can a company have the most followed person on social media and not capitalize on it. But adidas releases a messi boot every week.
Ronaldo isn’t the marketing powerhouse he once was. The fact that he is the most followed person on social media isn’t an excuse to give him a new pair of designated boots if he isn’t performing at a top level club or with his national team. Heck his presence wasn’t enough to convince Nike to be directly involved with supplying Al Nassr’s kits. Messi’s recent titles with Argentina has made it a no brainer for Adidas to continue marketing him until the day he retires. It also helps that the MLS and Adidas have a very tight knit partnership.
@giogonzalez9590 anything with cr7 sells. If a guy gets 60 million followers in 3 days on RUclips he's not marketable in what planet?. Cr7 has 1 billion yes billion with a B followers across all platforms. But he isn't marketable? Him and Messi will always be marketable. Cr7 has beef with nike and we eventually will find out why.
Not to mention their products gone wrong, like gx2 changing the soleplate to luna for fg version, adding gripknit to mercurials for no reason and changing from leather to synthetic on tiempos
Ronaldo's marketing power is enormous and he's trying to restructure his contract with Nike but Nike think he's not playing at the highest level anymore and thus doesn't deserve a payrise. Same happened with Roger Federer.
this move by Nike, could be their last with CR7? And a New contract with... Adidas? Imagine this: adidas having the two goats... Finally, at end, Messi and CR7 together.
3:30 He feels he's not being treated fairly by Nike contractwise so he's doing whatever he wants.. Nike used him to promote the superfly but he wasn't really a fan, hence going for the midcut as a compromise. He's sick of Nike now. Since before the euros he wasn't wearing the newest coloways till later on.

Ronaldo has been wearing self cutted - low cut boots mercurial since february of this year 2024. He or someone for him cut the high ankle collar off with scissors. You can notice the rough edges during training pictures for example. He has been wearing it like that for a good 5 months, until 2 friendly games(croatia and finland which he played) just before the EURO 2024 tournament. And during the EURO 2024 tournament until the second half vs Turkey. There he wore a borrowed normal made low cut pair mercurials from Bruno Fernandes. After that he wore midcut mercurials again until the end of his EURO 2024 journey. His first match after the EURO 2024 was against "Al Taawon" on August 14 2024. Since that match until this day as of typing this (November 9 2024). He has only worn, the currently newest mercurial 16 in a normal standard made (non self cutted) low cut version.
i have the cosmic speeds but what do you recommend i feel like changing them for these because of the lack of grip on the cosmic speed the color great but why have gripknit if its not gonna work idk if its gonna wear down over time the lacker on the gripknit or pain on it but what can you advise me
the designer is a messi fan. barely green to light blue represents argentina. orange or i'd say soft pink, represents inter miami. gold swoosh represents world cup trophy that living rent free in ronaldo's head
I feel like Nike are doing their best to phase Ronaldo out without phasing him out but I feel like this is a big mistake from Nikes part whereas adidas are still pushing out all the Messi merch and sure it’s never been as popular than cr7 but they’re doing a good job in my opinion at least showing a difference between Messi and the other players they push heavily, whereas Nike it’s almost like simultaneously they’re trying to push Ronaldo out but also know none of the next gen of stars have his star power and may not ever get to his level, mbappe was pushed for a while but his flame hasn’t gotten bigger since he won the World Cup in my opinion and the colour ways keep on getting worse and worse his best ones were his first few. Nike need to either cut Ronaldo from the dream speed or simply do a better job with the boot the cosmic speed felt like they were trying to start something new with newer players but the colour way sold that boot more than the players and it was highly limited as well so there was hype
@@p.eriickk I know they do. I was answering your original question. In THIS colorway, the Vapor is FG only & the Superfly is FG or SG only. Jaymike said it in his video
Why Nike doing Ronaldo dirty. Signature Mercurials have been very ugly since maybe 2020. The last cool ones in my opinion were the blue superflys from 2019-20 season
hey Josh i know its been months but i need to ask you, i wanna get the f50 messi league you talked about but i never wore adidas before so should i get my usual nike sizing? ( i wore 44 eu, cant understand the us sizing)
I wouldn’t recommend FG stud pattern Mercurials for use on artificial grass in general. They do make an AG stud pattern version that would be a much better choice though
These designers and their "stories". None of that comes through when you look at the boot, and even if you know the story, you can't see it. If its that easy to be a designer and get a big paycheck, sign me up
Sometimes, the boots that were undesirable become the most sought-after in the future. Nostalgia has yet to be measured.

cristiano aint Messi
Just say you don’t like the color bro💀
Boot colour is trash
@@woodley9428 opinions…
The AIR logo looks awful (but they look awful on most of the boots)
Think it’s a valid gripe specially if the colour affects price and it’s not visually worth it.
@@C41N4 not opinion looks like someone splashed some paint and put gold on it and priced it for 380 and called it a day

Haha i liked the barley CR7 part
Why did Josh never get the cosmic speed mercurials
These would be gorgeous in Superfly 9s
Kids still love CR7 like why would you move on to younger players who aren't as huge
When will they release the AG vapor 16 elite for this colorway?
Them string bag ratings gets me everytime 😂

Your so dumb
Al naser is sponsored by adidas so he’s has to wear adidas socks shirts and pants

Any idea why the chance was made?
Youth doesn’t offer superbly anymore for pro models.
These are fire 🔥

At this point Nike has been incredibly poor when it comes to signature cr7 colorways. The MDS series has peaked since the MDS 003

Is an ag version coming out of this? If so any confirmed date?
Don’t think there is, unfortunately.
vapor is fg only. superfly has fg & sg
@@poetanderson3 mercurials come in all platforms, ag, sg, and fg. Just they don’t make it in ag for all color ways for sum reason fo the most part.
@@p.eriickk I know they do. I was answering your original question. In THIS colorway, the Vapor is FG only & the Superfly is FG or SG only. Jaymike said it in his video
Mine comes tomorrow, then got a game the following day! Can’t wait!
what do we need to do for CR7 boots to have the swoosh on the toe just like when he made the boot famous
He's been wearing the Vapor for a while now.
Can you do nike mercurial vapor elite vs mizuno morelia neo 4 beta mij?
This looks cold
I got the vapor 16 pro ambition pack ima sell them to get these in pro
Cr7 ❤. 😊
Why Nike doing Ronaldo dirty. Signature Mercurials have been very ugly since maybe 2020. The last cool ones in my opinion were the blue superflys from 2019-20 season
I personally liked the mbappe purple mercurials
hey Josh i know its been months but i need to ask you, i wanna get the f50 messi league you talked about but i never wore adidas before so should i get my usual nike sizing? ( i wore 44 eu, cant understand the us sizing)
Nike and Adidas EU sizing is the same, so yes, same size compared to most Nike boots 👍
@ thanks, really appreciate it
Can these perform well on artificial grass? Do you recommend them?
I wouldn’t recommend FG stud pattern Mercurials for use on artificial grass in general. They do make an AG stud pattern version that would be a much better choice though
If the base color was white I’d buy them instantly
can anyone recommend what is better the the predator 24 pro or Predator League Fold-Over Tongue? I'm so lost
Neither are great tbh
what fits more narrower? The Superfly 10s or the Vapor 16s?
i think the vapors are narrower, but idk
They’re exactly the same

Mate your toes like they've been smashed in in the toe box, I mean your MTP joints are pertruding through the natural shape of the material
👏👏👏
I don’t really like them
