NK Air Max 97 Cristiano Ronaldo Metallic Gold

The Nike Air Max 97 "Cristiano Ronaldo Metallic Gold" is a luxurious and meaningful take on the classic Air Max 97, celebrating the legendary Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo and his journey from humble beginnings to global superstardom. Released in 2017, this special edition sneaker tells the story of Ronaldo’s resilience and dedication.

The shoe features a metallic gold leather and mesh upper, a nod to the original Air Max 97 "Gold", but with a unique twist—stitched patch-like detailing on the mudguard. This detail represents the way Ronaldo’s mother would patch up his worn-out shoes when he was a child, ensuring he could continue playing football despite financial hardships.

Additional standout elements include a red mini Swoosh on the side panel and tongue, a tribute to Portugal’s national team colors. The shoe sits atop a full-length Air Max unit, delivering the signature cushioning and comfort that the Air Max 97 is known for. A white midsole and black outsole complete the sleek yet powerful design.

With its golden aesthetic, deep personal storytelling, and Cristiano Ronaldo’s influence, the Nike Air Max 97 "CR7 Metallic Gold" remains a coveted release for both sneaker collectors and football fans alike.
