Cristiano Ronaldo Wears Nike mercurial "Freestyle" Boots - Charity Initiative of Nike and Oregon Health & Science University Doernbecher Children’s Hospital
His boots are part of the annual "Doernbecher Freestyle" project between Nike and Oregon Health & Science University Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.
The special Nike Mercurial CR7 boots have been not designed by a Nike designer but by a young patient from the hospital.
The Doernbecher Freestyle Project partners Nike designers and developers with OHSU Doernbecher patients who have battled serious illness to create a shoe that is unique to each patient. The kids, however, are the real designers for the Project — they decide the colors, materials and details for each shoe to reflect their individual stories and personalities.
It is not known yet if the Nike Cristiano Ronaldo 2022 Freestyle boots will be available for sale but we expect that limited editions will be available.
