Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo discards special Nike limited-edition boots during a World Cup match after the first half. According to reports, the boots cost about £242 and feature Ronaldo’s “CR7” branding. They were presented to him as a commemorative item recognizing his achievement of being the first player to score in six World Cup matches. The accounts say Ronaldo removes the boots at half-time while Portugal is involved in another World Cup match in which he does not score, sometimes described in the coverage as a blank. After Ronaldo bins the boots, the reports indicate he continues the match with different footwear, though the sources do not provide further detail on any follow-up with Nike or the circumstances beyond the half-time incident. The outlets frame the moment as part of a recurring theme around Ronaldo’s equipment choices during tournaments rather than as a disciplinary or official investigation.
