Two Boots To Honor Ronaldo's 500+ Goals

While the Messi vs. Ronaldo debate rages on, there is no doubt in anyone's mind that Cristiano Ronaldo was born to score goals. To solidify his legacy as one of the all-time greats, he's managed to set himself apart in the beginning of the 2015/16 season. In September, Ronaldo scored his 80th Champions League goal, and became the all-time goalscorer for the league over Lionel Messi. On September 30th, Ronaldo scored another two goals and reached the milestone of 500 career goals for both club and country. He also became Real Madrid's all-time scorer surpassing Raul with 324 goals.

To celebrate these two incredible milestones, Nike has created two commemorative Mercurial Superflys inspired by Ronaldo's favorite Vapor 3 colorways. The CR7 324k Gold boot will be available in January 2016, and the CR7 Quinhentos will be available in March 2016. Both boots are going to be exclusively launched through the Nike Soccer App.

10/10 Limited Edition Messi Boot

Talk about "limited." For one day only, October 10th to be exact, 89 of 100 pairs of Messi's Limited Edition boots will be available for purchase. To even further limit the release, the 89 pairs will only be available at the adidas store in Barcelona and only in Messi's size: 8.5. Of the remaining pairs, one will go to Messi and the last 10 will be given to the 10 players recently named to Team Messi.

This is the first release of a new collection of Limited Edition Messi boots. Symbolic of the greatest player to ever wear the number 10, all collector's edition Messi boots will be released on 10/10 of every year. Good luck to anyone trying to get their hands on these!

Man on Fire: Custom Hypervenom II for Lewandowski

In September, the Bayern Munich striker scored 5 goals in nine minutes against Wolfsburg, setting a European record and sealing a win for the reigning Bundesliga champions. To celebrate Lewandowski's incredible start to the season, Nike has created a custom Hypervenom Phantom II for the Polish International.
