What childhood dreams are made of.

As a youngster Cristiano Ronaldo had only two pairs of shoes, one for play, and one for school. Cristiano kept his school shoes in good condition whilst his play shoes always ended up with holes due to the endless amount of time he spent playing football. His play shoes therefore would be patched up by his mother.

Times have long changed for CR7, but in celebration of the star, Nike are set to release a "patched up and dipped in gold" version of the Air Max 97. Nike have been dropping collaborations on the Air Max 97 for the past year, in celebration of the shoe's 20th year, and this CR7 version takes thing to the pitch and beyond.

The Nike Air Max 97 CR7 is available starting 23rd October on the SNKRS App, nike.com and at select retailers in Western Europe.
