While soccer fanatics all over love nothing more than debating who the greatest soccer player is between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, it is becoming increasingly obvious who the most popular footballer on the globe is.

 

Having sold 520,000 units of his new Juventus jersey in the first 24 hours after his transfer to the Italian soccer juggernaut became official, there is no one in the world’s most popular sport that moves the needle like CR7. In China for his annual tour, Ronaldo caught up with Complex in Beijing at the iconic Honor 23 retail space to discuss sneakers and potential projects for the future.

 

To start the episode off, Ronaldo and La Puma discuss the patchwork-inspired story behind his two Air Max 97 “CR7” models that harken back to his childhood and owning only two pairs of shoes. In 2003, Nike paid homage to Ronaldo’s new club, Juve, so naturally speculation regarding a remake of the heralded classic has begun.

 

With Ronaldo being the sport’s most affluent Nike endorser, the opportunity to create a sequel appears to be bearing fruit for the Swoosh. For all that and to see what Cristiano spent over ¥23,498 on, check the rest of the episode below.In the show “Sneaker Shopping” on Complex’s YouTube channel, superstar Cristiano Ronaldo spent up to 23,498 yen to buy 7 pairs of soft-soled shoes (sneakers).

 

On the occasion of Ronaldo’s visit to China to promote Nike’s brand, Complex’s Joe La Puma quickly conducted an interview with the Juventus star. It is known that the issues in this conversation revolved around the difficult childhood that CR7 experienced, his son, and the reason why he joined Juve. Besides, in this interview, Complex’s representative also invited Ronaldo to buy sneakers at Honor 23 store in Beijing.
