Cristiano Ronaldo donates his World Cup boots to IShowSpeed following Portugal’s exit from the FIFA World Cup/ Image: X Cristiano Ronaldo gifted streamer IShowSpeed with one of the most exclusive souvenirs from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, sending him the game-worn Nike Mercurial Superfly 11 “CR7 Gold Scorpion” boots that he wore during what is widely expected to be the final World Cup campaign of his international career.The emotional moment happened live during IShowSpeed’s coverage of Spain’s quarter-final victory over Belgium when the YouTube star opened a package from Ronaldo to discover golden boots inside. A visibly stunned Speed was told he now owns one of only two pairs of the limited edition shoes made by Nike.
A special gift after the early departure of Portugal
According to reports, Ronaldo originally intended to hand over the boots to IShowSpeed in person if Portugal progressed to the quarter-finals of the World Cup.However, those plans changed after Portugal’s tournament ended with a 1-0 defeat to Spain in the Round of 16, a match that also marked Ronaldo’s final appearance at the FIFA World Cup.Rather than abandon the idea, the Portugal captain reportedly arranged for the boots to be sent directly to one of his biggest supporters.The delivery came as Speed live-streamed Spain’s quarter-final against Belgium on Friday, creating one of the tournament’s most memorable off-pitch moments.Heartbroken after Portugal’s elimination earlier in the week, Speed responded with visible emotion as he carefully unwrapped the gift before showing the boots to his audience.
Why are shoes so important?
The shoes are not standard match shoes. It’s part of the limited edition Nike Mercurial Superfly 11 ‘CR7 Gold Scorpion’, a special release created to celebrate Ronaldo becoming the first male player to score in six different FIFA World Cup tournaments.Unlike commercially available versions, these were the actual boots worn by Ronaldo during Portugal’s 2026 World Cup campaign, making them authentic match-used souvenirs from one of football’s most decorated players.Their importance only increased after Portugal’s elimination, with the tournament now expected to be Ronaldo’s final World Cup appearance for the nation.According to those present during the unboxing, there are only two pairs of the “CR7 Gold Scorpion” boots, further adding to their rarity.
A suitable gift for one of Ronaldo’s biggest fans
IShowSpeed has built a reputation as one of Ronaldo’s most passionate public supporters, regularly celebrating the Portugal captain on his live streams and social media platforms.During the World Cup, Speed followed Portugal’s campaign closely and gave lively reactions to their matches, making little secret of the fact that Ronaldo could end his World Cup career with another deep run.That trip ended against Spain in the round of 16, preventing the expected quarter-final meeting with Belgium that many had expected.Instead, Spain advanced and beat Belgium 2-1 to reach the semi-finals, while Ronaldo’s tournament ended earlier than planned.Although Portugal’s campaign ended in disappointment, Ronaldo ensured a lasting memory by sending a personal piece of World Cup history to one of his most devoted fans. Instead of remaining in his own collection, the ‘CR7 Gold Scorpion’ boots have found a new home with a streamer whose admiration for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner has become a defining part of his online identity.
