Garnacho Pays Homage to Cristiano Ronaldo with Retro Boots and Kit. In the fourth week of the Premier League, Alejandro Garnacho, a rising star player for Manchester United, donned the Nike Mercurial Vapour 13 “Future DNA” boots during the match against Arsenal. These boots were inspired by the first Nike Superfly boots that Ronaldo wore in his clаsh against Arsenal in the 2009 Champions League.

Garnacho’s choice of footwear and kit was a tribute to the great Cristiano Ronaldo, honoring the iconic moment in football history. The boots and shorts he wore featured the “CR7” branding, symbolizing Ronaldo’s legacy.

The term “Future DNA” refers to the fusion of past and present, paying homage to legendary players like Diego Maradona and the evolution of the Nike Mercurial Vapour range. Garnacho received his own pair of “Future DNA” boots, which he proudly sported along with a special CR7 Sporting Lisbon shirt on September 1st, ahead of the game against Arsenal on September 3rd.

Despite the age gap between Garnacho, a 19-year-old talent, and his idol Ronaldo, who is now 38, the young player has always looked up to Ronaldo since his time with Saudi Arabia. While they didn’t have the opportunity to play together extensively during their time at United, Garnacho’s admiration for Ronaldo remаins strong.

Garnacho has previously worn these boots, not only for the youth team of Manchester United but also on multiple occasions. In fact, he even has a customized version of the Vapour 13 that features a brown color scheme instead of the traditional red, aptly named “Future DNA.”

By wearing these retro boots and kit, Garnacho not only pays tribute to Ronaldo’s impact on the game but also showcases his own dedication and connection to football’s rich history.
