Superfly 1 Regen release date

Dubai: If you were a football fan in 2009, you will remember these. The bright orange Nike Mercurial Superfly 1 boots that Cristiano Ronaldo wore during one of the most electrifying periods of his career are officially coming back, and they have been rebuilt from the ground up for 2026.

Here is everything you need to know before they drop.

The Nike Mercurial Superfly 1 in the original Max Orange colourway first launched in 2009 and quickly became one of the most recognisable football boots ever made. They were bold, fast-looking and unmistakably Ronaldo. Over the years they became a collector's item, representing a golden era of football when CR7 was rewriting record books at Manchester United and Real Madrid.

The 2026 version, officially called the CR7 Mercurial Superfly 1 Regen, keeps the same iconic orange and silver look that made the originals so memorable but updates everything under the hood with modern technology. Think of it as the same personality with a completely new engine.

Nike has not just slapped a new colourway on an old design. The Regen comes with a serious performance upgrade:

Inside the boot, hidden from view, is a personal touch: the words "Made for Greatness" printed in both English and Portuguese.

Ronaldo has already been spotted training in them, which should tell you everything you need to know about how they perform.

The official release date is tomorrow, 7 April 2026. If you check the Nike UAE website today and cannot find them, that is normal. Nike typically updates their regional pages on the actual day of release, usually in the morning or around midday.

In terms of price, the global retail price is set at USD 300, which translates to an estimated DH1,299 to Dh1,399 in the UAE, in line with other Elite-level Mercurials currently on the market.

Although the website doesn't open to the cleats listing as they are not released yet, you can view the top-up details when you look them up.

These are a limited edition release, which means they are expected to sell out fast. Check the Nike UAE website or the Nike app first thing tomorrow morning to give yourself the best chance.

Yes. While the Regen does not officially drop until tomorrow, there are a few CR7-associated boots available in UAE stores right now:

If you want the real CR7 heritage experience, wait for tomorrow. The Superfly 1 Regen is the only boot in this lineup that is purely a Ronaldo tribute, built around his legacy and the era that defined him. The others are general release boots that he happens to wear.

If the Regen sells out before you get there, the Dream Speed 009 is your best high-performance backup.
