Cristiano Ronaldo blows away spectators, competitors in Nike spot by W+K

Football sensation Cristiano Ronaldo creates havoc due to his speed wearing a new pair of Nike cleats in a TVC created by W+K Portland and Tokyo.

The spot featuring the Real Madrid and Portuguese national team star promotes the Mercurial Vapor IX football shoe. The destruction Ronaldo leaves in his wake spares no one, as opposing players, spectators, officials, and even riot police fall victim to the devastating wind as he passes in his ultra-lightweight footwear.
