CR7 eyewear: An exclusive line designed with Italian Independent

Why CR7? The story of a nickname

As almost everyone knows, Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most famous football players in the world. He began to play football when he was only 7 years old and his professional career started when he played for Sporting CP for the first time when he was 18 years old. Since then the Portuguese football player has become famous all over the world playing in Juventus team, Manchester, Real Madrid and Portugal. Ronaldo has won five Ballon D’Or awards, four Golden Shoes and he was the first player in history to win ten UEFA trophies. Furthermore Ronaldo holds the record for most goals, 136, in the Champions League. But which is the story behind his nickname? The nickname CR7 is a combination of Ronaldo’s initials, “C” and “R”, and his lucky number: seven. Ronaldo started to wear the number 7 shirt when he arrived at Manchester United and this number has followed him during his career. It comes with no surprise that Ronaldo named his brand after this nickname. Ronaldo has launched a fragrance called “CR7 Cristiano Ronaldo”, CR7 underwear and, of course, CR7 eyewear.

CR7 eyewear: “Playfectionism” is a way of life

The Portuguese football player, who, as we said, has already a line of perfume and underwear, in 2020 decided to team up with Lapo Elkann’s Italia Independent for a brand-new collection of eyewear. It was a small collection that consists of seven models (CR7, right?), and all of them were sunglasses.
