Cristiano Ronaldo Spotted Listening to What Appears to Be an iPod Shuffle and We Have Questions

Cristiano Ronaldo is among the most fashionable athletes in professional sports. His outfits are often the topic of discussions ahead of matches, and his latest stylistic choice had a few fans talking, but more about one of the accessories he was using.

Being the trendsetter that he is, it appears as though Ronaldo is attempting to bring back a very retro accessory for the new decade. He was pictured listening to what appears to be an iPod shuffle as he greeted fans before a game.

With streaming apps on all of our smart phones and Air Pods representing the latest wave in headphone technology, the image of Ronaldo wearing wired ear buds connected to a small non-touchscreen MP3 player brings back real 2005 vibes. Perhaps CR7 decided to rock this ancient piece of technology simply to remind us that he has been dominating the sport of soccer since this device was invented.

For any fans of the iPod shuffle, you can thank the best goal-scoring forward in soccer for any future relaunches of the product.

If you see more folks using the out-of-date iPod, you can assume this photo is likely the reason why.
