A week into the new decade, Cristiano Ronaldo is already bringing back 2010s nostalgia.

The soccer superstar was spotted wearing a years-old iPod Shuffle as he greeted fans before a game in Turin, Italy on Monday, TMZ first reported.

Ronaldo's iPod appears to be a 4th Generation Shuffle, which Apple first rolled out in 2010. The device was discontinued in 2017, but Shuffles are far from rare - used iPod Shuffles typically sell for around R400 online. Ronaldo is one of the highest-paid athletes in the world with a net worth of over $450 million – more than R6.5 billion.

It's unclear whether Ronaldo's had the Shuffle clipped on to his tie as humorous fashion statement, or because he genuinely enjoys the random song selection of the mini music player, which does not allow users to select particular tracks and which has a max capacity of 4GB, or 1,000 songs.

While iPods were once a cash cow for Apple, the company has moved away from the devices now that most users store music on their phones - Apple has not rolled out a new line of iPods since the iPod Touch in 2015, which has only seen minor updates since then.

The internet reacted to Ronaldo's iPod with a mixture of bewilderment and admiration Monday.
