Ronaldo to debut the diamond-encrusted gold boots of NIKE in next match

 

Cristiano Ronaldo would wear the first of its kind boots from footwear giant Nike in his next match for winning his third Ballon d'Or. The first ever micro-diamond encrusted gold football boots would be worn by Ronaldo today January 15th in the match against Atletico Madrid. 

The boot, (pictured left) aka the Mercurial CR7 Rare Gold, is a gift from Nike to Ronaldo as a tribute 'to his remorseless work ethic'. According to NIKE:

"The micro-diamonds are remnants from larger stones that are painstakingly perfected by craftsmen. As the diamonds are refined & the details sharpened, tiny pieces are cut away, leaving micro-diamonds behind as evidence of work in progress. The commitment to keep chipping away at something already impressive reminded Nike’s design team of Ronaldo’s work ethic. While many see Ronaldo as the best in the world, he sees room for improvement"
