Ronaldo To Wear Diamond- Encrusted Gold Boots In Next Match

For winning his third Ballon d’Or,
footwear giant Nike has created
their first ever micro-diamond
encrusted gold football boots for
Cristiano Ronaldo which he will
wear in his next match which is
today January 15th against Atletico
Madrid.  It’s a gift
The boot, (pictured right) dubbed
the Mercurial CR7 Rare Gold, is a
gift from Nike to Ronaldo as a
tribute ‘to his remorseless work
ethic’.

The company explains:

“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”
