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"
