To celebrate Cristiano Ronaldo winning the Ballon d’Or for the third time today (January 12, 2015) Nike have unveiled a new “CR7 Rare Gold” Mercurial boot for the Real Madrid striker.
Gold has been chosen as the colour of these new CR7 Mercurial boots because of the Portuguese forward winning the Ballon D’Or (Golden Ball in French). For the first time in their history, the CR7 logo on the cleats have had micro-diamonds applied to them by hand.
These new exclusive Gold Mercurial cleats will be worn by Ronaldo this week, meaning that we’ll probably see them in action against Atletico Madrid on Thursday night.
