Nike,
the Portuguese forward's sponsor, made the 'Mercurial CR7 Rare Gold'
boots as a tribute to Ronaldo's remarkable year, in which he won the
Champions League, Copa del Rey, European Super Cup, Club World Cup and
Ballon d'Or.
The boots, which are primarily gold in colour, have 'micro diamonds' encrusted onto the CR7 logo towards the heel.
The US sportswear
manufacturer revealed that the diamonds on the boots are the remnants of
larger stones that have already been cut.
After
winning the award, he said: 'It's been an unforgettable year. To win
this trophy, a trophy of this kind, is something unique and all I can
say is I want to continue working as I have so far, trying to go on to
more titles - individual and as a team - for my mother, my father who is
up there looking at there any my son.
'I
can see my mother, my family. I would like to thank all those who voted
for me. My coach, my fellow player, the president of my club.
'I
want to get better as the days go by. I want to say to all the
Portuguese that I never thought I could win this trophy on three
different occasions.
