Adidas have rewarded Lionel Messi for winning his 5th Ballon d’Or with a Special Edition pair of  platinum boots. 

The boots, which have been labelled the “Adidas Messi 15 Platinum Edition”, have been created especially for the 28-year-old Argentine after he collected his fifth Ballon d’Or title, beating Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar to the prize.

On the heel of the boot, Adidas have included four gold dots and a fifth platinum one representing each of his Ballon d’Or successes in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and of course, 2015.

Other details include stitching of Messi’s face alongside his name on the tongue of the boot on the left boot while on the right boot the Adidas logo is emblazoned underneath Messi’s name. It has also been made using Argentine leather and has been designed specifically for the Barcelona No.10.

Messi easily won the award at last nights ceremony, receiving 41.33% of the votes after an incredible year with Barcelona winning 5 trophies including the Champions League.

Barcelona’s next game is against Espanyol tomorrow and it will be the first opportunity for Messi to flaunt his new boots out on the pitch and he will be hoping they can bring him similar success and goals in 2016.
