Is this the new Cristiano Ronaldo 2013 Ballon d'Or Football Boot?
Nike is not allowed to design a special FIFA Ballon d'Or Cristiano Ronaldo Boot like Adidas had done for Lionel Messi in the past years. As Adidas is one of the official FIFA partners, they also have secured the exclusive rights to design a FIFA Ballon d'Or inspired boot.
Cristiano Ronaldo switched to the white reflective boot, which will not feature any FIFA Ballon d'Or related brandings. However, people will link the Mercurial Vapor as 2014 Nike Cristiano Ronaldo FIFA Ballon d'Or boot.
