Lionel Messi designs own range of football boots

Barcelona star Lionel Messi has helped design and create his own range of football boots.

The Argentina international, who was crowned the Ballon d'Or winner for a fourth consecutive year, has a new line of Adidas adizero F50s boots in his name.

The 25-year-old had a major input into the footwear, which represents danger on the pitch and 'lightness' with the red and white design, while the boots as a whole mirror the striker's 'footballing philosophy', according to the Daily Mail.

The boots, which Messi is expected to debut in the spring, have a single red stud among 10 white studs, which represents Messi and his teammates, on the sole plate.
