Named 'Born Leader', the hyper jade boot is designed to complement Portugal's traditional colors with a captain's 'C' woven on the side.
'When you play for your country you want to win and defend your colours,' said Ronaldo upon the announcement of the newest member of his personalised range.
'When I play for Portugal, I feel good. Not just for myself but for my whole family and friends.
'To be captain of the Portugal national team makes me feel proud. Of course, it's great to be the leader of the team.
'I am one of the oldest players with more caps, more goals, more everything. I like to lead by example.'
