It was October 28, 2024. Stress is at its height in the Châtelet theater, located in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. The elite of world football are present and hanging on the lips of Liberian legend George Weah, who is about to announce the winner… Rodri! The 28-year-old midfielder wins his first Ballon d'Or.
During the same evening, FC Barcelona player Aitana Bonmatí also received this award. adidas, which sponsors the player, unveiled a special pair. Since October 28, we have been waiting for the special pair of Nike shoes to celebrate Rodri.
Nike finally unveils a special pair
On crutches during the Ballon d'Or ceremony due to a serious knee injury, the Spanish midfielder will be kept away from the field for many weeks. This most likely explains Nike's delay in unveiling a special model for its champion. It was alongside young football players that the Citizen received its new pair.
A Nike Phantom Luna 2 Elite predominantly white and with gold details. A sober, efficient and elegant pair, reflecting Rodri's personality and playing style.
We can't wait to see the master of the game again on the European pitches, proudly displaying this new creation offered by Nike.
