Lionel Messi's New 'Mirosar10' Boots Celebrate His City of Birth, Rosario

Lionel Messi has spent most of the last week breaking records in a Barcelona shirt. 

Last Saturday, he broke the La Liga goalscoring record. A few days later, he became the Champions League's greatest marksman of all time. 

It's  good time to release some new boots, then! However, his new "mirosar10" cleats look beyond Barcelona and back to his roots in Argentina. 

Per Adidas' press release: 

"

The name mirosar10 translates from Spanish to 'my Rosario' with the number 10 given prominence in the naming, in the same way Leo has himself given prominence to this number for both club and country.

Uniquely designed and truly inspired by Leo's childhood, the boot reflects the roots of his legend. The orange of the boot signifies his first ever club, with the green representing their fiercest rivals, who Leo scored 4 goals against in his first significant 11-a-side game as a young child. The boot insoles are printed with a map of Rosario, Messi's home town in his beloved Argentina, which is highlighted throughout along with the Batallón pitch – an abandoned military base field that Leo used to sneak onto through a hole in the fence to play football with his friends when he was a small child.

"

So there you go. Messi is celebrating his past, and both he and Adidas will no doubt make lots and lots of money.

Rewriting the record book. The legend continues. It's time to reveal where it began. Tomorrow, meet #Messi #mirosar10 pic.twitter.com/Thrw2Slc1v
