FC Barcelona star Lionel Messi probably has hundreds of pairs of boots by now, but he was recently sent a special pair that was painted on by Paraguayan artist Lili Cantero. Have you seen them?
The adidas boot features different portraits of the Argentine and his family, along with the colours of the Blaugrana and his national team.

Cantero revealed why she decided to paint these boots for Messi, and also touched on what inspired her colourful masterpieces.
"I chose Messi because he's one of the greatest players in history, but also because of his own history – his childhood, which demanded so many sacrifices. That's what I wanted to express," she said.
"In Paraguay, I had to paint for players like Roque Santa Cruz, Christian Riveros, Pablo Zeballos, Derlis Gonzalez, Walter Gonzalez and William Mendieta, among others.
"There came a time when I made the decision to try and send custom boots so they could get to know about my work."
