Incarnation of the most esteemed prize in the world of football revealed

It is the prize that has been won by the likes of Ronaldo, Gary Lineker and Miroslav Klose over the years and now the 2018 incarnation of the World Cup Golden Boot has been revealed.

Designed by Adidas, the latest Golden Boot was unveiled in a pop-up store in Moscow’s TsUM department store ahead of the tournament’s highly-anticipated kick-off.

Featuring the German sportswear giant’s signature three stripes across the front, the award appears to be based on the Adidas X 18+ boot.

There will be a number of the game’s leading players eyeing up the prize that is presented to the top scorer at each World Cup finals.

It was most recently won by Colombia’s James Rodriguez after he scored six goals in Brazil four years ago. Germany’s Thomas Muller claimed the prize in South Africa in 2010 after he burst onto the international scene with five goals.
