Lionel Messi has just turned 27. So, to celebrate, Adidas have made a special edition pair of football boots for the superstar to don on his special day.

His new footwear are a technicolor version of the adizeroTM f50 Messi boots, which the Argentinian wizard is currently wearing at the World Cup in Brazil.

Messi is set to wear them in training on Tuesday, ahead of his country's clash table-topping clash with Nigeria the following day.

There are to be 27 total pairs made in total - one for each year of his life - with two exclusive signed pairs to be given away on a competition @teammessi on his birthday.

Messi has so far scored twice at the World Cup, a superb effort against Bosnia & Herzegovina in their opening game at the Maracana, and a stunning last-gasp winner in their game against Iran.

Hopefully his new technicolor boots will help keep his dream alive in Brazil.
