Adidas Karim Benzema 2022 Ballon d'Or Tribute

To honor Karim Benzema's 2022 Ballon d'Or title, Adidas (and Real Madrid) did come up with three special things since yesterday evening.

Adidas Karim Benzema 2022 Ballon d'Or Bandage + Ad

First, the brand with the three stripes celebrated Benzema's Ballon d'Or by releasing visuals on social networks, highlighting the "iconic" bandage on the hand of the French player decorated in Gold for the occasion.

"In 2019, several injuries to the hand forced the footballer to start wearing a bandage during games, but this did not prevent him from continuing to shine until reaching the top. The bandage has become one of his trademarks and a symbol of his ability to overcome difficulties, proving once again that nothing is impossible (Impossible Is Nothing)," say Adidas in a statement.

The Adidas X Speedportal.1 2022 Ballon d'Or Benzema boots are white with the signature gold of the Ballon d'Or trophy. The spiral design of the boots is taken from the Real Madrid 21-22 home kit.

On the insole, there are the details of the championships that won Benzema with Real Madrid last season - the Spanish La Liga (right foot) and the Champions League (left foot). The toe of the shoelaces is painted in the colors of the French flag.

Unfortunately, the Adidas X Speedportal Benzema Ballon d'Or 2022 cleats are not available to buy.
