The most expensive pairs of cleats in the world are going up for auction in London. Worn by English footballers, these three pairs of shoes are worth over $624,000 altogether.
The pair worn by John Terry, captain of the Chelsea Football Club and England’s national football team, is the most expensive of the three. The Umbro shoes feature a total of 2,374 jewels—including over 27 carats of white diamonds, over 10 carats of sapphires and eighty-four black diamonds set in white gold on the tips of the cleats’ studs. White gold shields bearing Terry’s No. 6 adorn the toes and the tongues feature the names of Terry’s children, Summer and Georgie, as well as the cross of St. George. This pair of shoes is valued at just under $220,000.
The other two pairs are Nikes worn by Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney—embellished with 2,576 gems and rose gold—and center back Rio Ferdinand—decorated with 2,494 gems, rose gold and artwork by film producer and former musician Goldie. Each is valued over $202,000.
The most expensive cleats are the brainchildren of former model and dancer Luisa Di Marco.

hate to get a scratch on them!
it is very nice
Do you know how many people that can be fed and clothed, and housed for the price of these shoes? That's ridiculous. That is what is wrong with our most rich individuals in the world today….they spend their money in ridiculous ways….instead of using it for the betterment of our society. Such a sad day after having read this….what a waste.
they have the money. it is their right. anyway when they spend money it gives employment. or are you a beggar who just want handout
thats write they think of taking out of medicare for our elders but they don't see these multi-millionaires who spend the money on a pair of nikes they will soon grow out of. like wat it up with people today
