Adidas drops a Lionel Messi kit to pay tribute to the iconic footballer

Wolrd Cup winner and all-time GOAT Lionel Messi can add another achievement to his already long list: his very own Adidas kit.

It’s been a hell of a year for Lionel Messi, in a good way that is. By winning the 2022 FIFA World Cup for Argentina, Messi has established himself as the GOAT and it doesn’t look like he’s about to slow down anytime soon. So, in order to celebrate his achievements, Adidas has launched a new collection pack dedicated to Lionel Messi titled ‘L10NEL M35SI’.

For the L10NEL M35SI pack, Adidas has taken inspiration from Messi’s signature boots which are a part of the Argentinian footballer’s unparalleled playing style. Adidas has released a collection of footwear and apparel as an ode to the Number 10 aka ‘El Diez’ player and his glorious career.

Known as the X Speedportal boot, the shoes boast a striking orange, black and light blue colourway, while the expressive and fluid design taps into Messi’s incredible history with Adidas, specifically the brand’s footwear.

These shoes have a soft, durable coated textile or synthetic upper that features at least 50 per cent recycled material. They also have a cushioned midsole that offers comfort. You’ll be able to channel your inner Messi and showcase sharp movements while wearing these shoes as they are built to enable optimal changes of direction, especially while you’re making sharp cuts.

As of today, the L10NEL M35SI Pack can be bought online and in select stores.
