Lionel Messi has long been a beacon for high-profile collaborations in sportswear. His partnership with adidas has consistently captivated fans, merging athletic prowess with fashion-forward designs. At the same time, it has been a while since Messi graced the sneaker scene with an off-the-pitch adidas collaboration. That will change as 2024 promises to reignite this excitement with the release of his very own adidas Samba. This collaboration pays homage to Messi's Argentine roots and is set to be a standout addition to the adidas and Messi legacy.
Elegantly encapsulating the spirit of Argentina in its color scheme and design, this Samba is crafted from premium white leather, providing a clean and sophisticated base. Complementing this is grey suede on the toe cap, adding a touch of texture and contrast. The design is further accentuated with blue accents, including the laces, Three Stripes, tongue, and sockliner, reflecting the colors of the Argentine flag.
Messi's influence is unmistakably present, with his name adorned in metallic gold on the lateral side and his logo debossed on the lateral heel. The same Messi logo is also prominently featured on the tongue, tying together the collaboration's branding elements. A gold heel tab adds a final touch of elegance, and the design is completed with a white midsole and outsole, ensuring both comfort and style.
Additionally, early images posted by brandon1an suggest that there may be multiple colorways in the Messi x adidas Samba collection, offering fans various options to choose from in 2024.
The Lionel Messi x adidas Samba will release February 2024 through adidas and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men's sizing, the retail price is set at $100.
