Lionel Messi is considered one of the greatest footballers of all time thanks to the indelible mark his career has left on the world of sports. The native of Rosario, Argentina, showed his talent for the ball from a very young age, which led him to be part of renowned teams such as FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain. Currently, the player is part of Inter Miami in the Major League Soccer (MLS) in the United States, and his legacy goes beyond numbers; he is a symbol of dedication, art, and excellence in his field.
But Lionel Messi is not just football. For example, he has collaborated with Adidas for over a decade, and in 2024 they decided to launch a special edition of the Adidas Samba sneakers that would combine 'the flea's' personality with the classic design of the three-striped brand. The result? Let's take a look.

The first pair of these revamped Samba was the "White/Blue", which went from designs to shelves just this past March. Now another novelty joins this anticipated creation: The Messi x Adidas Samba "Black/Gold".
Designed to honor Messi's career accomplishments, these sneakers feature a premium black leather upper adorned with gold details on the heel and tongue, and Messi's signature logo, blending the iconic footballer's legacy with the classic style of Samba sneakers.
Regarding their functionality, the Samba x Messi stand out for their comfort and performance. They are equipped with a durable rubber sole that provides better traction and an OrthoLite insole for all-day cushioning, performing well on the field as well as in daily use.
Nevertheless, the special edition Lionel Messi x adidas Samba "Black/Gold" will be available on June 20 at Foot Locker, joining the legendary Samba family. Its price? For adult sizes, it will be USD $100 and for kids, they will be offered at just USD $75.
