Since arriving in South Florida last summer, Lionel Messi has generated unprecedented levels of interest in soccer among American fans. Among all of the competing interests looking to capitalize on the moment, no brand has done a better job than adidas.

The German sportswear brand welcomed Messi to Miami with a full-scale marketing campaign that even included cargo ships. Even better, adidas has done a commendable job of getting Messi apparel and sneakers to his fans all over the world.

We have seen adidas release multiple Messi-inspired sneakers over the past year, but this might be the brand's best work yet. Below is a detailed look at Messi's new Argentina-inspired adidas Sambas.

The Lionel Messi x adidas Samba was officially released on Tuesday, February 20, 2024. Online shoppers can purchase the sneakers for $100 in adult sizes on the adidas website while supplies last.

Adidas is encouraging fans to celebrate a "soccer genius" with a new iteration of one of the brand's most iconic sneakers. The white and blue colorway is inspired by the world champion Argentina National Team. 

Gold details pay tribute to that memorable win in Qatar, and Messi's name and logo celebrate the team's legendary number 10. Underneath, a gum rubber outsole grips the ground to keep up with your every move. 

These affordably-priced sneakers will not last long, so fans should act fast. Follow FanNationKicks.com for all your footwear news from the sports world.
