Last summer, Lionel Messi arrived in the United States to play for Inter Miami CF. The soccer legend brought with him a new level of excitement and interest in the sport. Even better, Messi brought sneaker trends.

Two iconic soccer shoes dominated the past two summers: the adidas Samba and the adidas Gazelle. Adidas sponsors both Messi and MLS, so fans have been treated to several soccer-inspired colorways of the popular kicks.

Messi has collaborated with adidas on multiple Miami-inspired colorways. Additionally, there have been more neutral styles available for fans of all ages who want to wear their sneakers outside of the stadium.

The only problem has been availability. Luckily, Soccer.com has a wide selection of the adidas Samba and the adidas Gazelle. Online shoppers can choose from several colorways designed for Messi and other MLS clubs.

The adidas Samba features a full-grain leather upper, three-profile gum rubber outsole, brushed nylon lining, and full shell overlap construction. It also sports a non-folding mid-length synthetic tongue and a non-removable foam insole.
