ORIGINAL ARTICLE 20/02/24: What happens when you mix a legendary baller, and the sneaker of the moment? A collaboration for the books – the Lionel Messi x adidas Samba.
If you’re an avid enthusiast of both football and sneakers, it might just be your lucky day. Presenting a sleek take on the Three-Stripes holy grail, the collaboration pays homage to the OG’s heritage, whilst honouring the players immense legacy. Often referred to as the G.O.A.T of his craft, we’re pretty sure that this joint offering will go down in the adidas hall of fame. Let’s take a look at the details.
Based with a supple ‘Cloud White’ leather foundation, the sophisticated iteration expresses a seamless box fresh steez. Located at the toe box, a light grey suede injects an element of dimension into the upper, creating the ideal space for colour to enter. Of course, you can’t collab with a football supreme without commending the come up, sporting hits of Argentinian purple within the emblem and heel tab. Underfoot, the traditional gum outsole keeps things grounded.
Looking towards the second palette, an electric blue hue floods the 3-Stripes, laces, tongue and inner lining, contrasting the white upper. Shiny gold detailing at the heel reminds us of just how special this offering is – reaffirmed via embossed ‘MESSI’ signage on the lateral and medial sidewalls. Differing from the first colourway, La Pulga’s signature logo imprints towards the back of the upper, for a collab-specific touch. Beneath the silhouette, a white translucent outer maintains the pristine persona of the exterior, allowing the colours to pop.
