MESSI
BOOTS HISTORY
At the age of 14, Lionel
Messi signed a deal with Nike, a prominent American sportswear corporation that
saw the young Argentinian's potential. During the 2004-2005 season, Lionel
Messi made his team debut against Espanyol, wearing the Nike Air Zoom T90 III
Football Boots. Lionel Messi alternated between the three Nike silos available
in 2005: Nike Air Legend, Nike Mercurial, and Nike T90 during this time.
Adidas
offered a five-year contract worth £400,000 per year to supply Lionel Messi
Football Boots after he illustrated his class in his first matches. Lionel
Messi signed a deal with the three stripes brand, which could outbid Nike, in
February 2006. Messi joined the business and began wearing the Adidas F50 boot
series, which he continues to wear today.
Adidas
+f50.6 tunit, Adidas +f50.7, Adidas +f50.8, Adidas +f50.9, and Adidas +f50i are
the Lionel Messi Football Shoes in order of appearance.
The blue +f50i 2009 Champions League final boot is perhaps the most popular
Adidas
Adizero Lionel Messi Football Boot. He scored a spectacular header goal, then
missed his right shoe and flaunted it while celebrating his goal.

Adidas Nemeziz
Messi 19 Copa boots
The launch was initially
planned for June 2020, preparing for the 2020 Copa America, but was postponed
when the tournament was pushed to the following year. Messi wore the boots in
the second leg of the UEFA Champions League 2019-20 against Napoli and a
potential final tournament.
The current 'Team Royal Blue / Silver Metallic / Solar Yellow' Adidas Nemeziz Messi 19.1 soccer boots are identical to all previous colorways in terms of technology.
It's not the first time Adidas has launched Messi boots inspired by his hometown of Rosario, Argentina. In 2015, the German brand launched a Rosario-inspired boot.
