Lionel Messi was honored by Adidas as ‘GOAT’ (Greatest Of All Time) and paid tribute to the historic World Cup championship.

Lionel Messi was in Argentina to prepare for matches in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers this September. Coach Lionel Scaloni and his team will meet Ecuador and Bolivia in the first matches.

At the start of the Qualifiers, Lionel Messi will use shoes with an exclusive design inspired by the historic conquest of the Gold Cup in Qatar 2022.

Adidas Football recently released images of Messi with new shoes, in which you can see small details that attract a lot of attention.

The main colors are white and light blue, similar to the colors of the Argentine flag, with touches of yellow, related to the image of the sun in the flag and the World Cup.

On the heel, each shoe has three golden stars, paying tribute to Argentina’s historic World Cup title. In addition, each shoe has its own symbol. On the right shoe, above the stars is the number 10, the shirt number associated with his illustrious football career.

The right shoe has an image of a goat attached, referring to the acronym GOAT (Greatest Of All Time). That is the title often associated with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the modern football era.

Messi often wears Adidas shoes when playing for Argentina. This special edition and the shoes he used in Qatar are called “X Crazyfast “Las Estrellas””.

This new Messi shoe model is exclusively for this star. But on Adidas’ website, fans can find and buy the shoes he used and promote this brand.

Lionel Messi is having a happy time at Inter Miami and has 11 goals in 11 matches.
