After Inter Miami set an all-time mark in regular season points and Messi led the MLS in goals, a first round exit for Leo’s squad probably isn’t what they had planned. Nonetheless, Messi’s stateside presence continues to be a major driver in interest for the US’ foremost soccer league, and the Three Stripes continues to parlay and leverage that success as part of their own partnership with La Pulga. Following a three-headed collab alongside Bad Bunny, it’s back to regularly scheduled program, and the Messi name is back to sole billing on the adidas Samba in “Cream White.”
While MLS clubs at large have taken to the lifestyle staple for multiple collaborative collections, there’s no denying that Messi’s enterprise has exploded this year, this pair helping his adidas catalog stretch over double digits in 2024. Previous link-ups have foregrounded his club’s colors, utilizing Argentine light blue, Inter’s bright pink or even gilded accents to allude to his legendary winning ways. Instead, this edition keeps things calm and collected, executing a tonal blend that wouldn’t be out of place on any mainline release. Messi’s crest appears debossed on the heel, while his name takes on the golden spell-out text just above the Three Stripes branding for a few extra nods to Leo for any lawsuit with their eyes on this pair.
No concrete release date has been attached to the Messi adidas Samba “Cream White” just yet, but more than likely, this pair will come about as we head into Spring 2025. Expect the typical $100 MSRP upon arrival.
