Lionel Messi has continued his partnership with adidas, leading to multiple footwear releases over the past six months. The duo has already launched several colorways of the classic Samba and paid homage to Messi's current team, Inter Miami, with special editions of the Gazelle and Samba. Now, they bring us the regal Lionel Messi x adidas Samba Black Gold, a sneaker that epitomizes elegance and timeless style.
The Lionel Messi x adidas Samba Black Gold features a sophisticated combination of smooth leather and suede on the upper. The T-toe overlay is constructed from rich black suede, providing a luxurious texture. This material is complemented by smooth black leather on the base layer and eyestays, creating a sleek, unified look. The highlight of this design is the gold accents, which bring a touch of luxury to the sneaker. The gold detailing is prominently featured on the Three Stripes logo along the midfoot and the heel tab, adding a striking contrast to the black upper.
Further gold touches include the Samba branding on the midfoot and Messi’s logo atop the tongue. Inside, the Three Stripes logo also receives a gold treatment, ensuring every angle of this sneaker exudes elegance. The classic gum rubber sole unit completes the design, which offers style and functionality.
The Lionel Messi x adidas Samba Black Gold will release in 2024 through adidas and select retailers online and in-store. Coming in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $100.
