Lionel Messi x adidas Samba “Black/Gold” Drops for Copa America
Make this another W in his career.
[Update 13 Jun 2024] The Lionel Messi x adidas Samba “Black/Gold” is now slated to release on 20 June, via Foot Locker, coinciding with Argentina’s Copa America title defense, which kicks off the following day. Stay tuned to SNKRDUNK Magazine for the latest updates!
Being a recipient of the prestigious Ballon d’Or for a record eight times and finally completing his trophy cabinet with the crème de la crème of major honors in football, the FIFA World Cup, Lionel Messi is no stranger to achievement. As such, gold, a color often associated with victory, is a fitting theme for his next collaboration.
German sportswear brand, adidas, has decided to team up with the Inter Miami player and deck out the iconic Samba in a “Black/Gold” colorway for their next collaboration.
The shoe features a smooth Black leather base with rich Black suede on the T-toe for a textured contrast. Metallic Gold takes center stage on the Three Stripes and heel tab, adding some serious shine.
Messi’s logo appears on the tongue, and even the Samba branding gets a golden accent. Rounding out the design is a classic Gum rubber sole.
The Lionel Messi x adidas Samba in “Black/Gold” is now available at adidas stores and select retailers, with an RRP of US$100.
