What’s cooler than being ice cold? adidas and Lionel Messi’s icy F50 Messi Freestyle soccer sneaker, of course.
When the GOAT of soccer sneakers and the GOAT of soccer as a whole link up — greatness is expected.
And the underrated F50 Messi Freestyle sneaker certainly delivers.
This low-top sneaker, first released earlier this year, now wears a white upper layered with blue suede and a translucent rubber toe guard that gives the sneaker a frosted appearance.
Messi’s name is also etched along the midsole and toe cap to offer some understated personalization — the perfect colorway to match with a Messi Argentina jersey.
Inter Miami fans need not fret, though. There is also a pink and silver colorway completed with black suede accents. Something for everyone!
Now, F50 shoe and Messi are quite the duo as is. The soccer star has several super-sick F50 cleats that are so saucy they deserve to be worn off the field.
Well, these F50 sneakers, available on the adidas website for $100, basically are just that.
And what makes this sneaker so interesting is that it stands just a bit taller than the more well-known flat shoes on the market.
As many can attest, adidas Samba shoes are the king of the flat shoe jungle. Messi even has a few adidas Samba sneaker collabs, including a team up with Bad Bunny.
But the F50 Messi Freestyle’s silhouette has a staunchly more futuristic build compared to the curve-toed Samba.
So, for all intents and purposes, this sneaker falls under the slim sneaker umbrella, but it has an icy edge that’s certainly pushing it forward.
