adidas Made MESSI 15 YEARS’ NEMEZIZ Cleats to Mark Messi's Debut

adidas created the 'MESSI 15 YEARS’ NEMEZIZ' cleats in honor of the 15th anniversary of Lionel Messi's debut. The cleats are an updated version of the NEMEZIZ 19+ pair, with small changes being made to commemorate the career of Lionel Messi. adidas will release the MESSI 15 YEARS’ NEMEZIZ cleats on its website and in stores on October 19th.

The cleats boast both blue and white colors, which were included as a reference to the player's Argentinian heritage, as well as the international career of the soccer star. Other features include a five-dot pattern on the left cleat, which references his five Ballon d’Ors. Additionally, an 'M' logo was placed on the right cleat, as well as '15 AÑOS.'
