MESSI BOOTS HISTORY
At the age of 14, Lionel Messi signed a deal with Nike, a prominent American sportswear corporation that saw the young Argentinian’s potential. During the 2004-2005 season, Lionel Messi made his team debut against Espanyol, wearing the Nike Air Zoom T90 III Football Boots. Lionel Messi alternated between the three Nike silos available in 2005: Nike Air Legend, Nike Mercurial, and Nike T90 during this time.
Adidas offered a five-year contract worth £400,000 per year to supply Lionel Messi Football Boots after he illustrated his class in his first matches. Lionel Messi signed a deal with the three stripes brand, which could outbid Nike, in February 2006. Messi joined the business and began wearing the Adidas F50 boot series, which he continues to wear today.
Adidas +f50.6 tunit, Adidas +f50.7, Adidas +f50.8, Adidas +f50.9, and Adidas +f50i are the Lionel Messi Football Shoes in order of appearance.
The blue +f50i 2009 Champions League final boot is perhaps the most popular
Adidas Adizero Lionel Messi Football Boot. He scored a spectacular header goal, then missed his right shoe and flaunted it while celebrating his goal.

The current ‘Team Royal Blue / Silver Metallic / Solar Yellow’ Adidas Nemeziz Messi 19.1 soccer boots are identical to all previous colorways in terms of technology.
