Messi has been the face of Adidas since switching from Nike in 2006. The eight-time Ballon d\u2019Or winner holds a lifetime deal with the brand and features prominently in their advertisements and promotional campaigns.<\/p>\n
He wears the F50 boots, and both he and Adidas recently launched the new \u2018Triunfo Estelar\u2019 collection, which translates to \u2018Star Triumph.\u2019 The boots, primarily white with accents of purple, black, and fluorescent yellow, were unveiled on October 10, now celebrated as \u2018Messi Day.\u2019<\/p>\n
These cleats, which bear Messi\u2019s name, honor the Argentine legend\u2019s remarkable legacy and reference an iconic pair he wore in 2010. While Messi has already showcased them on the field with Inter Miami and Argentina, he has also allowed a select group of young talents to wear them.<\/p>\n
In a promotional video, Messi revealed the exclusive list of players who will don the boots, including Barcelona and Spain prodigy Lamine Yamal, who was photographed with Messi as a baby.<\/p>\n
Yamal, who wears Messi\u2019s former No. 19 at Barcelona, has recently been announced as a signature Adidas player. Messi also selected his fellow Argentine Claudio Echeverri, who signed with Manchester City in January but is currently on loan at River Plate.<\/p>\n
Additionally, two other Manchester City youngsters were included in the \u2018Messi+10\u2019 initiative: Joel Ndala and Cavan Sullivan. Ndala, an 18-year-old who was bought from Port Vale for \u00a3300,000 at just 10 years old, is now on loan at PSV Eindhoven. Meanwhile, 15-year-old Sullivan, the youngest player in MLS history, has a contract that ensures he will join City once he turns 18.
\nPlaying for Philadelphia Union in MLS, Sullivan was recently photographed with Messi on the pitch after a match.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Juventus\u2019 rising star Kenan Yildiz, RB Leipzig\u2019s Antonio Nusa and Assan Ouedraogo, and Monaco\u2019s Eliesse Ben Seghir received Messi\u2019s endorsement, along with female prospects Jaedyn Shaw and Vicky Lopez.<\/p>\n
