Inter Miami star Lionel Messi showed off his new adidas boots as he prepares to kick off the 2024 MLS season.
Athletic apparel and footwear giants adidas has launched a new collection of boots named ‘X Crazyfast Messi Spark Gen10s’ as a tribute to Messi and the Argentina side that lifted the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The design of the boot is a combination of blue, white and gold, which is a reference to La Albiceleste’s colours.
Ahead of the new 2024 MLS season, the 36-year-old showed off his new pair of boots and claimed they give him a “good vibe”.
In an Instagram post, Messi shared some images of himself wearing the new adidas boots with the caption: “Something that always gives me good vibes… kicking off the new season with my new boots. Let’s go @adidasfootball.”
The former Barcelona star was troubled with injuries throughout Inter Miami’s pre-season tour in Asia and there were doubts over his participation in their MLS season opener, but manager Gerardo Martino confirmed that the Argentine has fully recovered and is raring to go.
The Herons will aim to start the new season on a high as they kick off proceedings on Thursday against Real Salt Lake at DRV PNK Stadium in Miami.
