Lionel Messi's Adidas F50 match worn boots. This special made to measure boots were worn during the season 2009. Both boots are personalized with "Leo 10", "Messi 10" and a flag of Lionel's
homeland argentina. After David Beckham, Franz Beckenbauer and
Uwe Seeler, Lionel Messi is only the fourth player to receive a
personal adidas football boot. “I’m honored that adidas came up with
these boots. The design and colours reflect the love I feel for my
country and my team. The game in Rosario is crucial for us and I
hope these boots will help me score goals against Brazil!” said an
excited Lionel Messi. Martin Tibabuzo, football designer at adidas,
designed the boot with pride: “Designing an adidas boot for Messi is
really the highlight of my career. Integrating the national colours and
symbols like the sun was not work but a dream come true and I’m
very excited with the result.”
