Messi

We have new images of the special-edition Adidas Lionel Messi Argentina kit, showing the design produced with authentic Climacool+ specifications. However, the jersey in the pictures is a counterfeit. Fakers have moved quickly to manufacture physical shirts that replicate Adidas' latest top-tier player-issue template based on earlier replica/fan leaks of the signature design. Following Messi's international retirement after the 2026 World Cup, it remains to be seen what Adidas will ultimately do with the official rollout of the special-edition Messi kit and accompanying collection, and if it will be available as authentic and worn in a match.

We can leak official images of the Adidas Argentina commemorative collection celebrating Lionel Messi ahead of his final international appearance for the Albiceleste. The centerpiece of the capsule is the bespoke home shirt, rounded out by a dark green goalkeeper edition and a radiant light blue pre-match shirt, crafted as a fitting tribute ahead of Messi's emotional farewell against Benin on October 6, 2026.

Adidas and the Argentine Football Association have teased a special-edition commemorative jersey celebrating Lionel Messi for his final appearance with the national team. Following the announcement of his retirement from international duty after a legendary career spanning 207 caps and 125 goals, Messi is set to wear the bespoke design in his farewell match against Benin at the Estadio Monumental on October 6, 2026.

The unique kit departs from the traditional striping format, opting for a sky-blue base accented by a single broad white central stripe. Tonal rays inspired by the Sun of May radiate across the front and back of the torso. In a rare personal touch, Messi's signature 'M' logo replaces the traditional Adidas performance logo on the right chest in metallic gold, balanced by the gold-accented three-star Argentina crest on the left. The crew-neck collar and sleeve cuffs are finished in black with sleek gold edging.

On the reverse, the shirt features gold 'MESSI 10' printing framed by the radiant sunburst motif, topped by a small Sun of May emblem just below the rear collar. Messi previewed the shirt on social media with the message "One last match... A jersey for a lifetime," offering a fitting tribute as he prepares to close his historic international chapter.

Bri Spence, sister of Djed Spence, has shared a photo of her brother receiving a special gift from Lionel Messi after the 2026 World Cup Semi-Final - an Argentina away shirt.

However, our Vietnamese partner @jerseystory_vn spotted that this was not a match-worn jersey, but actually a replica shirt instead.

It is highly likely that Messi and his staff prepared a batch of replica shirts specifically to give away as gifts to opponents and fans after each match.

Lionel Messi is sporting a highly exclusive detail on his Argentina kit at the 2026 World Cup. As highlighted by @jerseystory_vn, Messi's left sleeve features a unique dual-year Golden Ball badge, honoring his achievements as the Player of the Tournament at both the 2014 and 2022 World Cups. Messi is the only player in the tournament to wear a badge commemorating two Golden Ball awards, with Croatia's Luka Modric being the only other player to wear a Golden Ball patch for his 2018 award.

The special golden shield is located on the left sleeve of the Argentina shirt, but it is frequently hidden from view during matches as it sits beneath Messi's captain's armband. The badge adds to an already heavily decorated Argentina 2026 kit for the legendary number 10.

Alongside the dual-year Golden Ball patch, Messi's shirt is adorned with several other gold details. These include the central FIFA World Champions badge from their 2022 triumph, the golden 2026 World Cup sleeve patch, and the Legacy badge, which is awarded to players who have participated in five or more World Cup tournaments.

Adidas have celebrated Lionel Messi's stunning free-kick goal in Argentina's 3-1 victory over Jordan at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Following the match, the brand posted an image of Messi wearing Argentina's 2026 away shirt with the number 19, paying tribute to the 19 World Cup goals he has scored across six tournament appearances. At the same time, the image serves as a nostalgic nod to the young Messi, who made his World Cup debut wearing the No. 19 shirt exactly 20 years ago.

The post features the caption "19 on his back, 19 in the back of the net" alongside "full circle. el ultimo tango", referencing his return to the squad number he first wore for the national team. Messi came off the bench to score in the 80th minute, marking his sixth goal of the tournament and extending his lead in the Golden Boot race at 39 years old.

In Tunisia's 2026 World Cup group stage match against Japan at Estadio Monterrey, midfielder Mortadha Ben Ouanes caught the attention of boot spotters by wearing the classic Adidas Messi Mirosar10 boots.

Originally launched in late 2014, the Adidas Messi Mirosar10 boots were designed exclusively for the Argentine to celebrate his childhood in Rosario. The orange and green colorway pays tribute to Messi's first youth club, reflecting the local derby colors of his hometown. Ben Ouanes' decision to wear the 12-year-old signature boots provided a unique throwback moment on the game's biggest stage.
