Set to be released in mid-September 2015, the Adidas X Primeknit 15 Boots are the first-ever knitted version of the all-new Adidas X 15.1 Boots, set to compete with the Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots. The Adidas X 15+ Primeknit Boots feature a super soft knitted upper with an external cage in the midfoot are for more stability.
The launch colorway of the Adidas X 15 Primeknit Boots boasts the striking main color Bold Orange, combined with black applications. In fact, the first paint job of the Adidas X 15+ Primeknit Football Boots features the same colors as the next Adidas X 15.1 Boot Colorway.

Adidas Argentina Messi Farewell Kit Teased
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.
