SCRAPPED: Next-Gen Adidas X Ghosted+ 'Darkmotion' Black Pack Boots
Update: Adidas actually did already want to release them in July 2020 as part of the Darkmotion Pack, but they never came out. Now the boots shortly appeared in an online store - however, they shortly after disappeared again.
We are sure that they will be never released, just as two other next-gen Adidas X colorways scheduled for the second half of 2020.

The graphic serves as a retrospective of his milestones, spanning from his first World Cup appearance in 2006 to the team's historic triumph in the 2022 tournament.
Messi, along with Cristiano Ronaldo and Guillermo Ochoa, became the first three players in history to participate in six consecutive FIFA World Cups during their careers.
Accompanying the graphic is the message "Let's go for one more, LEGEND!", building anticipation for the 2026 World Cup where Argentina will compete as defending champions. The post has sparked nostalgia among fans, with many reminiscing about their favorite classic kits from Messi's international career, particularly the 2006 and 2014 editions.

Football kit retailer @subsidesports has offered a behind-the-scenes look into their printing operations ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

This service utilizes official typefaces and plotter sheets to apply names and numbers to replica shirts, ensuring an authentic look for supporters.
