Messi's superlative performance at the 2022 World Cup helped him win the 8th Ballon d'Or of his career and further underlined his greatness. Almost immediately after, Adidas revealed special soccer cleats to honor his 8th Ballon d'Or.
Adidas X Crazyfast Messi Ballon d'Or - White/Gold
This photo shows the new Adidas X Crazyfast Messi Ballon d'Or soccer boots in 'White/Gold'.
Like previous Ballon d'Or boots, the new X Crazyfast Messi Ballon d'Or football boots from Adidas feature gold as the scheme. In 2023, they are predominantly white, with a pale gold used as the second color.
The most notable feature of the the new Adidas X Crazyfast.1 Messi Ballon d'Or soccer cleats is the Burrito Tongue - a unique tongue design that is only available on the Messi boot. It was a surprise when Adidas first launched the Adidas X boot with the Burrito Tongue.
The Burrito Tongue is a special design that Adidas made just for Messi's feet. We are so familiar with Messi's shoes, but Adidas has never released them. Therefore, Adidas will only release ONE PAIR OF SHOES by draw for the luckiest person.
This is the first time Adidas has released the Adidas X 'Burrito Tongue' shoes.
Other motifs on the the new X Crazyfast.1 Messi Ballon d'Or boots from Adidas include the number 10 and the Argentinian flag, the names of Messi's two children: Thiago & Mateo. It seems that there will be 4 ball motifs on each side of the shoe to symbolize the 8 Ballon d'Or titles that Messi has won. The upper of the shoe also has the shape of a goat's head.
In addition to football boots, Adidas also presented Messi with a special collection of 8 rings, symbolizing Messi's 8 Ballon d'Or titles.

South Africa Debut Silver Adidas Climacool Cooling Jacket At 2026 World Cup
South Africa debuted the new Adidas Climacool cooling jacket in a striking silver colorway at the 2026 World Cup. The look evoked memories of spacesuits.
The Adidas Climacool system is engineered specifically to lower core body temperature and improve heat tolerance in hot and humid conditions - exactly the kind of environment teams face at a summer World Cup in the USA and Mexico. The system consists of three components: a cooling vest, jacket and overshoe, with the vest worn over the player's jersey containing a specialised gel that is frozen before use and slowly thaws to keep players cool as they prepare to take the pitch.
FIFA Orders Egypt to Remove 7 Stars From 2026 World Cup Kit And Change Numbers Color
FIFA has instructed the Egyptian Football Association to remove the seven stars from their 2026 World Cup kit. The stars, which represent Egypt's record seven Africa Cup of Nations victories, violate FIFA's strict equipment regulations for the tournament. Under these rules, stars displayed on national team jerseys at the World Cup are exclusively reserved for nations that have won the FIFA World Cup.
In addition to the removal of the stars, FIFA has directed Egypt to change the color of the player names and numbers on their shirts. The original design featured gold lettering, which FIFA deemed insufficient for broadcast visibility, requiring the team to switch to white text instead.
Brazil Did Not Leave Enough Space for FIFA 2026 World Cup 'Debut' Patch
The 2026 FIFA World Cup has introduced a highly detailed new system of sleeve badges, including a special "DEBUT" patch for players making their very first appearance in the tournament. However, on-pitch visuals of Brazil have revealed a glaring spatial issue: the Brazilian kit men did not leave enough space for it.
As seen on players like Danilo during their opening fixtures, the "DEBUT" patch has to be crammed awkwardly against the bottom stitching - the World Cup badge has been placed too low.
Brazil's kit managers apparently ignored the official application guidelines provided by badge manufacturer Avery Dennison. According to the leaked application manual, kits must have 55mm free under the regular badge for the debut patch - 20mm for the debut badge, plus spacing of 15mm (top) and 20 mm (bottom).
