Lionel Messi Gifts Kenan Yildiz Special Adidas F50 Boots From Final Argentina Match
Juventus number 10 Kenan Yildiz has received an extraordinary gift directly from his idol Lionel Messi. During a visit to Adidas headquarters, the Turkish international was presented with an exclusive golden box containing the custom Adidas F50 boots worn by Messi in his final appearance for Argentina, accompanied by a handwritten, signed message from the legend himself.
The boots are a bespoke version of Messi's farewell 'El Último Tango' F50 edition, decorated in Argentina's signature albiceleste and white palette alongside shimmering gold accents. Unique detailing on the pair includes a metallic gold number 10 and a laurel wreath encircling the iconic Sol de Mayo emblem on the heel. Opening the package, an visibly emotional Yildiz admitted it was the most incredible gift he had ever received.
Yildiz has long had a direct tie to Messi's signature lineup, having been personally chosen by the Argentine icon as one of the elite prospects for the Adidas 'Messi +10' boot initiative. As the playmaker continues to lead Juventus' attack in the 26-27 season, receiving a genuine piece of football history serves as the ultimate passing of the torch.
