The Lionel Messi x Adidas Samba Returns in Black and Gold

Lionel Messi is no stranger to gold.

From an unrivaled eight Ballon d'Or awards to World Cup glory, the Argentinian superstar is arguably the best to ever do it.

Now, he will link back up with another icon, the Adidas Samba, for yet another collaborative colorway for the summer season, his third of the year.

Following his pink pair inspired by Inter Miami, Leo swaps the vibrant team hues for simple black and gum gearing, this time decorated with metallic gold on the Three Stripe overlays, heels, and brand embellishments, including Messi-logo tongues, insoles, and lateral "Samba" lettering.

Dick's Sporting Goods and Adidas.com have confirmed their release of these Messi Sambas for June 20, 2024.

The pair will also be released alongside a matching Messi-branded Gazelle on the day.
