Lionel Messi: Leo Messi is the GOAT of football. Maybe someone might have a different opinion. But, after winning the World Cup, many would say that the debate is over. The win in Qatar has boosted his market value even more. Adidas is now banking on the same as they have released a new Lionel Messi shoe. Adidas just introduced the X Crazyfast Messi ‘Las Estrellas’ to Messi’s outstanding collection of trademark boots.

Lionel Messi new Adidas shoes
Shortly following the release of his ‘Infinito’ boots, Adidas have released new Lionel Messi shoes. The Infinito shoes have gone really wild online and every fan wants one for themself.
The new X Crazyfast Messi “Las Estrellas” (‘The Stars’) design incorporates the colours of the Argentinian flag. It also features three stars that recognise the nation’s hat-trick of World Cup victories (1978, 1986, and 2022).
It was inspired by Messi’s iconic 2022 World Cup boots, the “Leyenda,” and is known as the “Stars” model. Messi’s trademark, the G.O.A.T. sign-off, and the number 10 on the heel are further design elements.
‘Las Estrellas’ is the first official Messi signature boot that commemorates Argentina’s historic victory in Qatar. Adidas already honoured Messi’s World Cup victory with a one-of-a-kind bespoke ‘Leyenda’ boot. That included two stars and the G.O.A.T design on the toe box.
With prices on resale sites exceeding £1,000, the original “Leyenda” football boot continues to be one of the most expensive football boots ever produced. The new “Las Estrellas” edition is undoubtedly very popular among collectors, but adidas has not provided any official information on the number of pairs that have been distributed worldwide.
Messi has been playing for Inter Miami with the brand-new ‘Infinito’ boots, but he is anticipated to switch to the new ‘Las Estrellas’ models for Argentina’s forthcoming matches against Ecuador and Bolivia.
Messi to miss a couple of matches for Inter Miami
The boss of the Herons has revealed that the great playmaker will not take the field for the forthcoming three games in September.
Tata Martino said, ‘Lionel Messi is going to miss at least 3 games, he will get called up for his national team.’ The renowned playmaker will probably be called upon to represent his native Argentina in the World Cup qualifiers, which begin next month.

In September, the Albiceleste will play Bolivia and Ecuador before facing Paraguay and Peru in October. Then, in November, Argentina will square off against rivals Brazil and Uruguay; it is practically a given that Lionel Messi will play in these contests.
Inter Miami will be in a precarious position as a result, but Tata Martino has publicly advised his team that they must become “accustomed to winning” without relying on Lionel Messi all the time.
