What cleats does Messi wear? A quick recap of 2022 and 2023
Over the past years, Leo Messi mainly wore the Adidas X Speedportal “Leyenda” and the Adidas X Crazyfast Infinto Messi. Both equally vivacious models have been a fixture of Messi gear and been with him in some memorable moments of his professional career.
Adidas X Speedportal “Leyenda”
With the Adidas X Speedportal “Leyenda”, Lionel Messi achieved his long-awaited dream of winning the FIFA World Cup with Argentina in 2022, defeating France in what was arguably the most thrilling final match in the history of sports.
The golden X Speedportal “Leyenda” shoes have been released to celebrate Messi's fifth World Cup and draw inspiration from the footwear he wore during his tournament debut in 2006. Messi first wore these boots in Argentina's opening match of the 2022 World Cup against Saudi Arabia on November 22.

Adidas X Crazyfast Infinito Messi
The Adidas X Crazyfast Infinito Messi, out since July, takes its style from Lionel Scaloni’s Argentina squad that won the World Cup in Qatar in 2022, and you can definitely see the connection.
The shoes sport a cool mix of light blue, white, and metallic gray. Plus, near the heel, the name “Messi” is shown with the letter “e” designed to mimic the famous three stripes of the German brand. The sole of the shoe is also inspired by the flag of the country that won its third World Cup title, featuring a sky-blue color with white studs. He debuted these iconic boots in September 2023 when Argentina played Ecuador to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.

Messi's 2024 soccer boots
Let’s now pay attention to some particular boot variants Messi has worn through 2024. Two of them belong to the Adidas F50 line and the other two to the Crazyfast line.
Adidas F50 Fast Reborn
This 2024, Adidas launched the F50 Fast Reborn in tribute to the 20th anniversary of the launch of the F50 boots, which were a success from the beginning. Messi's “Adidas era” began with this model in 2006.
The Fast Reborn design pays tribute to the legacy of the F50 by reviving one of its most iconic editions: the 'Chameleon' pack, which gained fame thanks to Lionel Messi in the 2010 FIFA World Cup. This classic purple shade has been updated with a sleek, contemporary look.

Adidas F50 “Triunfo Dorado”
Messi won the 2024 Copa América with the Argentine national team, wearing the Adidas F50 “Triunfo Dorado”. “Triunfo Dorado” stands for “Golden Triumph” and the design honors Messi’s greatest achievements from the 2014/15 season.
They have the signature “burrito” tongue design and a woven material for comfort. The boots also have a hybrid touch upper, combining synthetic suede and laminated materials for stability and control.
Adidas X Crazyfast Solar Energy
Early in January 2024, Messi stepped onto the pitch with the Solar Energy Crazyfast for the MLS preseason. These boots turned heads with their eye-popping bright yellow and cool black stripes, really standing out on the field.
Adidas X Crazyfast Messi “Spark Gen10s”
The Adidas X Crazyfast Messi “Spark Gen10s” were launched on February 2024. It is Lionel Messi’s latest signature shoe, also inspired by the bright colors of the Argentine national team’s palette from that period.
This boot was also part of a special collection celebrating Messi’s World Cup victory, featuring simple, speed-focused design elements. The cool thing about these boots is that Messi debuted them in a match played by Inter Miami against his childhood club, Newell's Old Boys of Rosario.
