Lionel Messi is more than used to attracting attention wherever he goes, but recently the Inter Miami star and world champion with Argentina caught the eye for some particular sneakers that he wore during a press conference. They are Adidas commemorative shoes for the successful cartoon series The Simpsons, which Lionel Messi wore during the launch ceremony of the new Royal Caribbean cruise ship, Icon of the Seas. The images of Messi with the curious shoes quickly went viral.
The Argentine star’s shoes are part of a limited edition that the German brand launched in November 2023 as part of the Adidas Forum Low collection. It is inspired by the iconic living room of the Simpsons family house, which is painted in pink. In the details of the shoe worn by the Inter Miami captain you can see the pink, brown, blue and purple colors that represent the living room where Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie sit every night to watch television. The uneven box also appears on the tongue of the shoes.
The design of the Adidas sneakers is completed with the presence on the back of The Simpsons mascots: Snowball the cat and Santa’s Helper the dog, who make the shoes worn by the Argentine star who demonstrated his hobby even more striking for this cartoon series.
Since his arrival at Inter Miami in the middle of last year after a couple of seasons with Paris Saint-Germain, Lionel Messi has begun to wear much more in the pink color that represents the Major League Soccer team and that is part of of his uniform.
How much do Lionel Messi’s shoes cost?
According to several press reports, it was stated that the Adidas brand sneakers with a design inspired by the series The Simpsons cost $357 dollars, which will surely increase shortly taking into account that the Argentine star using them went viral. It is worth remembering that Adidas is one of the numerous official sponsors of the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner, so it is normal to see the Argentine star wearing clothing from the German brand off the pitch. Lionel Messi, 36 years old, is preparing for what will be his second season with Inter Miami in which he will seek to take his team to the top of the MLS as well as repeat the successes achieved last season by winning the Leagues Cup and reach the final of the US Open Cup.
