The world of soccer changed completely when the world's biggest star in Lionel Messi decided to bring his talents to South Beach and play for David Beckham's Inter Miami CF. United States fans have gotten a chance to watch Messi first-hand playing on American soil and with his contract expiring in 2025, it could be the last chance to see him in the pink and black. Before then, however, Messi made sure to release his own pair of Adidas Samba sneakers, paying homage to his latest club and their colors.

Lionel Messi was recently named the season's MVP for his Inter Miami club and with 11 goals and nine assists on the season, he's been a treat to watch for the pink and black. The club, which is sponsored by Adidas, is best known for their vibrant uniforms and embodiment of what Miami represents. Previously releasing other shoes with the brand, the latest collaboration between Lionel Messi and Adidas features a two-shoe pack, perfect for anyone looking to represent the South Beach soccer club.

Originally crafted as an indoor soccer shoe, the Adidas Samba has gained massive popularity over the last few years with their simple, sleek design and never-ending collaborations and colorways. The Inter Miami CF x Adidas Samba will contain two shoes, a home and away version, featuring the team's primary colors.

One pair features the iconic Miami CF pink along an all-leather upper. The shoes are contrasted with black Adidas stripes, a black heel, and the standard gum bottom outsoles that we see on so many other Samba models. The black pair features a mix of leather and suede, contrasted in the same areas with the pink color. The pink pair will don Leo Messi's logo on both tongues, while the black pair features the Inter Miami crest in the same spots.

All in all, it's great to see Lionel Messi expanding his brand more into the lifestyle sneaker space and with a newly-recognizable brand like Inter Miami CF, the shoes serve as a perfect collaboration and homage to Messi bringing his talent to America.

The Inter Miami CF x Lionel Messi x Adidas Samba is now available on adidas and several exclusive adidas retailers. The shoes released just a few days ago, so there's still a chance to grab these at retail in limited sizing. We should see a small mark-up on these once they hit the resale market, so be sure to grab a pair if you haven't already. Be sure to check out KICKS CREW to find these after release on the global sneaker marketplace.
