Departing from their typical Pink/Black emblem and color scheme, Inter Miami CF will wear an all-new “Riptide Blue” ensemble as their third option for the upcoming season. The kits will be all blue, complete with pinstripes in soft white along the sleeves and accented by pink Adidas stripes along the shoulders and a striped collar.
The kit itself will come complete with Adidas' vintage logo alongside the Inter Miami CF crest, hovering over their typical Royal Caribbean logo on the center chest. The shorts and remainder of the lifestyle collection will follow a similar theme for a new all-blue look.
The collection will also come with the introduction of yet another Adidas Gazelle silhouette, which Messi has collaborated on in the past. This colorway will feature a stunning Riptide Blue suede along the uppers, contrasted by a pink gum outsole to match the kits. The Adidas stripes and logos will be done in white to complete the cohesive look.
The Adidas x Lionel Messi x Inter Miami CF collection is now available for purchase via Adidas and select Adidas retailers. The kit is available in adult sizing for $100, while the Adidas Gazelle is up for $110 on various platforms, including the official MLS Store.
