What would football be without the ball? Leo Messi's love for the most important element of football has inspired adidas to launch this new collection, in which the Argentine star once again takes centre stage.

Balón te adoro (I adore you, ball) is the name chosen by adidas for a collection that represents a person's devotion to an object, in this case a football. But don't think that this person is just anyone, because he is the human being with the most Ballon d'Or awards in history and the star of this special pack: Leo Messi.
The silo that serves as the canvas is, unsurprisingly, the adidas X Speedportal in its .1 version, with laces, which is the one used by the Argentine star. These have not undergone any technological changes, as the only thing that has changed is the decoration to turn normal boots into Leo Messi's new exclusive boots.
What immediately catches the eye are the words that appear across the midsole, all representing Leo Messi's relationship with the football. ‘Juntos, preferido o inseparables’ (Together, favourite or inseparable) are some of the many terms that appear in striking orange on the white background of Messi's new boots, a colour that is also found on the laces, as these boots will only be sold in the .1 version, and on the new external heel counter of the adidas speed silo called STABILITY WING.
On the inside of Leo Messi's new boots, we see how black takes centre stage, acting as a backdrop for orange, which continues to feature logos and words on the upper of these adidas X Speedportal football boots. That same black colour will have the honour of filling the three adidas stripes, an essential element on all football boots from the German brand.
This has been our review of Leo Messi's adidas football boots, an exclusive limited edition now available in stores and on the Fútbol Emotion website.
