Kith and adidas Football Pay the Ultimate Tribute With Lionel Messi Collaborative Collection

Summary

  • Kith and adidas Football have officially detailed their massive collaborative collection with Lionel Messi, celebrating the 20th anniversary of his world stage debut and Kith’s 15th anniversary
  • The expansive collection features both on-pitch performance gear and off-pitch lifestyle apparel, all co-designed by Ronnie Fieg and Messi over the course of a year
  • Six footwear styles are included, featuring lifestyle models like the Handball Spezial and Superstar, alongside performance-inspired silhouettes like the COPA Mundial 17 UltraBOOST and F50 Walkable Cleat

Ronnie Fieg just unveiled a much-awaited collaboration between Kith and adidas Football, featuring soccer superstar Lionel Messi. The collection celebrates both Messi’s 20th anniversary playing for his country and Kith’s 15th anniversary. Over the past year, Fieg and Messi worked closely together to create this unique line, which includes both high-performance athletic wear and stylish everyday clothing.

The new clothing collection is designed for both playing soccer and everyday wear. On the field, it features four special jerseys – two celebrating his original number 19 from 2006 and two with his famous number 10 – along with coordinating shorts, tracksuits, and goalkeeper outfits. For off-field style, Kith takes classic soccer looks and upgrades them with high-quality materials and tailoring, including a double-breasted suit, a short-sleeve blazer, a denim set, and wool tracksuits. Every item includes a unique KXVH monogram and special anniversary logos.

The collaboration includes a wide range of shoes – six different styles designed for both athletic performance and everyday wear. It brings back the COPA Mundial 17 UltraBOOST, originally released with Kith and adidas in 2017, and also features the F50 Megaride and an F50 Walkable Cleat modeled after Lionel Messi’s boots from the 2006 World Cup. For a more casual look, the collection offers two high-quality suede versions of the Handball Spezial and a unique, updated take on the iconic Superstar shoe.

To celebrate this special launch, Kith is giving away a limited-edition trading card with every jersey or shoe purchase. For serious collectors, a very rare, authentic Messi autographed card – graded by PSA – will be randomly included with orders from both in-store and online purchases, with fewer than 100 available.

Inter Miami CF fans got a sneak peek at the new collection, featuring a short film called The International Language of Messi, and were able to shop through the Kith App. Everyone else can buy the “Kith & Messi for adidas Football” collection starting Friday, May 29th, at Kith stores worldwide. Online, the collection will be available at 11:00 AM local time in New York, London, Paris, and Tokyo through Kith and the Kith App.
