Kith has officially entered its next grail era, teaming up with Lionel Messi and adidas Football for a six-silhouette sneaker capsule that celebrates both Messi’s 20-year football legacy and Kith’s 15th anniversary.
And yes, this one is built for the World Cup conversation.
The collection blends performance heritage with lifestyle luxury, reworking some of adidas Football’s most iconic silhouettes into something that feels equal parts pitch-ready and street-approved. Think history, but make it wearable.
On the performance side, the COPA Mundial 17 UltraBOOST returns with a snakeskin-embossed finish, while the F50 Walkable Cleat gets a World Cup-inspired redesign that leans fully into Messi’s competitive DNA.
But it’s the lifestyle pairs that are stealing the spotlight.
The Handball Spezial arrives in two standout colorways, a soft Inter Miami-inspired pink that feels instantly summer-coded, and a clean white version elevated with suede overlays and gum soles. The white pair comes with asymmetrical blue and yellow Three Stripes detailing, finished with a deep red heel tab that quietly nods to Messi’s global legacy without overdoing it.
Elsewhere, a Deconstructed Superstar arrives in luxe leather for a stripped-back, high-fashion take on a classic, while the F50 Megaride lands in Argentina’s signature albiceleste palette, a direct tribute to Messi’s national identity.
And because Kith knows exactly what collectors want, every pair comes with a commemorative trading card. A select few even include autographed versions from Messi himself, instantly pushing this drop into grail territory.
The Kith x adidas x Messi collection is available to purchase now on the Kith website and select retailers.
