Kith, adidas and Messi Drop a Sneaker Collection

Kith’s got a new grail-status collection on the horizon, and it’s delivering significant sporty-chic flair. Kith has joined forces with iconic soccer player Lionel Messi and adidas Soccer to launch an exclusive six-silhouette sneaker series. Honoring Messi’s 20-year tenure in the sport and Kith’s 15th jubilee, this release couldn’t be more timely for the impending summer of soccer.

From a performance standpoint, the series introduces revamped classics such as the snakeskin-embossed COPA Mundial 17 UltraBOOST and the World Cup-inspired F50 Walkable Cleat, but it’s the lifestyle models that captivate us. The evergreen Handball Spezial debuts in two color schemes: a Miami-inspired pink and a fresh white featuring premium suede detailing and iconic gum soles.

The white edition features asymmetrical blue and yellow Three Stripes for that ideal splash of color and a rich red heel tab. There’s also a pared-down Deconstructed Superstar composed of sumptuous leather and an F50 Megaride in Argentina’s illustrious sky blue and white color scheme.

For the aficionados out there, every pair comes with a commemorative trading card, with select few obtaining autographed versions from the GOAT himself.

The Kith x adidas x Messi lineup is available for purchase now on Kith’s website and at certain retailers.

Elsewhere, innovative British designer Martine Rose has introduced new versions of the classic Nike Shox MR4.
