Lionel Messi’s Adidas boots to the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the ‘X Speedportal Leyenda’ that cost over N250,000
The FIFA World Cup is one of few trophies Lionel Messi is yet to win in his illustrious career.
The 35-year-old has previously admitted time is running out for him to claim the silverware with Argentina as he would be hoping to do so at this year’s edition in Qatar.
The Albiceleste have found form at the right time and are regarded as one of the contenders for this year’s showpiece in Qatar, having narrowly missed out in the 2014 edition, losing to Germany in the finals in Brazil.
The PSG star will also be debuting new boots for the 2022 World Cup as has been customary since his debut in 2006.
While Messi did once wear Nike boots, he has only ever donned adidas boots on the senior World Cup stage and this year is certainly no different.
Messi World Cup boots – Adidas ‘X Speedportal Leyenda’
Messi will have a literal golden touch in Qatar thanks to his new boots from adidas.
The gold-coloured ‘X Speedportal Leyenda’ was released to mark Messi’s fifth World Cup and was inspired by elements of the shoes the Argentine icon wore on his tournament debut back in 2006.
