They may be called the Crazyfast Messi.1, but make no mistake, the Three Stripes actually gives the GOAT a completely different (cleverly disguised) football boot... You better believe the Argentinan has a hand in every single part of the design process as well, down to the size, shape, angle, and placement of elements. Considering it’s being marketed as his ‘signature shoe’, is it right for Adidas to disguise the fact that Messi is actually wearing something completely different?
Vid Captions: “I spotted Messi training in a bizarre looking pair of Adidas Speedportal Soccer Cleats… After comparing them with the retail version — the one that *you or I* can buy for $280 — it’s clear that Adidas is hiding something in plain sight... On top is pair of Messi’s match-worn X’s, they recently sold for $27-and-half thousand dollars… One of the biggest features of the $280 version ,, is it’s one-piece upper. Messi’s pair, for starters, has a burrito-style tongue, which completely changes the fit — it’s easier to spot from the top view — they are a LOT wider than the release model. The soleplates may look similar, but don’t worry, they’re not — the GOAT prefers rounded studs in the front and rear, with the remaining studs having been shaped, placed, and angled specifically at his request… They’re also built SOLID, with custom thicker insole boards reinforcing the cleat. Then, there’s the heel. Look how much THICKER, Messi’s pair is, one of many elements added to help protect his feet.”
