Lionel Messi's Adidas F50 match worn boots. This special made to measure boots
were worn during the season 2009. Both boots are personalized with "Leo 10",
"Messi 10" and a flag of Lionel's homeland argentina. After David Beckham, Franz
Beckenbauer and Uwe Seeler, Lionel Messi is only the fourth player to receive a
personal adidas football boot. “I’m honored that adidas came up with these
boots. The design and colours reflect the love I feel for my country and my team.
The game in Rosario is crucial for us and I hope these boots will help me score
goals against Brazil!” said an excited Lionel Messi. Martin Tibabuzo, football
designer at adidas, designed the boot with pride: “Designing an adidas boot for
Messi is really the highlight of my career. Integrating the national colours and
symbols like the sun was not work but a dream come true and I’m very excited with the result.”
