What boots will Lionel Messi wear at the Argentina vs Spain FIFA World Cup 2026 final?

Former Barcelona attacker Lionel Messi donned the adidas F50 for the FIFA World Cup 2026. The boots are known for being lightweight and fast. They are part of the same boot family as the F50 adizero, which debuted in 2010.

For Messi, Adidas never leaves an opportunity to make something that stands out. Thus, they decided to pay homage to the Argentine superstar’s first World Cup campaign. The boots are named El Ultimo Tango, which directly refers to the ones he wore during his debut campaign in the global tournament, the FIFA World Cup 2006.

The boots are significantly softer on the feet, thanks to a HybridTouch upper that allows wider feet to breathe properly and stay comfortable. Additionally, the custom-made boot is more accommodating for wide feet than the standard F50.

The Messi F50 is one of the few that is actually built differently. It is crafted from the same material used to create the Predator to provide a more comfortable, cushioned feel as the boot presses into the ground.
