Compare Adidas Messi 15 Boots - Adidas Messi 15.1 vs Messi 15.2 vs Messi 15.3 vs Messi 15.4
Jun 2, 2015, by Chris
Built to win. The new Adidas Messi 15.1 Soccer Cleats are the first-ever completely unique boots made for Leo Messi. Additionally to the cutting-edge Adidas Messi 15.1 Boots, Adidas released three cheaper versions of the exclusive Messi silo: Adidas Messi 15.2, Adidas Messi 15.3 and Adidas Messi 15.4.
Although Lionel Messi is known for wearing a custom version of his Adidas Boots featuring a leather upper, Adidas did not release a leather version of the new Adidas Messi 15 Cleats. We compare the four different versions of the new Adidas Messi 15 Soccer Boots.
Adidas Messi 15.1 vs Adidas Messi 15.2 Boots
Move the slider to compare the all-new Adidas Messi 15.1 and Adidas Messi 15.2.
The Adidas Messi 15.1 Boot (retail price 220 USD) is the high-end version of the new Adidas Messi Boots Collection. The Adidas Messi 15.1 Cleat features a super soft leather-like upper material with 3d grip in the forefoot area, and the trademark messiFRAME stability cage in the heel area.
The new skeleton outsole of the Adidas Messi 15.1 Football Boots (officially messiGAMBETRAX outsole) features triangular studs. To stand out on the pitch, the new outsole boasts the colors black, blue and yellow.
The Adidas Messi 15.2 Boot retails at 110 USD and is the second-best version of the new Adidas Messi Collection. The biggest differences between the Adidas Messi 15.1 and Messi 15.2 Boots is the upper. The synthetic upper of the Adidas Messi 15.2 Boots is stiffer, while the external cage is expected to offer less stability than the messiFRAME stability cage of the Adidas Messi 15.1. However, the new Adidas Messi 15.1 and 15.2 Cleats feature the same outsole, even though the design slightly differs.
Adidas Messi 15.3 Boot
This is the new Adidas Messi 15.3 Boot.
Interestingly, the new Adidas Messi 15.3 Soccer Boots (retail price 70 USD) feature the same sole plate as the cutting-edge Adidas Messi 15.1 Boots. Apart from the sole plate, the new Adidas Messi 15.3 Cleats lack the external stability cage, while the upper will be quite similar to the upper material of the Adidas Messi 15.2 Cleat.
Adidas Messi 15.4 Cleat
This is the new Adidas Messi 15.4 Football Boot.
The cheapest version of the new Adidas Messi Boots retails at 50 USD and have in fact nothing to do with the Adidas Messi 15.1 Boots, except to the design. The Adidas Messi 15.4 offers the standard Adidas FG sole plate, which is also used for the Adidas X 15.4 and Adidas Ace 15.4 Cleats.

Nottingham Forest Women Wear Training Tops vs Southampton to Avoid Color Blindness Clash
In an unusual kit occurrence, Nottingham Forest Women took to the pitch wearing training tops instead of their official 26-27 away kit during their match against Southampton Women at St Mary's Stadium on Sunday. The late switch was implemented specifically to avoid color blindness visibility issues that would have arisen from a red-versus-green clash. Huge thanks to @david_g_cooper for the spot.
With Southampton wearing their traditional red-and-white home kit, Nottingham Forest's primary alternative option - their green 26-27 away shirt - posed a serious dilemma. Red and green kit pairings are strictly discouraged by governing bodies and accessibility guidelines because they become indistinguishable to individuals with red-green color vision deficiency, which affects roughly 8% of men and 0.5% of women.
Since Nottingham Forest's home shirt is also red, the club resorted to dark training gear with match numbers applied on the back to provide adequate contrast for players, referees, and spectators.
Forest could have worn their light blue kit, but apparently they did not bring it.
Dominik Szoboszlai Reveals Nike Air Max 95 'Liverpool'
Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has officially debuted the upcoming Nike Air Max 95 'Liverpool', a special-edition release designed in partnership with JD Sports ahead of their annual 1.10 Day celebration. Deeply rooted in local street culture, where the model has long been nicknamed the '110' after its original UK retail price, the sneaker is packed with bespoke details paying tribute to Merseyside. The shoe features mismatched accents of dockland-inspired 'Rust Factor' orange alongside 'Steam' green referencing the city's Liver Birds, complemented by a reflective brick pattern, a River Mersey map printed across the insole, a custom 'Liverpool' tongue badge, and 'SCOUSE' lettering visible beneath the outsole.
