Very Limited? Adidas Argentina 3-Star Kits to Be Launched December 28
Update December 28: The launch of the Adidas Argentina 3-Star jersey has been postponed to April 2023.
Update: Adidas apparently have been much faster than most expected with the (first batch) of Argentina 2022 World Cup 3-Star jerseys. The shirt has been added to the website and will be available "Wednesday, December 28th at 9:30 AM". We expect it to be sold out within minutes if not even seconds as surely not many have been produced and delivered (via air mail) yet.
There is no info on when other versions of the Adidas Argentina 3-Star kit become available, e.g. the authentic version.
Adidas' Messi pictures wearing the authentic kit are misleading
What is misleading is that Adidas also added pictures of Messi to the winning shirt kit. Messi is wearing the authentic version, and not the replica that Adidas sell.
Very Limited Quantities? Adidas Argentina 2022 Winners Shirt - Available Wednesday, December 28th at 9:30 AM
Update: The Argentina 3-Star football kit could be already available to get from Monday, December 26, 2022 in Argentina. This has been "confirmed by Adidas" to Argentinian journalist Mauro Albornoz (@Mau_Albornoz). However, there is probably at least one downside - it will be only available in Argentina on 26 December, and certainly in very limited quantities.
It is probably only available early in Argentina, while the rest of the world could have to wait until April 2023
There is no new info on the availability of the Adidas Argentina 3-Star jersey outside Argentina. As of now, early April 2023 is the most probable.
Update: A video taken inside the Adidas factory reveals that Adidas are already mass-adding the third star on the Argentina 2022 kit. This video could have been taken inside an Adidas factory in Argentina. Argentina's 2022 jerseys are both made in Argentina and Vietnam.

Adidas have not yet commented on the availability of the Argentina 3-Star Jersey. Until now, the most valuable info remains that they will be back in stock in early April 2023, but the first batches could be launched earlier.
Following Argentina winning a historic third World Cup title, Lionel Messi and Co. were quickly supplied with updated shirts featuring a third star.
As pointed out in our earlier article, the Adidas Argentina 2022 3-Star football shirt is not available to buy yet.
So far, it's only available to pre-order at US retailers Soccer.com / WorldSoccerShop. There, it's listed as a pre-order with an expected delivery date of early April, 2023.
Indeed, US soccer retailer Soccer.com/WorldSoccerShop offer the shirt but with delivery in April 2023, and also only the replica version.
"NOTE: These jerseys are on backorder, as they still need to be produced. They will not be avilable to ship until Spring 2023. Please note estimated shipping times here on the product page when you choose your size, and also during checkout. Thank you for your patience."
From what we can see, other notable retailers do not yet have the shirt listed for sale. It is possible that limited stock will be available elsewhere before April, of course. We will keep you updated in any case.
