Adidas Messi Career Samba Shoes - Custom Hant-Painted Design

The custom Adidas Samba shoes are hand-painted. They feature a mash-up design that pays tribute to the different stages of Messi's career - they commemorate his time at Barcelona, PSG, Newell's Old Boys, Inter Miami, and the Argentinian national team.

The custom creps also showcase Messi's own logo and a patch of the 2022 world champion on the iconic Samba tongue.

Stepwise hand-delivered a pair of the custom Adidas Career Sambas to Messi, who looked happy to receive them.

The custom Adidas Messi Samba Career shoes are not available to buy. However, another Adidas Samba Messi shoe is on its way, launching on 20 February 2024.

Custom Nike Dunk Lows Messi Career

Back in December, Stepwise also created "What The Messi" Nike SB Dunk Low shoes. Of course, Messi was not pictured with them (and probably also never received them) as he is sponsored by Adidas.
