During Argentina’s South American World Cup qualifier against Colombia, Lionel Messi took the pitch in a boot choice that raised eyebrows. While he has multiple new pairs available, he opted for the adidas Nemeziz.1 in Metallic Gold/Scarlet/Core Black—part of the adidas “Showpiece Pack.” The boots are fresh to the market, but many expected to see Messi debut his signature adidas X50 Flow.1, which was released just days earlier.
Why the Choice Stood Out
Having two brand-new colorways to choose from at the same time is almost unheard of for a top player—especially when they come from completely different silos. The launch of the X50 Flow.1 was heavily tied to Messi’s “El Retorno” (return to speed) narrative, leading analysts and fans to predict an immediate switch.
What’s Next for Messi’s Boots
Seeing Messi in the Showpiece Nemeziz is not a complete surprise, and it gives the colorway valuable on-pitch visibility. However, reports now suggest the switch to the X50 Flow.1 will happen more slowly, with the first appearance expected when Copa América kicks off on June 16.
