Lionel Messi tore the competition apart in his fifth World Cup appearance in 2022, racking up seven goals and three assists on his way to winning the Golden Ball award for the top player in the tournament. Messi ranked in the top three in 11 statistical categories during the World Cup, including goals, assists, shots on target, dribbles completed, and passes into the box.

Widely considered one of the greatest footballers of all time, Messi’s exceptional performance during Argentina’s 2022 World Cup victory run will help cement his legacy among the sport’s greats. However, while Messi is best known for his abilities on the pitch, he has also morphed into a modern-day fashion icon, with fans worldwide taking inspiration from both his on-field and off-field fashion choices. 

If you want to dress like the best footballer in the world, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve broken down Messi’s most famous apparel choices, allowing you to emulate your favorite player on or off the pitch. 

On-Field Apparel: Boots

While Messi has worn a variety of cleats throughout his football career, he currently wears the Adidas Messi X Speedportal L10NEL M35SI model. The solar orange-colored boots were specifically constructed to Messi’s specifications and offer a speed-enhancing design.

The boot’s upper section features Adidas’ lightweight PRIMEKNIT technology, providing a stable and comfortable fit while keeping the weight low. Farther down, the boot features both a Stability Wing and carbon fiber soleplate technology, locking in the shoe’s skin-tight fit while helping you produce explosive power.

The bright and bold color scheme references Messi’s historic football career.  Throughout the boots, features of the many iterations of Messi’s signature boots span the entire pair, celebrating the historic career of football’s biggest star. Similarly, Messi’s logo is featured on the shoe’s heel and toe box.

On-Field Apparel: Jerseys

On the pitch, Lionel Messi sports a Paris Saint-Germain jersey during club games and an Argentina jersey during international play. He wears #30 for PSG and #10 for Argentina. 

Perhaps the most iconic Messi jersey is his home national team kit. The 2022 Messi home jersey features brilliant blue vertical stripes on a white background; the chest is adorned with Argentina’s emblem on the left side and Adidas’ logo on the right. On the back, Messi’s name and number are prominently displayed below an Argentinian sun logo. 

While the home jersey is his most famous, Argentina’s 2022 Messi away jersey is just as fashionable. The blue jersey features a flame-like accent design on the front and a minimalist, modern backside. 

Another emblematic Messi kit is his 2022/2023 PSG home jersey, featuring PSG’s trademark broad white and red vertical stripes on the front. PSG’s 2022 away jersey is just as attractive, with a modern black and pink color scheme on a white shirt.

Off-Field Apparel

While Messi is most famous for his on-field play and apparel, he is also known for his off-field and pregame clothing. Among the most notable pieces of pregame gear commonly worn by Messi are his Adidas Argentina Adilette TND Slides, which keep him comfortable and loose before the action starts.
