Footy Headlines can exclusively reveal the first information about Lionel Messi's signature boots for the 2026 World Cup. As the Argentine legend prepares for what will likely be his final bow on the world stage, Adidas has chosen a poetic and emotional name for the footwear: "El Último Tango" (The Last Tango).
Adidas F50 Messi 2026 World Cup 'El Último Tango' - White / Gold / Sky Blue
Unlike his boots for the last three major tournaments, which featured gold as the dominant color, this new pair will take a different approach.
The Adidas F50 Messi 2026 World Cup 'El Último Tango' boots will feature a predominantly White upper. The iconic Gold is still present but will serve as a luxurious accent color, used alongside Sky Blue detailing to pay homage to the Albiceleste.
This combination offers a fresh, clean look while maintaining the elegance befitting the defending world champion.
The color palette is somewhat reminiscent of the Adidas X Crazyfast Messi 'Las Estrellas', which was released in late 2023 to celebrate Argentina's triumph in Qatar.
