Adidas Do not Manage to Reproduce & Ship Messi Kits in Less Than 3 Months
The Adidas Inter Miami kits featuring the iconic No. 10 of the Argentine superstar are available to purchase via the official MLS store and Adidas website. However, they are all pre-order items - they will not be available until October, as written on the official MLS store.

Why the delay? It's quite easy. When producing the Inter Miami kits in late 2022/early 2023, Adidas could not know that Messi would join the club half a year later. Now Adidas are reproducing Inter Miami kits to have the demand covered.
However, it is still odd to see that it takes Adidas up to 3 months to get the Inter Miami Messi kits produced and shipped. In the last few years, all brands have made statements on how important a fast design and production process is, but the reality showcases that Adidas are not yet there where they want to be.
The shipping date has already been improved and moved up from November to October.
