Kith & Messi for adidas Football

Kith and adidas Football present a collaborative collection with professional footballer and international phenomenon Lionel Messi, celebrating the 20th anniversary of his debut on the world stage, as well as Kith’s 15th anniversary.

The Kith & Messi for adidas Football collection celebrates Messi’s legacy and impact both on and off the pitch and is therefore comprised of both performance and lifestyle products. All silhouettes and styles were designed collaboratively by Ronnie Fieg and Lionel Messi, as the two met multiple times over the course of a year to hand-curate the assortment and tailor each item to the Argentinian icon’s exact specifications.

The on-pitch product includes jerseys inspired by pivotal moments in Messi’s career, reimagined with Kith, adidas Football, and Messi motifs. There are two 2006-inspired jerseys bearing Messi’s original number 19, as well as two jerseys featuring his now-iconic number 10. Additional styles include all-over printed long-sleeve goalkeeper jerseys and gloves, tracksuits, nylon warm-up pullovers, socks, a ball bag, and two sizes of co-branded footballs. The off-field range blends Kith’s meticulous attention to detail with adidas Football’s design language. Styles include a double-breasted suit, a short-sleeve crossover blazer with matching suit shorts, a washed denim jacket and matching shorts, a knit polo, wool tracksuits, a leather duffle bag, and more. Rounding out the collection are six footwear styles created for this collection, each paying homage to Messi’s iconic career through both performance and lifestyle lenses.

The campaign for this collection stars Lionel Messi in both still photography and a short film. In the still photography, Messi showcases the full range of the collection as he and Fieg intended it to be worn. The campaign film, titled The International Language of Messi, pays tribute to the global impact and recognition of the icon’s name. No matter where you’re from or what language you speak, there is one word that remains universally understood—Messi.

Kith & Messi for adidas Football releases globally on Friday, May 29th at all Kith stores, as well as at 11AM on Kith.com and the Kith App in the New York, London, Paris, and Tokyo time zones.
