BEHIND THE BOOTS – DEEP DIVE
A deep collector-grade exploration of Lionel Messi’s match-worn and dual-signed Adidas F50 Adizero boots from the greatest goalscoring year in football history. Worn during the historic 2012/13 season in which Messi scored an unprecedented 91 goals across the 2012 calendar year, this museum-level pair also represents the very first boots he ever wore bearing the name of his son, Thiago, just one day after his birth.
A definitive collector’s study of two match-worn pairs of Zinedine Zidane’s Adidas Predator Pulse boots from the 2004/05 season. Featuring extensive match use for Real Madrid and France, elite MTM construction from Adidas Athlete Services, and one extraordinarily rare dual-signed pair, this long-form piece explores the craftsmanship, provenance and historical weight behind artefacts worn by one of football’s greatest ever players.
