Messi once again leads Argentina this Copa America 2024 to hopefully add one more title to his international credentials. Up top, he’s dressed with the bespoke La Albiceleste of his national football team. At his feet though are the latest pair of Messi signatures that are more reflective of his class and achievements. adidas has dropped the Messi Triunfo Dorado so that everyone can see what his boots will be for the competition. Messi boot collectors should be on high alert right now.
Chalk this up to the inventory of Messi gold boots. This is one of those that specifically that has a more metallic impression than amber-like shading. We can definitely say that it does have some gloss and shine to them. It’s just fitting for him to have such golden shade, given that his now a proven winner not just in club football but also in international setting. The hope is that Triunfo Dorado ends up being a tournament-winning boot like the 2022 World Cup Leyenda.
Given that this is a Messi signature under the revived F50 line, there’s certainly some link to the past one way or the other. And that comes from the ribbed wide trim design flowing along the toe box. That simply screams that the 2015 F50 adiZero Prime has a lot of effect on the creation of the boot. The only thing is that the bespoke Prime graphic flows straightforward and not curved like the original design. Getting to choose adiZero Prime as the boot inspiration is intentional, as those were Messi’s boots when he won the treble while breaking the all-time goal record for La Liga.
Colourway-wise, Triunfo Dorado is mainly gold with black trims. Messi’s logo signs-off at the back of the heel to make sure no one misses who the boot for is. Interestingly, adidas has retailed the signature boot with the same exact specifications of Messi’s actual Triunfo. Everyone gets the chance to feel the Hybrid Touch upper that wraps around the GOAT’s feet. Moreover, the reigning World Cup and Copa America champion’s favoured knitted burrito-styled tongue has also been made available for this release.
