adidas has launched a special edition Argentina jersey to honor Lionel Messi's iconic career with the Argentina National Team. This commemorative jersey is designed to be worn during Messi's farewell international match on October 6, 2026.
The jersey's design draws inspiration from the Argentine flag, featuring the iconic Sun of May graphic spanning the front and back. The traditional sky-blue and white colors are enhanced with premium gold detailing, symbolizing Messi's achievements. Unique elements include Messi's signature logo replacing the adidas performance logo, a commemorative sign-off with the number 10 framed by laurel branches and the Sun of May, and gold accents on the federation crest, player numbers, and trim.
Developed to meet top-level football demands, the jersey incorporates adidas' CLIMACOOL+ technology with engineered stretch fabrics and 3D body mapping for ventilation and breathability. Perforated three-stripe panels and mesh zones further enhance airflow and comfort.
Beyond the match jersey, the collection includes pre-match apparel, culture wear, shorts, and socks, all featuring design elements inspired by the Sun of May and the Argentine flag. This range offers fans multiple ways to celebrate Messi's legacy both on and off the pitch.
The Argentina Messi Special Edition Collection became available on September 25, 2026, at adidas stores, selected retailers, and online at adidas.com.
