2019 October Legends Closing October 19
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/20/2019
Offered in this lot is a pair of Adidas cleats worn by the legendary Lionel Messi. Unquestionably the best soccer player in the world, the Barcelona and Argentina star is the all-time leading scorer in La Liga, with over 400 goals in the Spanish top flight. Messi is Argentina’s leading scorer as well, eclipsing Gabriel Batistuta’s record of 54. These cleats are orange and gray, with three white Adidas stripes located on both sides of either shoe. Messi has commemorated the birth of his son, Thiago, by applying “Thiago 02/11/12” on the heels of both shoes. An Argentina flag and Messi’s personal logo are located on the heels. These historic cleats come with a LOA from an employee of the Brazilian Football Confederation and a LOA from 100% Authentic, who note that these cleats match the style worn by Messi during two matches (UEFA Champions League Match February 24th at Manchester City & a Copa Del Ray match at Villareal on March 4th). On both occasions, Barcelona wore alternate kits.
