Lionel Messi Football Boots History

At the age of 14, Lionel Messi signed a contract with the US-giant Nike, who have realised the potential of the young Argentinian. Lionel Messi made his team debut during the 2004-2005 season against city rivals Espanyol, wearing the Nike Air Zoom T90 III Football Boots. In this period, Lionel Messi switched between the three Nike silos which Nike offered back in 2005: Nike Air Legend, Nike Mercurial and Nike T90

As Lionel Messi showed his class in his first matches, Adidas offered a five-years contract to supply the Lionel Messi Football Boots worth £400,000 annually. In February 2006, Lionel Messi signed the contract with the three stripes brand who could outbid Nike. Messi joined the brand and started to wear the Adidas F50 boot line, which he should keep until today.
