Adidas Messi 15.1 Green FG
New with box
The Upper:
- A lightweight synthetic upper with a dimpled texture was used throughout, its similar to the Hypervenom Phantom design, but much smaller grooves
- The boots featured a Messi decal logo near the toe box
- The upper features a "cage" element towards the back, which is a rubber heel material, designed to help with a more locked down fit
The Sole Plate:
- The stud designs are very similar to the previous Adizero models, but with some slight changes
- The front and back studs feature a circular like cut, a spec that is commonly used on Messi's specs but was never used on retail models until now
- The sole plate features a series of diagonal plastic elements for the "spine" of the sole plate
Notes and Comments:
- The Messi model was short lived by Adidas
- Overall, the upper wasn't anything too revolutionary, and the cage system didn't add much to the boots
- The sole plate was closely designed to the same specs Messi actually uses, which was an upgrade from the F50 Adizero
