Messi Returns From Injury In Style With New 15.1 Boots

Lionel Messi returned to the pitch this past weekend in an exhilarating El Clasico, in which Barcelona netted four goals against La Liga rivals, Real Madrid. The world's best player also debuted new Messi 15.1 boots in a striking Black and Solar Red colorway. Most of the upper is black and fades into a Solar Red striped heel and messiFRAME, which symbolizes the heat and intensity that Messi brings to every game and training session. The Messi logo is displayed largely over the toe of the boots in green and red. The green is also highlighted over the messiGAMBETRAX stud configuration. The messiTOUCH upper texture has been improved for additional grip and premium feel on the ball.
