Kith’s got a new grail-status collection on the way, and it’s giving major sporty-chic energy.

As Hypebae reports, Kith – the global lifestyle and fashion brand founded by Ronnie Feig in 2011 – has teamed up with legendary footballer Lionel “Leo” Messi and adidas Football to debut an exclusive six-silhouette footwear collection. Celebrating Messi’s 20 year legacy in the game and Kith’s 15th anniversary, this drop couldn’t be more perfectly-timed for the upcoming summer of soccer.

On the performance side, the collection delivers reworked icons like the snakeskin-embossed COPA Mundial 17 UltraBOOST and the World Cup-inspired F50 Walkable Cleat, but it’s the lifestyle models that have us swooning. The timeless Handball Spezial arrives in two colorways: an Inter Miami-inspired pink and a clean white elevated with premium suede overlays and classic gum soles.

The white pair features asymmetrical blue and yellow Three Stripes for that perfect pop of color and a deep red heel tab. There’s also a minimalist Deconstructed Superstar made from luxe leather and an F50 Megaride in Argentina’s iconic albiceleste color palette.

For the collectors out there, every pair comes with a commemorative trading card, with a select few receiving autographed versions from the GOAT himself.

The Kith x adidas x Messi collection is available to purchase now on the Kith website and select retailers.
