You either love or hate Lionel Messi and his team, Inter Miami. They have been one of the most talked about teams in sports this year. The Florida-based MLS team couldn’t save the season and make the playoffs, but they are enjoying a successful 2023 with an Adidas Spezial release.

The newest style from “Adidas Originals” is definitely for Messi and team fans. It’s covered in the club’s main color, “True Pink.” From the tip of the toe to the bottom of the heel, the shoe is made of suede, and the color makes it look like a flamingo. The “Core Black” difference breaks up the profile 3-Stripes and Achilles’ Heel overlay, making the jersey even more reminiscent of Inter Miami’s often-sold-out version.

 In the mid-foot areas on the sides, there is no standard “Spezial” branding. Instead, there is “Libertad Para Soñar” text, which is a Spanish reference to the fans’ “Freedom to Dream.”

In other places, you can’t miss nods to Inter Miami. On the top of the tongue is stamped the heron logo of the MLS team. The two birds stand for another important club message: “We Must Go Together to Be Number One.” The sock liner has images that look like heartbeats to honor the fans, who are the team’s “pulse.” Underfoot, the single unit sticks to the rules and doesn’t make any obvious references to the South Florida group.
