The king of speed has a new set of wheels. On Tuesday, February 17, 2026, Adidas officially launched the F50 Messi "Aurora Radiante", the latest signature boot for Lionel Messi.
Moving away from the recent retro-themed remakes, this "Aurora Radiante" (Radiant Aurora) edition is a modern explosion of color, deeply inspired by the vibrant energy of Miami’s skyline and the neon glow of the Florida coast.
The Design: Miami Nights at Your Feet
The Palette: A striking base of Cloud White and Flash Aqua is contrasted by bold Lucid Pink and Halo Mint accents. It’s a colorway that screams South Beach.
The Details: The boot features the iconic "M" Messi logo on the heel and the medial side, with the Three Stripes rendered in a sleek, high-visibility pink that catches the light as you move.
