adidas Celebrates Lionel Messi with Special CODECHAOS Golf Shoe

  • Limited-edition golf shoe celebrates Lionel Messi as Argentina begins its 2026 FIFA World Cup title defense
  • Silhouette features ‘Messi’ logo throughout and combines an upper inspired by the F50 El Último Tango boot with the CODECHAOS outsole
  • The footwear is available in limited quantities beginning tomorrow, June 17 on adidas.com and the adidas app at 8 a.m. local time, as well as at select retailers

CARLSBAD, CA & HERZOGENAURACH, GERMANY – To celebrate adidas football legend Lionel Messi and the start of Argentina’s title defense at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, adidas is releasing CODECHAOS Messi, a limited-edition golf shoe in honor of the GOAT. This is the first-ever Messi-inspired golf shoe introduced by the brand and will be available beginning tomorrow, June 17, at 8 a.m. local time on adidas.com, and at select retailers while supplies last.

Where the pitch meets a pitching wedge, CODECHAOS Messi offers a unique design twist, combining elements of Messi’s ‘El Último Tango’ F50.6 TUNIT football boot and adidas’ CODECHAOS golf shoe. While inspired by the iconic boot, the microfiber leather upper will still incorporate golf-specific features, like a new AXISLOCK stabilizer in the heel and midfoot to give golfers stability and control when they are out on the course. The outsole is highlighted by the classic TWISTGRIP traction system, designed to give golfers maximum grip and additional stability throughout the swing. For energized comfort, the footwear will feature full-length BOOST cushioning.

Jeff Lienhart, General Manager Golf at adidas, said: “For the next month the world will be captivated by the FIFA World Cup stage. We want to celebrate this moment and Lionel provides us with a great opportunity to do so. We partnered with our team in football (soccer) to create something special for the course that combines the best of adidas Golf and adidas Football.”

Available on adidas.com, the adidas app and select retailers starting today, the CODECHAOS Messi will come in an Argentina-inspired ivory, gold and sky-blue colorway and feature the legendary ‘Messi’ logo on the tongue and sock liner. All pairs will also arrive in elevated packaging that includes the ‘Messi’ and CODECHAOS logos.
