2006 Argentina adidas Reissue Home Vintage Shirt Messi #19

The Story: The World Cup Genesis

Every legendary quest has a beginning. The 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany marked the moment an 18-year-old Lionel Messi stepped onto the grandest stage of them all for the very first time. Wearing this iconic home shirt and the number 19, a young Messi came off the bench against Serbia and Montenegro to assist a goal and score his first-ever World Cup strike within minutes. This official adidas reissue perfectly revives the armor worn during that monumental tournament. It represents the exact starting line of a grueling, beautiful 16-year journey that would ultimately culminate in ultimate glory in 2022.
