If you’ve been watching Lionel Messi taking sick free kicks of late, you will have noticed the extremely crisp Red/White boots he has on his feet. In a slightly unusual move, Messi has been wearing a modified pair of 16.1 and not the ones branded as his “signature boots”. His signature boots would be the Messi16 Pureagility, a boot created with a focus on speed and agility, to suit the unique playing style of the five time Ballon d’Or winner.
Because of personal preference, he hasn’t been wearing the Pureagility. That is his decision and there is sure to be a logical reason behind it. But that isn’t taking anything away from these, an absolute quality boot that mesh comfort with performance in a top tier package. And since a pair arrived in, we wanted to give you an up close look in case you are considering a pair.
