What's cooler than being ice cold? adidas and Lionel Messi's icy F50 Messi Freestyle soccer sneaker, of course.

When the GOAT of soccer sneakers and the GOAT of soccer as a whole link up — greatness is expected.

And the underrated F50 Messi Freestyle sneaker certainly delivers.

This low-top sneaker, first released earlier this year, now wears a white upper layered with blue suede and a translucent rubber toe guard that gives the sneaker a frosted appearance.

Messi's name is also etched along the midsole and toe cap to offer some understated personalization — the perfect colorway to match with a Messi Argentina jersey.

Inter Miami fans need not fret, though. There is also a pink and silver colorway completed with black suede accents. Something for everyone!

Now, F50 shoe and Messi are quite the duo as is. The soccer star has several super-sick F50 cleats that are so saucy they deserve to be worn off the field.

Well, these F50 sneakers, available on the adidas website for $100, basically are just that.

And what makes this sneaker so interesting is that it stands just a bit taller than the more well-known flat shoes on the market while still maintaining the low profile necessary to be a fashion flex, of sorts.

As many can attest, adidas' Samba shoes are currently the kings of the flat shoe jungle. Messi even has a few of his adidas Samba sneaker collabs, preceding a recent Gazelle team up with Bad Bunny.

But the F50 Messi Freestyle's silhouette has a staunchly more futuristic build compared to the curve-toed Samba.

So, for all intents and purposes, this sneaker falls under the slim sneaker umbrella, but it has an icy edge that's certainly pushing it forward.
