Vogue had high praises for the iconic pink kit that is currently worn by the Argentina captain.

An excerpt from the article on Vogue read: “Immediately following the Messi announcement, the generic Inter Miami jersey, in an unexpected shade of un–Barbie pink, sold out, giving rise to a rich bootleg industry. Now, nearly five months later, the official Messi jersey, sporting his number 10, remains wait-listed in most sizes on the adidas website.”
