Yes, you read that correctly. Messi, arguably the best football (soccer) player on the planet is helping Jordan Brand become even more popular globally. Messi is still the face of adidas soccer, but his recent signing to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) means the Argentine icon is now wearing the Jumpman across his chest, on his shorts, and even on his socks.

And last week, when he scored his first goal for the new club, the Jumpman was front and center. And when PSG took to social media to share the historic moment, his adidas boots were conveniently cropped out in the Instagram post that linked directly to the store to buy the new kit. From sold-out kicks and gear to having stars like Neymar Jr., Kylian Mbappé, and now Messi rep the Jumpman on the pitch, Jordan Brand’s historic partnership with Paris couldn’t be going any better for them.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
