As we previously reported, adidas Skateboarding rolls out its collaboration with Thrasher Magazine and the AFA World Cup collection.
Two GOATs, Lionel Messi and Mark Gonzales, come together in a way that feels rooted in shared respect rather than hype.
Messi, known worldwide for his football craft and calm presence on the pitch, steps into a space shaped by skate culture, where Gonz has long been a creative influence both on a board and through his art.
The collaboration backdrop with adidas Skateboarding and Thrasher Magazine brings different worlds into the same frame.
Football fans recognize Messi as a defining figure of modern football, while skateboarding communities have followed Gonz for decades as someone who helped shape street skating into what it is today.
Seeing both of them connected through a single project builds a rare crossover moment between audiences that do not often overlap.
