The concept aimed to create a design that blended the originality of Messi's playing style with the authenticity of his roots. His unique playing style was expressed through swift, instinctive, and unpredictable brushstrokes, mirroring his signature moves, sudden changes of direction, explosive acceleration or a brilliant touch to pass another player.
