This is the piece with the most going on. The base stays light blue and white the way Argentina always has it — the difference is the Sun of May, which is no longer confined to the crest area. It is scaled up and laid across the front and back of the shirt, so the flag's sun becomes the shirt's geometry rather than a badge sitting on top of it.

Gold does the rest. It picks out the federation crest on the chest, the number on the back, and the finishing at the collar and cuffs. On the chest, the supplier's own performance mark is gone: the player's personal mark sits in its place, which is the clearest signal that this is a one-player, one-occasion piece and not part of the normal season range.

The goalkeeper's version keeps the pattern and changes the colour: an elegant dark green with the same Sun of May running across the body. Gold returns at the collar, the cuffs and the three stripes on the shoulders, and the federation crest and the player's personal mark are picked out in gold as well.

The set is completed with green shorts and dark green socks, so the goalkeeper wears one continuous colour from shoulder to shin rather than a mix.

This one is light blue and white at the base, but the transition between them is soft rather than striped — a washed, tie-dye style fade instead of hard bands. The federation crest and the player's personal mark sit dead centre on the chest, ringed by the Sun of May, so the graphic reads as one circular emblem rather than two separate badges.

The sleeves are cut in a slightly more saturated blue than the body, which is what stops the fade from looking flat under floodlights.

The track range drops the blue and white entirely for a deep night navy, then pulls the gold back in where it counts: a small crest on the chest, a three-stripe shoulder detail, and a full-length stripe down the side of the pants. The jacket zips the whole way and the pants are tapered with an elasticated waist.

Rendered for the launch on a hangar backdrop, both pieces read as quiet until you get close — which is the point. It is the one part of the range you would wear on a normal day.

The boot is the F50 Messi Elite on a firm-ground soleplate — a light sprint-oriented last in white, with mint and pink detailing and a gold personal mark near the heel. It is built for natural grass, and it is the lightest thing in the collection.

The socks are white with a light blue cuff band and a gold trefoil knitted into the calf, so they sit correctly under either the match shirt or the track pants.
