For mere mortals, Lionel Messi's 2015/16 season would have been qualified as an unmitigated success; a domestic double and a Copa America final appearance to go with 41 club goals in 49 appearances.





But the five-time Ballon d'Or winner is not a mere mortal and many defenders (or victims) over the years will attest to that .Thus, the 2016/17 season for the Barcelona great will be a season where we could expect him to return to the dizzying heights he has reached before.





And it appears adidas are preparing for him to do just that with the release of the new MESSI 16+ PUREAGILITY boots.

They are simply beautiful. And though we doubt these boots will take Messi's mind completely off his current predicament with the Spanish law, the intricate beauty of the boots is a reminder of the Argentine's other-worldly gifts.





But the diminutive forward will not be the only La Liga star adidas kit out for the 2016/17 season. Images of the incredible X16+ PURECHAOS boots have been released and Messi's Barca teammate Luis Suarez will be tearing up the Camp Nou pitch with them while Real Madrid's Gareth Bale will light up the Bernabeu pitch with them too.
