Why Lionel Messi’s Shirt Is the Hottest Commodity in Miami

• Lionel Messi was officially presented as a new Inter Miami player on Sunday
• The Argentine received a warm welcome during his presentation
• His iconic no. 10 shirt was the hottest commodity in Miami

Lionel Messi's iconic No. 10 jersey became the most coveted item, setting the stage for unprecedented demand at his official unveiling with Inter Miami on Sunday night.

The Inter Miami shirt adorned with Messi's name and number was available for purchase at the stadium, but it carried a substantial price tag of $199.

During his much-anticipated unveiling at DRV PNK Stadium, Messi chose a relaxed approach (while simultaneously promoting his brand) by donning jeans and a white shirt from his exclusive collection with Adidas, per Sportskeeda.

However, fans were treated to a glimpse of the football legend donning the complete Inter Miami kit through a video shared by the club, showcasing a recent encounter between Messi and David Beckham.

Inter Miami's jersey variations

Inter Miami enthusiasts seeking to acquire a Messi shirt can choose from three distinct options: the primary white home jersey, the "Heart Beat" pink edition, and the "La Noche" black jersey embellished with pink accents, all of which are accessible to the public.

The MLS club unveiled Messi's "La Noche" jersey, and ever since on July 11th, and fans have been eagerly yearning to possess it, as reported by Marca.

As the official website does not currently offer the shirt bearing Messi's name and number in any variation, fans present at the official presentation had the exclusive opportunity to be among the first to acquire it for their cherished collections.
