The line includes:

The "Phygital" Phenomenon: Merging the Physical and Digital in the Shopping Experience

 

The launch strategy for Messi Originals in Miami incorporates innovative elements that blur the lines between the physical and digital, creating an immersive and unique shopping experience.

"The 'phygital' concept is the future of retail, and Messi Originals is taking it to the next level," says Diego Martinez, a retail tech expert at the University of Miami.

Estela Rotmistrovsky, from Miami, comments, "Few people and brands understand the new marketing that intertwines with branding, experiences, category expansion (not just product lines, we're talking about new business categories), brand culture, associativity, crossing channels, and phygital media – all of that, interconnected in time, is Crossing Marketing. Adidas, Inter Miami, Messi, F1, and Ferrari are some of the brands leading this coherent vision."

Highlighted elements of the modern phygital experience today:

• Virtual fitting rooms with augmented reality

• Exclusive NFTs with each physical purchase

• Gamification of the in-store experience through a mobile app

• Special content, private broadcasts, promotions

 

Economic Analysis: The Impact on Miami's Luxury Sportswear Market

 

According to projections by consulting firm Deloitte, the Messi Originals line is expected to generate an economic impact of $150 million in the Miami metropolitan area during its first year.

"This launch not only benefits adidas but is creating a multiplier effect across the entire fashion and luxury retail industry in Miami," explains Dr. Sofia Rodriguez, an economist specializing in luxury markets.

 

The Psychology Behind the Success: Why Messi Originals Connects with the Miami Consumer

 

Dr. Roberto Sánchez, a consumer psychologist, offers his perspective: "The Messi Originals collection appeals to multiple psychological levels of the Miami Anglo-Latino consumer. On the one hand, it satisfies the need to belong to an exclusive group; on the other, it fuels the aspiration for success and social recognition so valued in this community."

Key psychological factors:

• Perceived exclusivity

• Association with success and excellence

• Social validation through an iconic figure

 

 

The Future of "Athleisure" in the Latin Market: Trends and Predictions

 

Consulting firm McKinsey & Company projects that the "athleisure" market in Latin America will grow by 12% annually until 2030, with Miami as the epicenter of innovation and trends.

"Messi Originals is laying the groundwork for a new era in luxury sportswear. We expect to see a proliferation of collaborations between elite athletes and fashion brands in the coming years," anticipates Valentina Lopez, a fashion trend analyst for Latin America.

 

Social Responsibility: Messi and adidas' Commitment to the Miami Community

 

As part of the launch, the creation of the Messi Originals Foundation has been announced, which will invest 5% of sales in sports programs for at-risk youth in the Miami area.

"We want this collection not only to dress people but also to build a better future for our community," declares Lionel Messi at an exclusive press conference.
