Product Insights
The adidas Afa Soccer Jersey is a limited-edition collaboration with Djab, officially licensed for Canada, that marries Argentine heritage with modern streetwear. Engineered from 100% recycled polyester with GRS/RCS certification, its midweight double-knit fabric (220-350 GSM) delivers substantial drape, 20-30% stretch with solid recovery, and a soft, matte hand—while requiring gentle care for the back printed numeral. The slim fit tailors tighter than standard adidas Originals shirts, but the crossover V-neck and substantial drape allow smooth layering under jackets; sizing up offers a relaxed fit. Heritage stripes from the 1908 Argentine flag repeat on collar and sleeve trim, and the AFA crest bears the Sun of May symbolizing independence and Inca heritage. At $120 CAD, this exclusive Simons collaboration sits between replica and authentic, offering everyday durability and collector appeal.

User shares experience owning authentic Argentina Messi kit
I have the authentic Argentina kit for this World Cup with Messi’s numbering on it and I plan on wearing it during the matches and after that I’ll wear it in very specific situations. Overall the quality on the authentic kits are far superior and to me personally they are very satisfying to wear. However, they require more care and the less times you have to wash them the better. Specially with authentic kits that come with a player number/name since those are the first that can go belly up if not properly maintained.
