The bold new collection blends precision design with cultural storytelling and superior hydration – inviting fans and athletes to participate in and celebrate Messi's legacy with iconic silhouettes
SEATTLE, July 14, 2025 /CNW/ -- Stanley 1913, the global lifestyle brand built for performance and cultural relevance, announced today the second installment of its celebrated partnership with the Messi brand and legendary international athlete, Leo Messi. The co-branded Messi x Stanley 1913 collection builds on the commercial success of the first co-branded collection, offering fans and athletes a new innovative design of product silhouettes inspired by Messi's Argentinian roots and relentless pursuit of greatness.
"With this second iteration of the Messi x Stanley 1913 partnership, we're continuing to push the boundaries of what performance drinkware can mean with athletes powering the brand," shared Matt Navarro, Global President of PMI WW Brands, LLC. "It's product with purpose. The new collection, spanning our hydration and café categories, honors the mindset that drives elite athletes and everyday achievers alike – and we couldn't be more proud to do this alongside a partner like Messi."

"Building this next collection with Stanley 1913 feels especially meaningful," said Leo Messi. "The Striker Blue colorway is inspired by the colors of my home, Argentina, and it reflects the passion and precision I try to bring to the game. Stanley 1913 remains part of my daily life, especially for mate, and together we've created something that's about connection — to culture, to everyday moments, and to the drive that pushes us all forward."
Inspired by Messi's "Start early, stay late" mantra, the creative campaign features close-up shots of the new collection during blue hour as a pickup game heads into the night. Blue hour is the period of twilight occurring just before sunrise and just after sunset, where faint sunlight takes on a blue hue – the blue hour mood provokes and unleashes that undying dedication in those committed to superior performance and achievements in their sport.
The launch will also be brought to life through an immersive activation at DICK'S Sporting Goods House of Sport in Miami, Florida on July 26th - 27th, bringing fans and shoppers closer to the partnership through exclusive access, custom experiences, and storytelling rooted in Messi's culture and impact.
