It’s hard to think of a brand, or a sartorial trend in general, that has had a bigger comeback than the Birkenstock — first with their signature Arizona Slide Sandal (or “jesus sandals”), and more recently with their Boston Clog, which has become so popular in the decades since its 1979 launch, that select styles now go for nearly double their retail price on the aftermarket.

Charna Flam Argentina soccer star Lionel Messi will reportedly join the American soccer club Inter Miami; according to ESPN. The anticipated move follows the conclusion of Messi’s two-year contract with French soccer club, Paris St-Germain. Ahead of accepting the Miami deal, Messi was also offered a deal from Saudi Arabian soccer club Al-Hilal, which would have brought him into the league with Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. It was speculated by the BBC, that Messi gravitated toward Miami due to reasons unrelated to soccer, including the lifestyle and the brand deals he would receive, including Adidas and Apple.

Piers Morgan claims Lionel Messi is 'quitting elite football' ahead of his proposed move to Inter Miami - and yet he will avoid the 'scathing' criticism that Cristiano Ronaldo faced when he headed to Saudi Arabia.  Ronaldo forced his way out of Manchester United following a damning interview with Morgan that targeted the club and its manager Erik ten Hag. The Portuguese star was widely derided for being a mercenary and taking a mega-money deal to join Al-Nassr, rather than continue at the highest level in Europe.

Cristiano Ronaldo fans fear one of the greatest footballing eras may be coming to an end with the Manchester United icon unlikely to play club football against long-term rival Lionel Messi ever again, with the Argentinian reportedly set to join MLS franchise Inter Miami.
