"Diego, I speak to you on behalf of all Argentines. Wherever you are, I hope that you will help us bring the World Cup to Argentina this year."
The project is created by fintech company Give and Get

"The cleats and the tapes with the messages collected worldwide, and in the places where Diego made history are going to be sent in a satellite to orbit in space. The idea is that everything is documented so they can see everything is real. The cleats will have a camera and look for the Cosmic Kite. We, from the earth, will be able to see the route that the cleats take, dodging things and looking for Diego so that the messages from all over the world reach him as closely as possible."
