adidas has reawakened one of football's most beloved boots – the F50 – to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the debut of football’s favourite speed boot.
For over a decade, the F50 was worn by some of the greatest and fastest players in the game. To support a new generation of players, the ‘Advancement Pack’ introduces three new iterations of this iconic boot, each engineered for game-changing speed.
All three models – the F50 Elite Laced, F50 Elite Laceless, and F50 Mid W Elite – feature Sprintframe 360, a soleplate designed for optimized stability and traction. The heel counter works seamlessly with a stud configuration of rounded and bladed studs to ensure foot steadiness at push-off, facilitating multidirectional speed and acceleration.
Each silhouette also showcases a Fibertouch Upper – a lightweight synthetic material that offers a moulded fit for support and additional cushioning. This is complemented by Sprintweb technology, a 3D texture applied to the primary ball contact areas for enhanced control when dribbling at speed.
The laced version features a compression-fit tunnel tongue with strategically placed reinforcements for additional stability and an enhanced fit in the forefoot and midfoot. The laceless model incorporates a collar made from Primeknit material, which moulds to the shape of the wearer’s foot for maximum comfort.
The F50 Mid W Elite is optimized for a woman’s foot. The ultra-soft Primeknit Midcut Collar offers an adaptive fit around the ankle for stability and comfort. Additionally, a supplementary sock liner has been applied to the upper region to stabilize foot movement within the boot by providing optimal arch support, delivering a modified fit for women footballers of all levels.
The predominantly white silhouette represents the lightweight nature of the boot, with solar red and lucid blue detailing on the medial and lateral sides, creating a flash-like effect as players speed by.
The new F50 signifies the revival of a beloved boot at a time when the game has reached unprecedented speeds. Engineered to help players everywhere unleash game-breaking velocity and dominate the field on their own terms, the new F50 is poised to redefine speed in football.
The F50 Elite Laced, F50 Elite Laceless, and F50 W Elite models are available for purchase starting today, online via adidas football shoes and select adidas stores and retailers.
