adidas Kids F50 Club x Messi FG/MG

Ftwr White/Lucid Red/Silver Met.

Taking up the mantle as adi’s flagship speed boot, the F50 is back and faster than ever. And when you think of its history, that takes some doing.

Originally released ahead of Euro 2004, the F50 was on the feet of some of the world’s quickest players for the next decade, from a turbo-charged teenage Messi to prime Arjen Robben and Gareth Bale. Lethal finishers loved its combination of a lightweight feel and clean strike zone too, with sharpshooters such as David Villa, Lukas Podolski, Karim Benzema, and Luis Suarez choosing to lace up in various versions over the years.

Various is right – the F50’s back catalogue spans multiple generations with several significant innovations and redesigns. There was the Tunit concept with its interchangeable studs and sockliners, giving every wearer the opportunity to “tune” the boot to specific surfaces and personal preferences. The adizero iterations, including the Prime and 99g, as the 3-Stripes chased ultimate lightweight speed. The integration of the MiCoach data-tracking system. Experimentation with leather versus synthetics in the race for top performance. Wherever you look, the F50 has always been at the forefront of football boot innovation.

Today, it’s all about raw pace. Designed for acceleration in every direction, the next-gen adidas F50 sets the benchmark for speed all over the pitch. Any player, any position: if it’s one on one, your opponent’s done.

You’ll find plenty of Messi editions to choose from, in signature colourways and with design tweaks requested by the man himself, while the next generation of speedsters are sprinting up alongside Leo, as the likes of Lamine Yamal, Rafael Leao, and Linda Caicedo continue to race forward in the F50.

Many of the best players in the history of the game have trusted adidas football boots to help them reach their full potential, including Zinedine Zidane, David Beckham, and the one and only Lionel Messi.

The 3-Stripes’ pioneering outlook has seen them remain at the forefront of boot design ever since founder Adi Dassler first started making footwear in the 1920s.

From longstanding leather classics like the World Cup and Copa Mundial to more modern innovations like the all-conquering Predator, their boots are always built to combine comfort and performance.

The adidas range includes the F50 for speed, the Predator for control, and the Copa for touch. Ladies, check out the F50 Sparkfusion, which features a female-specific fit. Whichever boot suits your style, whether you like to lace up or go laceless, you’ll find options available for every type of surface and every level of play.
