Reclaiming its place as adidas’ premier speed boot, the F50 returns—sleeker, faster, and more advanced than ever. And given its legendary past, that’s saying something.
First introduced in the lead-up to Euro 2004, the F50 quickly became the go-to choice for some of the game’s fastest players. From a lightning-fast teenage Lionel Messi to peak Arjen Robben and Gareth Bale, the F50 defined a generation of explosive talent. Deadly strikers also embraced its lightweight construction and precision strike zone, with stars like David Villa, Lukas Podolski, Karim Benzema, and Luis Suárez trusting it to deliver in front of goal.
Over the years, the F50 has gone through numerous evolutions, pushing boundaries with every release. From the modular Tunit system—with its customizable studs and sockliners—to the groundbreaking adizero series that included ultra-light versions like the Prime and the featherweight 99g model, adidas consistently pushed the limits of boot innovation. The F50 also introduced the MiCoach tracking system and featured a constant tug-of-war between synthetic and leather uppers in the pursuit of peak performance. Innovation was always at its core.
Now, the new F50 is built for one thing: pure speed. Engineered for explosive acceleration in every direction, it’s designed to dominate the modern game. No matter your position, if it’s a one-on-one, you’re already past them.
A wide range of signature Messi editions are available, featuring custom colorways and personal design touches from the legend himself. Meanwhile, the next wave of elite speedsters—like Lamine Yamal, Rafael Leão, and Linda Caicedo—are blazing forward in the F50, continuing the legacy of the fastest boot in football.
