adidas F50 adiZero Football Boots - Chameleon/Electricity
Unveiling the stunning looking Lionel Messi adidas F50 adiZero Chameleon football boots! Truly extraordinary looking football boots, and the SoccerBible has got the most exclusive shots on the web...
The new Chameleon Purple adidas F50 adiZero football boots, will be Lionel Messi's exclusive colourway for the 2010 World Cup. The F50 adiZero range is using Messi as their global icon, as he has the ability to change the game in an instant! Messi is the ultimate F50 player, combining creativity, speed and lightning quick footwork to dazzling effect!
The Chameleon/Electricity adiZero football boots have a fantastic colour shifting effect, which means these boots will catch the eye from every angle. The Messi Chameleon football boot are certainly the signature piece, from a boot range that is set to explode onto the pitches in South Africa.
The synthetic upper versions of the adiZero's is a super-slim 165grams (5.8oz), making this not only adidas' most revolutionary football boot to date, but by far their lightest. You may be surprised at how much thought, development and tech adidas have crammed into that 165g cleat, they have in no way sacrificed technology and performance for weight.
The SprintSkin single layer synthetic returns from the F50i, this time upgraded and uprated to give even more of a second skin feel. Thinner and lighter than the previous model, perhaps the most obvious benefit is the zero water uptake - meaning this cleat doesn't get heavy even in wet conditions.
The F50 adiZero soccer cleats also have a new "grain" engineered onto the outer surface, designed to give greater ball grip in both the wet and dry. Using a Copa Mundial as their test benchmark, adidas claim much greater spin and grip with this grain. We'll have to wait and see what our play test team make of that claim first!
The adidas F50 adiZero adopts an asymmetric parrallel lacing system which moves off-centre to create a greater, cleaner kicking surface. Also introduced is a new "Taperlace" system, intended to be much thinner and flatter to reduce any unnecessary material between the foot and the ball. The top of the lace area has also been made wider, so your tied laces won't get in the way as much!
The FG plate features new triangular Traxion studs, placed at strategic positions across the sole unit which aid pressure distribution and are designed to give improved directional grip. The SG plate takes the form of a mixed sole version which substitutes 6 removeable aluminium studs at the toe and heel. Both sole plates offer stability through a sleeker midfoot area which also goes to creating a snug fit.
This new last is unique to the F50 series, differing from the Predator and adiPure lasts which have a wider yet flatter footbed. Meaning the studs can be positioned closer to the outside of the sole to give greater stability, essential when you are looking to create the fastest boot on the planet for the best footballer in the world!
