adidas F50 Elite FG
It’s back, and it’s faster than ever. Off the charts for acceleration, the F50 returns ready to terrify defenses once again.The iconic cleat’s been reimagined using the latest lightweight tech, with adi tuning it for angled bursts of pace as well as straight-line speed.The all-new Sprintframe 360 soleplate features rounded midfoot cleats to allow those quick, decisive cuts that unsettle opponents, while the stabilizing external heel counter keeps you balanced and in control as you dart through the gaps.Taking cues from the F50’s superlight heritage, the Fibertouch upper provides a streamlined feel, offering support only where you need it to maintain comfort without slowing you down. Grippy Sprintweb 3D texturing enhances ball contact for dribbling at high speeds, and it extends all the way to the toe for even more precision.The laced edition features adi’s new Compression Fit Tunnel Tongue, which wraps the foot with strategically placed reinforcement for superior lockdown. The tongue section is thin yet strong, combining with ergonomic padding at the ankle to keep the fit snug while minimizing irritation.Like F50s past, the cleat comes with a choice of two sockliners in the box: stick with the SL for pure speed or swap in the Comfort for extra impact absorption.

F50
Originally released ahead of Euro 2004, it 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 the likes of 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 cleats and sockliners, giving every wearer the opportunity to “tune” the cleat 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 soccer cleat 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 field. Any player, any position: if it’s one on one, your opponent’s done.

The 3-Stripes’ pioneering outlook has seen them remain at the forefront of cleat 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 cleats are always built to combine comfort and performance.
The adidas range includes the X for speed, the Predator for control, and the Copa for touch. Whichever cleat 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.

Ground Type Guide
Selecting the correct sole plate for the surface you are playing on is crucial, not only for the performance and longevity of your cleats, but also to avoid the risk of injury.
Using an outsole that isn't designed specifically for the surface on which you are playing may cause premature wear and/or damage that will not be deemed as a fault of manufacture and will prevent the retailer accepting them for a refund or exchange.
Firm Ground
Cleats with Firm Ground soleplates are only to be used on natural short-grass surfaces that is firm underfoot but may be slightly wet.
Designed specifically for this playing surface, they offer acceleration, comfort and enhanced traction, dispersing stud pressure evenly across the foot.
FG soleplates are fixed (not removable) and are used worldwide; wetter countries tend to use them spring to autumn.
FG cleats are not to be used on artificial ground (AG) surfaces as the construction is not designed for the extra friction.
FG cleats used on AG surfaces will invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty.
