adidas F50 Elite x Messi FG

Silver Met./Solar Yellow/Lucid Blue

The best of the best. Elite soccer cleats are the cleats professional players wear on-field, made using the highest quality materials and featuring the latest technologies and innovations. The premium option for players who demand the best possible performance from their cleats.

Making a much-anticipated return to adi’s first-team lineup, the F50 is back and faster than ever, taking up the mantle as the 3-Stripes’ flagship speed cleat.

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.

Many of the best players in the history of the game have trusted adidas soccer cleats 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 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.
