The adidas F50 was a defining speed boot until its discontinuation in 2015, and fans have long missed it. Now, a collaboration between Fútbol Emotion and adidas brings back one of those boots that defined an era, leaving its mark on the hearts of many. This release celebrates the passion and craftsmanship adidas has shown in recent months, merging the stories of Fútbol Emotion and the three-stripe brand.
There is no better way to start than by paying tribute to what adidas has been doing – a true display of passion and craftsmanship. Two parallel stories come together: Fútbol Emotion on one side, passionate about sports equipment, and adidas on the other, a historic name in football. A brand without which nothing would be the same.
New F50 Memory Lane by Fútbol Emotion
Many readers know the history of the F50; others may not. The F50 was born in 2004, when adidas had only the Copa Mundial and Predator lines. The brand realised a new, lighter range was needed for attacking players. The F50 was created, with the adizero arriving later.
Storytelling
A brief look back shows where the colour scheme comes from – the hexagon, a shape seen on footballs and goal nets, ingrained in every fan’s mind. It appears in the Fútbol Emotion logo.
That is why everything is captured: love, passion, emotion, and the way football is lived. Hexagons appear on the boot. The colour gold represents success and triumph, adding an elegant, distinctive touch against a sober black background that pays homage to the classic player. The three white stripes proudly finish this unique boot.
Technical features: F50 by Fútbol Emotion
In 2014, adidas continued its mission to reduce boot weight to the absolute minimum. The adizero Crazylight weighed just 135 grams – a 20% reduction from the then-current adizero F50. This extreme weight reduction was achieved with the new microfibre HybridTouch. A technology that delighted everyone who tried it.
- HybridTouch took four times longer than traditional leather to absorb the same amount of water.
- HybridTouch was more durable than competitors and sister products under stress, maintaining its snug fit longer.
- HybridTouch was 40% lighter than natural leather.
- HybridTouch performed impressively in both wet and dry conditions.
The idea behind adidas HybridTouch was to provide the natural, flexible feel of leather combined with synthetic durability. Compared to traditional leathers, HybridTouch took four times longer to absorb moisture. Thanks to its synthetic construction, it was more resistant to wear and tear and retained its shape longer – something you can enjoy again in 2020.
Naturally, several aspects of this masterpiece remain, such as the studs. In 2014, the SprintFrame was a key feature in the adizero F50 and Crazylight – a technology that joined the sole and heel counter into a single piece, cushioning and supporting torsional forces just like traditional soles.
Today, progress is clear with the CARBITEX SPEEDFRAME in this F50, efficiently transmitting power through a revolutionary dynamic carbon fibre plate in the lightweight SpeedFrame construction. The X Ghosted, from which this plate originates, was the first football boot with a dynamic carbon plate. The soles are better, lighter, and feature studs adapted to modern pitches. These boots are made for playing, not for sitting on a shelf.
On the sentimental side, the perfect blend of colours evokes positive emotions: joy, pride, fun, inspiration, and passion. The adidas F50 is now a classic, but at its launch it was a shock to players. A story spanning more than 13 generations, from 2004 to 2015. Available from the 15th of December.
