New adidas X Speedportal 99 leather.1

In 2015, adidas launched a version of the iconic F50 that weighed just 99 grams (even less in some sizes). It was a technical milestone at a time when speed boots could not reach such levels of lightness. Now, in 2023, the concept returns in a new limited edition that blends that heritage with modern performance.

The Legacy of the 99g F50

The original 2015 F50 99g was a groundbreaking ultra-lightweight speed boot. Subsequent re‑editions appeared in 2016 and 2019 with minor updates but the same featherweight philosophy. Many professionals wore them, and they became a true success – yet after each release the model disappeared from the market.

The 2023 Return: X Speedportal 99 Leather.1

Finally, in 2023, adidas has introduced a new X99 edition that recalls both the concept and design of its predecessors. The boot channels the feel of those legendary 99-gram F50s. Aesthetically, it retains the semi‑transparent mesh and the three side stripes, while the forefoot features natural leather – a true gem for touch and comfort.

Technical Details and Weight

Unlike the ultra‑light X99.1 versions, this leather edition is not super lightweight. The use of natural leather in the forefoot, combined with a microfiber rear, results in a weight closer to 200 grams. That is still very light, but the focus here is on tribute and playability – it is a boot designed to be used today.

Soleplate and Traction

The soleplate is taken directly from the current adidas X Speedportal range. It features a highly reactive plate and a triad stud configuration that significantly improves traction in all directions.

A Limited-Edition Tribute

The adidas X Speedportal 99 Leather.1 is a spectacular boot that brings together everything fans of the X line expect: a precise fit, reliable traction, and the best touch thanks to natural leather. This limited edition is the boot many have been waiting for.
