Messi Celebrates 15 Years with Adidas Through Special F50 Edition

Leandro Messi and Adidas are marking 15 years of partnership with a limited-edition football boot that revisits the iconic F50 model worn during the Argentine’s most memorable solo goal. The release commemorates the 2007 Copa del Rey match between FC Barcelona and Getafe CF at Camp Nou, where Messi picked up the ball in his own half and dribbled past multiple opponents – a moment that became part of football history.
The Goal That Inspired the Design
The special-edition boot draws directly from the F50s Messi wore on 18 April 2007. Adidas has replicated the mid-range version of that era’s F50 model, featuring the brand’s three signature stripes running the length of the outer side.
Details Behind the Boot Construction
While the exact base model is not immediately visible through the design, the upper includes a Primeknit panel and an FG outsole attached to an external heel counter – similar to the current Adidas X Ghosted. The synthetic upper pays homage to the original Adidas F50 Tunit. Key details include:
- The +Teamgeist logo replaced with “Messi + 10” on the upper instep
- A yellow circle on the heel featuring the FC Barcelona player’s personal logo, marking this as an exclusive Argentine edition
A Nod to the Original F50 Tunit
One of the most significant features is the F50 logo on the outside of the left boot and the F30 logo on the outside of the right boot. This indicates that the model is the Adidas F50.7 Tunit – although at the time, Messi actually wore the mid-range F30 version, which was custom-modified for him.
Messi at Copa América 2024
These special-edition Adidas football boots are the ones Leo Messi is wearing during the current summer’s Copa América. The release serves as a journey back to the days when the Rosario-born star was the face of Adidas’s Speed line, a boot style with which he was truly synonymous.
