Lionel Messi has been associated with Adidas since 2006, when the Argentine icon has signed an exclusive agreement with the giant of sports clothes.
Almost two decades, the collaboration remains strong, constantly delivering new clothes and, in particular, football boots.
The latest version is a nostalgic wink in the past.
Scheduled for its release this summer, the F50 Messi Elite FG tunit marks the return of a legendary silhouette of the Adidas archives. As House of Heat reported, design takes a daring step over time, the recovery of the essence of favorite tunin boots from fans from the late 2000s.
Inspired specifically by the models of Tunit F50 between 2007 and 2009, the updated version channeled nostalgia through its distinct aesthetics – in particular the curved graphic of Miped which flows into three prominent stripes in the toe, echoing the style that Messi wore during his first climb to Barcelona.
But these boots are not only looks – they also incorporate advanced technology.
According to football titles, the white and pink F50s have a fine fiber stem for improved ball control, a compression adaptation language for optimal comfort and “Lightstrike pro” foam, generally seen in Adidas racing shoes, to maximize energy feedback.
Sale at around £ 220, the F50 Messi Elite FG Tunnit should be released in June via the official Adidas website.
Dear, of course – but if you are a Messi fan looking for a boot that captures the mind from its beginnings, it strikes the brand.
