Following a nine-year hiatus, adidas’ renowned F50 boots made an impressive return last year with the ‘Fast Reborn’ edition. Now, the celebrated speed boot is back again, this time as the F50 ‘Radiant Blaze’, a vibrant new design that honors the boot’s history and celebrates one of football’s greatest stars: Lionel Messi.
Inspired by the striking ‘Chameleon’ boots Messi sported during the 2010 World Cup, the Radiant Blaze boots shine with a mesmerizing blend of iridescent purple and neon green. This striking color combination isn’t just for aesthetics—it represents the explosive speed and precise control these boots offer on the field.
Designed for the speed enthusiasts, the Radiant Blaze incorporates the Sprintframe 360 soleplate, crafted to provide firm grip and stability as you weave through defenders. The boot’s stylish external heel counter not only enhances its look but also secures your foot, enabling swift directional changes and rapid sprints.
The lightweight Fibertouch upper wraps your foot in a snug, supportive fit, perfect for rapid acceleration and sharp turns. A textured Sprintweb overlay boosts ball control where it counts – helping you keep command even at full throttle.
Whether you prefer laces or a clean, laceless look, adidas has you covered. The laced version sports a flexible compression-fit tongue reinforced for extra lockdown, while the laceless model hugs your ankle with a soft Primeknit collar that feels like a second skin.
To top it off, adidas includes two sockliners so you can choose your perfect ride: the SL Speed Sockliner for blistering bursts, or the Comfort Sockliner for cushioned impact protection.
Some of football’s fastest stars – Messi himself, plus Lamine Yamal, Mohamed Salah, Florian Wirtz, Rafael Leão and Son Heung-min – will be rocking the Radiant Blaze, blazing trails and leaving defenders in the dust.
The Radiant Blaze also heads up adidas’ Radiant Blaze Pack, which refreshes the Predator and COPA boots with neon green accents – because when you’re turning heads, every detail counts.
With the F50 Radiant Blaze, adidas isn’t just celebrating speed – they’re lighting the way for a new generation of game-changers ready to leave their mark on football history.
