Introducing the new F50i football boots.
The first model released was in the Cyan / White / Running Black colourway, famously seen on Lionel Messi in the Champions League final.
adidas are going for broke with this new football boot - their marketing machine has upped the ante with a unique poster campaign and the company promise that there is much more to come.
As you’d expect from adidas and the TUNiT line, the football boot is fully customisable, featuring a sleek second skin for amazing control with a selection of studs and chassis to adapt to your individual playing style.
Upper: Sprintskin is a revolutionary single-layer synthetic for incredible ball feel and reduced weight. Innovative lace cover for optimal fit and increased kicking area.
Lining: Synthetic.
Inlay: New exchangeable pre-moulded TUNiT standard insock for premium support and cushioning.
Outsole: Traxion FG for grip and comfort on firm natural surfaces. Comes with additional SG and HG studs.

Cyan / Running White / Black
Black / Running White / Cyan

Wow, I really like the design on these - I’m sure it’ll split opinion but I think it’s a great looking boot. White/Black/Red especially.
And it’s even better that they’re offering a Leather upper from the getgo!
I wonder what a second skin is though? More marketing buzzwords?
April 3rd, 2009 at 1:18 pm
man, i wonder if they will be compatible with all the f50.8 parts….cuz i was going to get the f50.9 CL upper, but ill totally wait for these!
April 3rd, 2009 at 2:03 pm
How do these differ from the 50.9 out at the minute?
Apart from a price increase..
I would not buy the leather ones as they are just the same as adipures..
No Thanks
April 3rd, 2009 at 2:41 pm
These look like a massive overhaul of the previous models, which will gather more support i believe.
I like the look and shape of these, will definitely try em on.
April 3rd, 2009 at 2:50 pm
There are quite a lot of technical differences actually
April 3rd, 2009 at 3:04 pm
They look nice, are the black ones second from top in leather? Regarding Adidas football boots there is only one for me “The Predators”.
April 3rd, 2009 at 3:04 pm
lovely in cyan but the should make a yellow and green pair lovely and a orange and black pair pro rip clean
April 3rd, 2009 at 4:30 pm
that cleat look really beautiful. i only liked the f50.6 and f50.7, but that look really that fit to your feet, and in my opinion, they look like vapors with better lacecover
April 3rd, 2009 at 4:32 pm
did you noticed the second top stitching
April 3rd, 2009 at 5:01 pm
The red and white ones are hands down the best colour way. The price is crazy tough. The resemblance to the adipure is there. To me tunits are a stupid idea. Definately agree that predators are some of the best boots of all time. Still nothing compares to the vapor 3’s.. In red and white of course..
April 3rd, 2009 at 5:41 pm
those are a classy classy looking boot! best looking adidas boot design ive seen in a while! i like all the colorways, and its nice they got a k-leather one (which is what i presume the other black on is)
they look like a hybrid of the older f50s, a copa mundial, and a vapor lol (thats probably just me tho)
“First impressions suggest they lack the impactful, striking design of the F50.8 and the sleek running lines of the F50.9 ”
really? i find these many times better looking than the previous f50s. i was never interested in the previous versions, but this one interests me quite a bit.
ive heard allot of negative comments regarding the whole TUNIT system on the past boots, perhaps they made it better for this version? even still, theres always the F30, much cheaper and without the whole interchangeable shenanigans.
one thing i notice is the shape: the previous versions seemed more wide, this one seems more narrow…probably why i compared the shape a bit to the copa. being as though i have a long narrow foot, id like to give these a try!
April 3rd, 2009 at 7:31 pm
Yuk, sorry but do not like these boots at all! they look like they have taken a step back in time with these boots! and the shape is ghastly!
April 3rd, 2009 at 8:14 pm
those look great i like how they have sorta adapted from the adipures
April 3rd, 2009 at 9:39 pm
These boots look a lot less bulky than the previous TUNiTs. The F50.8’s and F50.9’s did not have great ball feel, but these new ones look like the thin upper will make a difference. Plus, the lace cover looks to be in a better place. The synthetic black and vivid blue along with the white looks awesome!
April 3rd, 2009 at 10:08 pm
Are some of those K-leather? I might wear the f50’s AGAIN!!!!
April 3rd, 2009 at 10:38 pm
Amazing! Finally a boot that looks like it’s for speed… in my opinion…. I believe these will be a great hit.. 100% on BootOmeter
April 3rd, 2009 at 11:23 pm
they look exactly like the predators
April 3rd, 2009 at 11:45 pm
i like them especially the withe-black-red.
will there be a white -black and red version of the leather ones they would be awsome
April 4th, 2009 at 1:22 am
Are you serious..?
How on earth do they look like predators. Like honestly pay for some glasses if necessary, just say the word. Like I said before, they give me a vapor feelin..
April 4th, 2009 at 2:55 am
The White/Black/Red ones are the nicest in my opinion, but the stars on the side spoils it. Does anyone know the significance of it??
April 4th, 2009 at 3:10 am
chet said: Comment 3 April, 2009 @ 11:23 pm
they look exactly like the predators
are you blind chet, they look like vapors, or f50, but they dont look like the predators.
April 4th, 2009 at 9:24 am
nice -_- -_- -_-
April 4th, 2009 at 9:37 am
yah i agree on the vapor feel to them, like an adidas style vapor….
thats why i said they look a bit like an older f50/copa mundial/vapor feel….
i say older f50 cuz of the alls klear or whatever they are calling the see thru heel…
the shape reminds me of a copa, especially the black k-leather one…
and they def. look more like a lightweight/speedy boot like the vapors.
all in all, one of the nicest looking boots ive seen in a while!
ive heard some people complain about previous itunits and their replaceable studs….perhaps they improved that on these?
if not, the F30 versions of these will still look just as nice. they just wont have the itunit studs…
April 4th, 2009 at 9:47 am
He means the new Predators to be released soon.
They are simular
April 4th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Am I the Only one that can see the ugliness in those boots
they are the worst boots i’ve seen since the kelme shark
CAN’T ANYBODY SEE THATTTT!
April 4th, 2009 at 5:23 pm
coool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 4th, 2009 at 6:23 pm
They look nice, real minimal and form fitting.
April 5th, 2009 at 2:27 am
new predators ???
where can i see them ???
April 5th, 2009 at 6:27 am
Nike 4 life man, adidas jus ain’t on nike’s level
April 5th, 2009 at 2:31 pm
These boots are really better looking. I bet these boots are to challenge those mercurial vapours, looking at the shapes. i prefer these to those vapours dudes. Dont know why.
April 5th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
WOAH! Nice… but not a fan of F50 series in terms of wearing, but definitely a fan in terms of design.
This is the best yet… and the overall feel is like vapor but I am biased and think these may be actually better boots!
Anyway, still very happy in the 4th month of my new adiPures.
April 5th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
a step back for the F50 line.
the f50s are supposed to be the cutting edge, push the envelope, never seen this before type of football boots.
cant say that about these.
if ur gonna get these ones, better get the adipures instead. same shape, cheaper price.
April 5th, 2009 at 6:46 pm
Sick, for people who cant wear vapors, like me, this is the best boot on the market. Nike always give me blisters no matter how long i wear them.
So this is really an outcome, they arent as beautiful as the vapors, but at least these come close.
Def gonna cop the blue ones.
April 5th, 2009 at 9:17 pm
I like these new ones , they are all nice boots , i really like the leather ones. Do you no if they will be making the blacked out ones i like black boots and i would like them .
April 6th, 2009 at 7:22 am
I really love the design and the colors. very lovely and you choose my favorite colors. The white, black and blue are colors i love on boots. I wonder where i can buy those. Are they available now on the market?
April 6th, 2009 at 7:29 am
“the f50s are supposed to be the cutting edge, push the envelope, never seen this before type of football boots.”
i have to agree with the lad’s opinion right there…
i remember dropping my jaws the first time i saw F50.8’s see through heel section. it’s a worthless and gold idea at the same time.
the “back to the basic” development should stick with adidas pure. i’d say that F50s are supposed to keep boldly go where no one dares before…
at least that’s what i thought. meanwhile i’ll stick to my F30.9
April 6th, 2009 at 8:11 pm
the blavk leather does look like predators
April 6th, 2009 at 11:39 pm
Whoever asked about the stars on the White/Black/Red model… I think that it’s actually for the Champions League
April 7th, 2009 at 8:07 am
I think this is the best boots now in the market. Can’t wait to buy it. The F50 boots white and black color are really amazing. Very classy boots and i love it.
April 7th, 2009 at 2:24 pm
Nah,
I’ll wait for the special 10th anniversary of the adidas predators these will be some boots to own.. Not to mention a collectors edition aswell!
April 13th, 2009 at 6:50 am
nice boots but when release adidas new predator trustrike?please answer…
April 16th, 2009 at 2:51 am
yeaa look these are nice boots and i think they are defiantly better than the 50.8 and 50.9…..they are a kind of mix between the powerswerves and the previous f50…
I think Ill wait for either the new predators or the mercurial vapor 6
April 16th, 2009 at 11:47 pm
i dont think adidas did a good job with these. i liked the tunit because it was a different retro boot. ya got it wrong this time…
April 17th, 2009 at 7:38 pm
fantastic boots but the colours aren?t very good. the designe is nice .But who wear this shoes ? Messi or another?etc
April 18th, 2009 at 5:08 pm
this boots are horrible and too expansive. the f50.9 are the best
April 18th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
this boots are too similar than the predator powerserve…
April 18th, 2009 at 9:46 pm
I don’t like them they look more like prededors.
April 19th, 2009 at 2:50 am
HELLO TO EVERYONE , I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I GET A PAIR OF THIS SHOES FROM A PAIR IN EUROPE . THEY ARE THE SICKEST BOOTS EVER !!! THE DESIGN IS SO GREAT AND THE NEW SKIN UPPER MATERIAL , MAKE THEM MORE LIGTHER AND FASTER ON THE FIELD . ALSO A BETTER BETTER TOUCH WITH THE BALL . THE NEW LACECOVER IS PERFECT FOR THE GREAT SHOTS . ABSOLUTELY THE BEST COMPLETE SHOES IN THE MARKET . THE STUDS SYSTEM LOOKS BETTER , ALL IS WAY BETTER THAN THE F50.8 AND .9 . IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW HOW GREAT THEY ARE , THEY HAVE A PERFECT COMBINATION , LIGTHER LIKE THE VAPORS OR NEAR TO THAT WEIGTH AND POWER AND TOUCH LIKE THE PREDS AND ADIPURES . THE BEST SHOES EVER , TRY THEM AND YOU WILL SEE THAT WHAT I’M SAYING IS TRUE . THANKS
April 25th, 2009 at 2:37 am
I dont really like the look of them, if I got them I would probably wear them with a f50.9 or a f50.7 upper
April 25th, 2009 at 2:38 am
By the way does anyone know a trusted company that sells f50.9 uppers online and ships them worldwide, as I live in New Zealand its really difficult to get uppers. Please only tell me ones that arnet scams
April 27th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
I want those leather or white ones!!!
May 1st, 2009 at 4:43 pm
These are sick especially the blue ones and the white ones. Does any one know when these will be available for pre-order?
May 5th, 2009 at 5:28 pm
Are you crazy they are nice, but when they come?
May 8th, 2009 at 4:39 am
Are you crazy they are nice, but when they come? reply:
the come out june of this year so next month
May 23rd, 2009 at 4:39 pm
I still don’t get why messi plays with the f30’s and not with the f50’s
May 23rd, 2009 at 4:51 pm
NICE! but as some suggested, a good idea is to get the F30 to have regular cleats and cheaper (vs any of the top nike or adidas boots) and still a top performer (in my friend’s opinion cos I’ve yet to try this seris).
Someone asked about uppers online? Get it from Footy-boots!
May 23rd, 2009 at 7:16 pm

adidas te la comistes con esos zapatos estan sadicos son los mejores barça campeon de la champions y messi es el mejor del mundo ATT: Angelo
May 24th, 2009 at 12:00 am
Im guessing with so much success with the Nike Vapors Adidas needed to come up with a similar design to combat their boot design. So i would say that this is the answer. The f50 range is not so popular like the vapors are. Adidas need this boot 12 months ago. I still believe the best boot is the Predator. These new boots actually look better than the vapors with a nicer lace cover. Cant wait to see all the new color ranges in the coming months. I think adidas are on a winner with these. a BIG winner!! Look out vapor!!
May 24th, 2009 at 12:02 am
Your blind !!! If anyone like the Vapor, these are a whole lot better. Get some glasses
May 24th, 2009 at 12:22 am
dude do the red and white ones come out soon?
May 24th, 2009 at 9:37 am
I think you are all mad these are not real football boots there a fashion statement. There for players who are more bothered about looking the part. I wear mizuno morelia and can honestly say the f50 are not in the same league, if you want to buy adidas boots then it has to be the adidas world cup….
May 24th, 2009 at 9:29 pm
such as?
May 25th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
wahat are the blue ones in the bottom doing ?
May 26th, 2009 at 12:20 am
Will the f50.9 chassis be compatable with the uppers?
May 26th, 2009 at 1:32 am

jaajajjaja that is funny, that boot is only on pre-order, they are coming out at july.
May 26th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
the new F50 look just like Predator from the outside of the boot !!
May 26th, 2009 at 3:58 pm

May 29th, 2009 at 11:47 pm

May 30th, 2009 at 4:23 am
does any1 know when the white 1ns come out?
June 3rd, 2009 at 4:39 pm
I wonder, how long it takes to get that product in Brazil.
Thank you,
Cris Gico.
June 8th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
Why are there 2 different prices, what are the differences between the cheaper and more expensive one?? Overall, this boot has an amazing design and if the description is accurate, this boot is going to be amazing. i’ve seen this in a lot of adidas stores for 125 pounds but none for 195. i havent got them yet because im scared the 195 is way better. also do the studs and all the custom stuff come with the boot?
June 8th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
why are there two different prices? whats the difference?
June 12th, 2009 at 4:38 am
one of the prices is in pounds and the other is in dollars.
and yes i love these boots but i just got f30.9’s so i wont be lacing up in a pair of f50i’s for a while
June 14th, 2009 at 4:17 am
Does anyone know if the 50.8 and 50.9 components are compatible with the F50i uppers?? Thanks.
June 15th, 2009 at 8:59 am
im getin them bcoz messi haz dem coz he is a legend bestplayer in theworld
June 15th, 2009 at 10:49 pm
gaddamnit why can’t anyone find out if the uppers are compatible with previous f50’s?!? No way i’m paying for anything more than an upper. adidas ripped me off (and probably many others) by making the f50.9’s last 4 months…
June 16th, 2009 at 9:12 pm
YES THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY COMPATIBLE WITH THE PREVIOUS F50 MODELS . TRUST ME , I HAVE ALL THE MODELS INCLUDING THIS NEW F50.I . I GOT THEM FROM A FRIEND WHO GOT THEM FOR ME IN A STORE !!!
June 16th, 2009 at 9:16 pm

June 19th, 2009 at 12:15 am
no his not his good but no the best in the world
June 19th, 2009 at 2:58 am
these are basically the adidas version of the vapors in my opinion
June 19th, 2009 at 5:32 pm
simplsmente a melhor
June 19th, 2009 at 5:33 pm
just the best
June 19th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
amelhor do mundo
June 21st, 2009 at 10:42 pm
the vapors are VERY light weight compared to these, almost 2 full ounces lighter. i don’t think they are even close to being the same.
June 23rd, 2009 at 10:46 am
These are ugly compared to the f50.9. The black lace cover is feral they could have made it the same colour as the rest of the boot and the stripes look like predator stripes. Imagine a cyan f50.9 it would own this ugly bitch
June 30th, 2009 at 1:37 am
i hate these boots they hurt my feet sooooooooooooooooooooo bad
July 2nd, 2009 at 2:46 am
RONALDO!
July 5th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
I really want to buy these boots but im just worried about the exchangable studs. Have you ever had any problems with them?
July 8th, 2009 at 12:43 am
These cleats are extremely comfortable! If you do not get these cleats you are insane or you have chick feet!
July 12th, 2009 at 10:37 pm
got a pair of these today infact beautifull pair of boots and to get good contact with the ball dont believe what people are saying about the changable studs i had the f50.8’s no problems at all, smarter pair of boots than the other f50’s and much nicer looking in ‘cyan’ all in all a stunning pair of boots!
July 18th, 2009 at 5:42 pm
the first time i saw them i thought that messi was wearing predators. they are exactly the same.
July 21st, 2009 at 2:18 am
hey messi wears the f30i man
July 23rd, 2009 at 3:11 am
Cilabai
July 23rd, 2009 at 1:28 pm
messi is the best player in the world
July 23rd, 2009 at 10:22 pm
the new f50i’s are amazing
July 27th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
does the sprintskin rip bcuz i am guna get these nd i duno wat 2 get sprintskin or leather i wud usually play about every day
August 7th, 2009 at 9:53 am
i think u should get the leather because u play every day and they might rip but they are really good boots and well worth all the money u pay 4 them and the box that u get them in is just sick =)
August 8th, 2009 at 6:42 pm
Maria never a prob with studs with my f50.8s wich i still wear 4 about 2 yrs now atill good nike ok puma great adidas best im getting the !
August 12th, 2009 at 11:34 am
the second skin is the sprint skin bcuz they say it is 1 layer so it basically means the first skin is your skin nd the 2nd is the sprintskin sorri hard 2 explain
August 12th, 2009 at 11:38 am
hey the boot king thanks alot for your reply at least there are some nice ppl on the internet thx :D:D
August 13th, 2009 at 12:26 am
BEST BOOTS ON THE EARTH!!
ALWAYS HAVE BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE !!
i love these boots cant wait to get them
August 21st, 2009 at 5:12 pm
messi whos he it should be my name on them boots.
i have a pair myself they feel and look so sexy.
when your sprinting down right wing showing off all your skills they look klass coz all you can see is a blue blure on your feet.
when you get the real f50’s they are defo worth the money you can have so much fun changing the three sets of studs you get
swap messis name to mine
August 21st, 2009 at 5:22 pm
i no adidas is 2 good nike are a load of wank look and feel shit i got a pair of nikes and after 2 weeks a threw them in bin and got some f50s which are miles nicer , comfier, klassier and sexier also look better when you play in them
nike is no con test to adidas
August 25th, 2009 at 3:20 am
perfect !!!!!!!!!!!
August 27th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
the leather boots of this f50i is better than synthetic
August 29th, 2009 at 2:34 am
very nice shoes.. i want it the same, yellow or orange… :cc adidas make it???
August 30th, 2009 at 6:42 pm
THEY RULE
September 4th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
ya bende f50.9 un siyah sarısı var ama bunuda denemek istiyorum acaba kullananlardan art numarasını rica edebilirmiyim arkadaşlar bu mavi olanın ama
September 18th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
good point, such as jj?
September 26th, 2009 at 6:09 pm
I have vapors and they are brutal. The ball spins off the synthetic material when u shoot, they don’t allow tour foot to breath. Plus the synthetic stuff ripps really easy.
And I want to get the leather versions of the F50i. They look too sick.
September 26th, 2009 at 6:13 pm
I don’t think that the f50i’s weight will affect my play much.
October 13th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
Addidas f50 will lead the sports world.
October 16th, 2009 at 4:35 am
I have both Vapor 3 and F50.I and serously they are completly different…Vapor are lighter but F50 gives a better feel with the balls…seroiously recommand F50
October 17th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
great boot…excellent frm adidas!!!!!!!!!
November 9th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
son mas comodos qe los otros adidas son bacanes

i just got these boots a few days ago and love them! Haven t gotten on blister and no foot pain. only bad part is they already have a holy in the cleat(Adidas is sending me new ones). don’t know if my pair was messed up or if these cant hold up to a high school soccer practice. Feel grate and work amazing. great choice!
