Designed with input from Lionel Messi, they offer unparalleled acceleration and precise control through advanced lightweight technology. While the soleplate's vibrant lacquer finish may exhibit cosmetic wear during play, this is a normal characteristic and does not impact the boot's performance.

The adidas F50 Elite x Messi FG boots are built for players who dominate with speed and agility. The Sprintframe 360 Soleplate is the core of their performance, enabling rapid acceleration and quick, sharp turns. The rounded midfoot studs are strategically placed to facilitate those sudden changes in direction that unsettle defenders. When you need to explode past an opponent, the lightweight nature of the boot, approximately 190g, ensures there's no unnecessary drag.
The HybridTouch Upper provides a secure yet adaptive fit, ensuring your foot is locked in for powerful strikes and precise dribbling. The burrito tongue further enhances comfort and allows for a slightly wider fit, accommodating various foot shapes while maintaining a snug feel. Whether you're making a darting run down the wing, cutting in from midfield, or quickly shifting weight to beat a defender, the external heel counter keeps you balanced and in control.
During play, the choice of SL or Comfort sockliners allows you to fine-tune your experience. Opt for the SL for a more direct, lightweight feel, or switch to the Comfort sockliner for additional cushioning, beneficial during longer matches or for players seeking more impact absorption. These boots are optimized for firm ground natural grass pitches, where their stud configuration can deliver maximum traction and performance.
Choose Your Sockliner: Upon unboxing, you'll find two sockliners. The 'SL' (Super Light) sockliner offers a direct, minimalist feel ideal for maximizing speed. The 'Comfort' sockliner provides additional cushioning and impact absorption. Insert your preferred sockliner into each boot.
Lace Closure: Securely lace up the boots using the traditional lace closure system, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit that supports your foot without excessive pressure.
These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This includes most natural grass football fields. Using them on artificial turf (AG) or indoor surfaces (IC) may compromise performance, durability, and could void warranty.
Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the boots with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse gently. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Consider using a boot bag for protection during transport.
Soleplate Lacquer: Please note that the vibrant lacquer finish on the bottom of the Sprintframe 360 soleplate may wear off during play. This is a normal cosmetic occurrence and does not affect the performance, durability, or structural integrity of the product.
