Designed for the agile footballer who demands maximum speed and quick directional changes on soft ground, the adidas F50 Elite SG redefines acceleration and ball control. Its key innovation lies in a lightweight build and specialized soleplate, though players should note that the soleplate's lacquer finish may wear off during play, a normal cosmetic occurrence that does not affect performance.
Sprintframe 360 Soleplate: Engineered for explosive acceleration and agile cuts, featuring rounded midfoot studs that support rapid changes in direction and maintain stability.
Fibertouch Upper: A superlight and streamlined upper material that provides targeted support and a comfortable fit without unnecessary bulk, enhancing the barefoot feel.
Sprintweb 3D Texturing: Strategically placed 3D texture across the upper, extending to the toe, to enhance ball contact for superior grip and precision during high-speed dribbling and striking.
Compression Fit Tunnel Tongue: A new lacing system that wraps the foot with strategically reinforced areas, ensuring superior lockdown and a snug, irritation-minimizing fit thanks to ergonomic ankle padding.
Dual Sockliner System: Comes with two interchangeable sockliners: an SL (Super Light) option for pure speed performance and a Comfort option for additional impact absorption and cushioning.
Soft Ground (SG) Configuration: Specifically designed with an optimal stud pattern for maximum traction and grip on natural, soft, and wet grass pitches.
Recycled Materials: Constructed with at least 20% recycled content, contributing to adidas's efforts in reducing environmental impact.

The adidas F50 Elite SG is engineered for players whose game relies on blazing speed, sudden acceleration, and agile movements. On soft, natural grass pitches, the Sprintframe 360 soleplate with its rounded midfoot studs truly shines, allowing for explosive straight-line sprints and sharp, destabilizing cuts that leave defenders behind. Imagine bursting past an opponent with a quick change of pace or pivoting rapidly to create space for a shot – this is where the F50 Elite excels.
The Fibertouch upper contributes to a streamlined, lightweight feel, making the boot feel like a natural extension of your foot. Combined with the Sprintweb 3D texturing, it offers exceptional ball contact and control, even at full sprint. This means greater confidence when dribbling at high speeds, executing intricate passes, or striking the ball with precision. The texturing helps the ball 'stick' to your foot, enhancing touch and feel.
Players will appreciate the Compression Fit Tunnel Tongue for its ability to provide a secure, locked-in fit. This minimizes foot movement inside the boot, preventing distractions and enhancing stability during dynamic play. The option to switch between the SL sockliner for a featherlight sensation or the Comfort sockliner for extra cushioning allows players to fine-tune the boot's feel to their personal preference or match conditions. For example, on a particularly firm soft pitch, the Comfort sockliner might offer welcome additional impact absorption, while the SL sockliner is ideal for maximum responsiveness.
Lacing: Loosen the laces, insert your foot, and then tighten them evenly from the toe upwards using the Compression Fit Tunnel Tongue for a snug fit. Double-knot for security.
Sockliner Choice: Before first use, decide which sockliner best suits your needs. The SL (Super Light) sockliner offers maximum responsiveness, while the Comfort sockliner provides extra cushioning. Simply remove the installed sockliner and swap it for your preferred option.
Break-In: Like all new football boots, a short break-in period during training sessions is recommended to allow the boots to mold to your feet before competitive matches.
Pitch Type: These boots are designed exclusively for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are often wet or muddy. The conical and bladed stud configuration provides optimal penetration and grip in these conditions.
Avoid Firm Ground (FG) / Artificial Grass (AG): Using SG boots on harder surfaces like firm ground or artificial grass can damage the studs, cause discomfort, and void any warranty. Always check the pitch surface before play.
Sizing: Refer to the UK adult sizing. The specific variant is UK 7.5. These are a unisex adult design.
Cleaning After Use: Immediately after playing, wipe off excess mud and debris using a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes which can damage the upper material.
Stud Cleaning: Pay attention to cleaning between the studs to prevent mud buildup, which can affect traction and boot weight.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not force dry them with heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can cause the materials to crack or shrink.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using boot trees or crumpled newspaper inside to maintain their shape.
Lacquer Wear: Please note that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the soleplate may wear off during play. This is a normal cosmetic occurrence due to contact with the ground and does not affect the performance, durability, or structural integrity of the boot.
