Few players have seen the game like Lionel Messi: scanning spaces before they exist, turning the impossible into the inevitable.
To celebrate that unrivaled awareness, adidas has unveiled the latest entry in its signature line: the F50. ‘Vis10n’.
The boots arrive in a bold royal blue base, enlivened with fluid Blue Burst graphics and finished with three eye-catching solar yellow stripes on the toe.
Flip them over and a yellow sole fades to white through an elegant gradient: a design that pays homage to the speed, agility and lightness that defined Messi’s game.
On the technological side, they are designed to offer comfort and acceleration. The flexible HybridTouch upper offers a leather-like feel, combined with a woven “burrito” tongue for an easier fit. Underneath, the Sprintframe 360 outsole is designed for sharp movements and quick feet on dry turf.
Messi himself has already worn the boots for the first time.
He was first seen wearing them in an Argentina training session, and wasted no time in wearing them: he scored two goals in a 3-0 win against Venezuela in the World Cup qualifiers, naming the ‘Vis10n’ in the form of a registered trademark.
