After a nine-year break, adidas’ legendary F50 boots made a stunning comeback last year with the ‘Fast Reborn’ edition. Now, the iconic speed boot returns again – this time as the F50 ‘Radiant Blaze’, a vibrant new chapter that pays tribute to both the boot’s heritage and one of football’s greatest icons: Lionel Messi.
Inspired by the shimmering ‘Chameleon’ boots Messi wore at the 2010 World Cup, the Radiant Blaze boots burst with a dazzling mix of iridescent purple and neon green. This eye-catching colourway isn’t just for show – it signals the explosive pace and sharp control these boots deliver on the pitch.
Crafted for speed demons, the Radiant Blaze features the Sprintframe 360 soleplate – engineered to offer rock-solid traction and stability as you slice through defences. The boot’s sleek external heel counter adds a stylish edge while locking down your foot for quick cuts and lightning-fast 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.
