As part of the new Anodized Purple/Electricity adiZero collection, adidas have released a new adidas F50 adiZero in the increasingly divisive colour-way. Take a look at our exclusive images of the new Anodized Purple adiZero soccer shoes and share your thoughts on the most talked about football boot of the moment!
Never afraid to push the boundaries of football boot design, adidas have released one of their most uniquely coloured boots to date! The new Anodized Purple/Electricity adiZero football boots have already established themselves as a love/hate soccer shoe. The adiZero is certainly closing out the 2010/11 season in dramatic style. But who will be brave enough to wear them?
The Anodized Purple/Electricity F50 adiZero football boots are unique in their colour combinations, choosing a mixture of three extremely bright colours! The stand-out purple and 'electric' colours used on the main upper and adidas 3-stripes are combined with a new adidas colour – 'adidas Infrared'. The colour revolution is showing no signs of slowing down with the release of adidas' latest speed boot!
Unlike the Anodized Purple/Electricity adiZero Prime, the standard F50 adiZero features a more predominantly purple upper with no 'infrared' TPU bottom frame featuring on the boot. The distinguishing 'infrared' colour continues to run through the front graphic, continuing its way up the boots tongue and heel.
It's hard to know what professionals will wear the new Anodized Purple/Electricity adiZero's. Likely candidates include Barcelona trio, Dani Alves, David Villa and Lionel Messi.
The Champions League final is on the horizon for Barcelona and adidas will surely make attempts to utilise the exposure of their new speed boots on the biggest stage of all! With Messi having worn the original Warning colour-way since the boots launch, individual rights for the new colour may be reserved for the worlds best player come May 28th!
By now, most adiZero fans will be aware of the tech changes adidas have made to the new adiZero football boots. Adidas knew that they didn't have to change much from the original. Aside from visual changes, one of the main improvements made to the new adiZero boots is the new and improved Sprint Skin upper.
The single layer synthetic material returns to improve the boots second skin feel, and has been upgraded to be thinner and lighter than the previous model and also features an engineered grain for enhanced ball control and touch. Perhaps the most obvious benefit is the zero water uptake - meaning this cleat doesn't get heavy even in wet conditions.
This new adidas F50 adizero retains the last from the previous adizero, unique to F50 series and differing from the Predator and adiPure lasts with a wider yet flatter footbed. This means the studs can be positioned closer to the outside of the sole, giving greater stability, and improving movement, traction and pressure distribution.
The FG plate features the triangular Traxion studs bespoke to the adizero range, placed at strategic positions across the sole unit that aids pressure distribution and are designed to give improved directional grip.
Attached to the heel counter is the outsole construction, dubbed Sprint Frame, the one-piece material takes away the need for a standard insole which reduces the weight yet keeps the boot strong and supported. Simply? Less layers, less materials, less weight!
The new Anodized Purple/Electricity adidas F50 adiZero football boots will retail worldwide for around £140 GBP/ $200 USD / €170 EURO. They will be available to pre-order this week prior to their official release on June 1st.
