Adidas is taking us back to 2010 in the best way possible. That’s right, the legendary F50 Adizero football boots that once ruled the World Cup stage are making a comeback. And no, this isn’t just nostalgia talking—this is a full-blown, limited-edition reboot dropping May 6, 2025.
Fifteen years after they first turned heads, the F50 Adizero boots are back—and they’re coming in two glorious editions: one with a sleek synthetic upper and the other wrapped in classic leather. Whichever you choose, you're stepping into football history with a modern twist.

Let’s geek out for a second. The original F50 Adizero boots were revolutionary—super lightweight (we’re talking under 165 grams), packed with that game-changing SprintSkin material that balanced featherlight speed with solid control. For players who wanted to fly, these boots were the real deal.

Fast forward to 2025, and adidas is bringing that same iconic upper design back but with a twist: a modern F50 soleplate that brings today’s performance tech to a classic silhouette. It’s like getting a retro sports car with a brand-new engine under the hood.
And the colourways? Chef’s kiss. The leather version is a slick black and yellow combo, just like the OG design that fans went wild for back in the day. The upper is pure throwback, while the updated soleplate means you won’t be sacrificing any modern performance on the pitch.

These aren’t mass-market releases either—they’re limited edition, so once they’re gone, they’re really gone. Whether you were rocking these in 2010 or just want to flex some retro heat in your next match, this drop is your chance.

bootsOnce a force to be reckoned with on the pitch, Tasha’s love for football spans over a decade—until her playing career was cut short by the classic knee injury story—a setback that shifted her focus but never dulled her love for the sport. She previously played for Carlisle City and Stanwix Ladies before swapping her boots for a whistle. Now an FA-qualified referee, she spends her time officiating for Newcastle United’s academy as well as your typical Sunday league, channelling her inner Anthony Taylor on weekends (but without the VAR controversies). Since joining the team in 2023, Tasha has crowned herself the resident expert on all things sport and fashion. Whether she's ranking questionable kits or offering insight into trending trainers, her observations are sharp, insightful, and on point. She's got a knack for finding the perfect blend of performance and style—just don’t ask her to pick a favourite Premier League kit of the season unless you're ready for a heated debate.
