Mumbai – adidas has launched the limited-edition Lionel Messi F50 Triunfo Dorado pack. Engineered for game-changing speed, the boots will be worn by Messi as he looks to add more accolades to his glittering career this summer.

For the first time ever, the boots available for retail include some of the exact, unique design specifications Leo chooses for his own on-pitch footwear, enabling fans to get closer than ever to the feeling of emulating the GOAT on the pitch.

. The closure of the ‘burrito’ style tongue is adapted to Leo’s preferred fit and has been engineered with knit material for maximum comfort.

.  The Hybrid Touch upper updates the recently released inline F50 with a synthetic suede and foil material with soft haptic designed for vamp stability and comfort when touching the ball at speed.

.  Consistent with the other existing F50 releases, the boots sit on a Sprintframe 360 soleplate, specifically designed to provide optimised stability and traction. The heel counter on the soleplate works harmoniously with a stud configuration of rounded and bladed studs for foot steadiness at push-off – all working in tandem to help facilitate multidirectional speed and acceleration.

Following the return of the F50 franchise earlier this month, the visual design of the Triunfo Dorado is inspired by one of the franchise’s most iconic boots – the F50 Prime. The Prime was originally released in season 2014/15, a season in which Leo won the League, Cup and UEFA Champions LeagueTM treble while breaking the all-time record for goals scored in the Spanish top division (43 in 38 appearances – and 21 assists.)
