adidas F50i ClimaCool Football Boots

We're starting the New Year off with even more boots! Here is the next of three new adidas F50i soccer shoes colourways - the Premium ClimaCool Cyan/Silver edition. This next addition to the F50i speed series is part of an exclusive colour run set and the SoccerBible is your first stop to see full and exclusive images, along with all the technical specs you need to know before you splash your cash on a new pair of football boots.

Available to pre-order now these boots come supplied as a Pro Lite pack, costing around £125 GBP. We already know loads about the new adidas F50i football boots and these latest additions continue the trend for great-fitting, sleek and lightweight football boots from adidas.

ClimaCool is a unique adidas advancement in boot technology, that players including David Beckham are taking advantage of. ClimaCool football boots are designed to conduct the slow moving air surrounding the boots, through the holes to cool the feet during exercise. The ClimaCool upper of the adidas F50i football boots is slightly thicker than the regular synthetic F50i upper, as it has both the ClimaCool material and comfortable material and mesh lining inside. However, the material is softer and performs much more like a leather upper.

This edition also retains the vented area on the in-step. Designed for for free-flowing air but reinforced with a harder plastic for ball contact - similar to the pass pad as seen on control football boots.

The upper features the dual tone look that adidas have employed on a couple of past F50i's as well as a more cloudy or smoky Alles-Klaar heel counter section. Shown here with the Competition chassis, the semi-transparent section features a tint of the Cyan colour to

The latest ClimaCool adidas F50i football boots continue to remove the lace cover, unlike other models in the F50i range. Instead, adidas have taken the ClimaCool technology from their running shoes to include an open lace design with an extremely comfortable and soft material tongue.

Those of you clued up enough will have already worked out this boot is one third of adidas' latest F50i Premium pack. This is the follow up ultra-limited pack that adidas have released for the F50i, with the first set finally being released as individual boots due to public demand! No surprises this time that adidas have kept the fans happy and released the boots seperately as well. So you can choose to buy all three, or the individual synthetic, ClimaCool or leather versions to match your taste and style!

The two standout features of the new adidas F50i football boots upper, is the print application on the instep of the boot and the new lace-cover. The print application is positioned to assist ball control by increasing friction, and the ClimaCool features a generious kicking area. The perforated upper allows for natural foot breathabililty, and we reckon adidas have done a good job with the visual design of the boot.

This new colourway is produced in a limited run, so if you're looking for something different to your team mates you should have plenty of options now. We reckon this version would be a great addition to your boot reportoire, although the ClimaCool option may not be suitable for frosty winter pitches.

With these boots being a limited release, we're definitely excited to see if any players choose to sport this boot, as it is definitely an excellent addition to the F50i family.

Speed Football Boots - adidas F50i Comfort Pack - Silver/Black/Red - 03/09/09

The adidas F50i TUNiT speed football boots are the latest range to release a new colourway. Clearly not a boot to be left behind, the new Silver/Black/Red adidas F50i football boots are a flash and particularly unique design.

The new adidas F50i upper is available in a comfort pack, which equips you for all playing conditions. And the eagle-eyed boot spotters amongst you may have seen these boots before, as although they aren't released until the 1st October they have already been worn on pitch by Lukas Podolski.

The adidas F50 range prides itself on giving users the ability to "tune" their game, so the F50i TUNiT component system provides players with the complete season round, any condition set up. Players benefit from an interchangeable upper, chassis and re-designed studs colour coded for each surface, to create a boot that will suit your game and style.

This new distinctive silver/red colourway gives the impression that the wearer may have hit a few balls in their time! And the adidas F50i is a great boot for striking the ball, as it is made from a unique new material developed by adidas called Sprint Skin. A single-layer synthetic which has strength and durability, but is thin and lightweight for ball touch and feel.

The upper of the adidas F50i football boots is both stitched and thermal bonded together to improve durability and performance. And this new technique has allowed the lace cover to be designed in such a way that it blends into the upper, a feature that we know is popular amongst the pros following our interview with Jermain Defoe.

The design of this unique upper isn't the first time we've seen adidas incorporate a distinctive lattice pattern, as adidas have also used it for the popular Macaw Green adidas F50i football boots.

The style of these new adidas football boots is aided by the Alles-Klar section of the heel and soleplate, which has been reduced for the adidas F50i TUNiT range. And the new design allows the three adidas stripes to wrap around the boot and blend into the F50 logo that is present on all the bases of the uppers.

The new silver/black/red adidas F50i comfort pack is ideal for the season ahead, with a comfort chassis, insoles and stud packs included for soft, firm and hard ground conditions and pitches. Really you're getting three boots for the price of one, making the £125 GBP price tag not sound so bad. You can expect these boots to hit the UK shelves from 1st October, and they are currently available for pre-order.

Due to popular demand we've had a closer look at the Macaw Green adidas F50i football boots, available in the adidas F50i Premium Pack.

We've got some more exclusive shots of the lush new adidas F50i football boots, that have been so popular with football boots fans.

The Green upper is made from adidas SprintSkin material, an engineered single-layer synthetic which has strength and durability, but is thin and lightweight for ball touch and feel.

These football boots are completely customisable with the adidas F50i TUNiT components, so you can wear the Macaw Green uppers on all surfaces, and of course all these components are available in the unique adidas F50i Premium Pack.

Unfortunately, there is still no word from adidas whether the Green adidas F50i football boots will be sold separately from the Premium Pack. But of course, if that information changes the SoccerBible will be first to let you know!
