When a package arrived this week at SoccerBible HQ, kindly sent to us from our pals at adidas, we had half an idea about what was inside. Leo Messi’s signature f50 adizero boots have stolen the spotlight in recent weeks. So here they are one more time, presented in an insanely cool aluminium case.

Gareth Bale has scored some of the best goals of his career wearing the yellow/black/green adidas f50 adizero, but this Sunday the Tottenham superstar will change his stripes for the new blue/white/pink f50 as one of the most heated derby fixtures in English football takes centre stage.

To help show off his new clobber, adidas have released a super sleek video showcasing their f50 superstar in super-cool, slow-mo style. The lengthy ten minute video, divided into nine different chapters, explores the greatest assets of Messi's game.

Just a number of years ago the F50 range was in big trouble. The lead athlete (who happened to be the best player on the planet!) wouldn't wear the top-end versions, and in the speed race with the Mercurial, F50 was losing badly

With new boots and colourways everywhere you look on-pitch around Europe, it was time for Boot Spotting to return from a brief absence due to popular demand. It's a weekly fix for SoccerBible fans, so rest assured the original home of boot spotting is here to stay!

Whilst every brand strives for greater acceleration and traction, how their respective designers go about delivering this performance is quite remarkably different...

After Karim Benzema's recent performance in his very own adizero miCoach ad, adidas have ventured across the continent to give one of the adizero's most famous faces a thirty second slot in a unique video with a twist! Check out what happens when Arjen Robben runs into a little trouble, with himself.

Former Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka may be seeing out his days in the Chinese Super League, but that hasn't kept him out of the eye's of our SoccerBible bootspotting scouts! The Frenchman, who is currently playing for Shanghai Shenhua, caught our attention as he turned out to a Shenhua training session wearing a familiar looking pair of miadidas f50 miCoach football boots.

When adidas launched the adizero miCoach football boots, they were completely revolutionary in that they allowed footballers of all levels to compare performance stats. Even more uniquely, they provided the opportunity to see how the top pro's perform, the first player to have his game analysed is Barcelona's energetic full-back Dani Alves...
