Speed. Legacy. Pure F50 DNA. adidas has raided the vault and come back swinging with the adizero Archive Pack – a glorious throwback to the blistering pace and iconic styling of the 2010 World Cup. Reviving the unmistakable colourways of that unforgettable summer in South Africa, the Archive Pack brings two legends back to life, each retooled with modern tech to meet today’s game.
For the purists, the F50 Elite Leather FG 2010 Edition in "Core Black/Yellow/Utility Yellow" hits like a wave of nostalgia. A one-to-one recreation of the leather F50 adizero that took pitches by storm 14 years ago, this drop is all about fusing classic feel with cutting-edge performance. The premium leather upper stays true to its roots – complete with forefoot stitching and that game-changing Taperlace system, which still delivers a clean strike zone like it did in 2010.
But don’t be fooled by the vintage looks – underneath is pure 2025. The latest Sprintframe 360 soleplate brings chevron and rounded studs together for multidirectional grip that matches the modern pace of the game. A low-profile external heel counter locks you in for razor-sharp movement. Speed with swagger, comfort with class – this is the heritage reissue we didn’t know we needed.
Then there’s the head-turner: the F50 Elite FG 2010 Edition in "Yellow/Core Black/Core Black". Wrapped in that electric yellow colourway that lit up the World Cup, this version blends F50’s fastest-ever past with its fastest-ever present. The Fibertouch upper is featherlight but packs targeted support, delivering a stripped-back feel that lets you ghost past defenders with minimal distraction.
Grip is handled by Sprintweb 3D texturing, running from toe to midfoot to keep control at high speeds. And for a fit that locks in like a second skin, the Compression Fit Tunnel Tongue brings reinforced lockdown and next-level comfort, backed by ergonomic ankle padding. Two sockliners in the box let you choose your weapon: SL for speed or Comfort for shock absorption. It’s an F50 for every kind of baller.
Both boots channel the same energy that had the world watching in 2010 – a time when the likes of Messi, Villa, and Robben left defenders grasping at air in these very colourways. With the adizero Archive Pack, adidas isn’t just celebrating the past – it’s weaponising it for the present.
