As he sets his sights on the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, Mo Salah will step onto the continental stage with something special on his feet. adidas have officially unveiled the F50 Elite x Salah, marking the Egyptian King’s first-ever signature colourway on the reborn F50 silo — and it lands with all the gravitas you’d expect.
Arriving in a clean yet commanding “Ftwr White/Golden Beige/Thermal Gold Met” colourway, the new adidas x Salah F50 balances speed-driven minimalism with deep cultural storytelling. A crisp white base lays the foundation, while copper-toned metallic accents shimmer throughout, giving the boot a premium edge that feels fitting for one of the game’s modern greats.
But it’s in the details where this one really speaks. A bespoke heel graphic pays tribute to Salah’s heritage, while the upper is adorned with ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs — a nod not just to Mo’s roots, but to the deep history that follows him every time he steps onto the pitch. In the launch content, those same hieroglyphs are carved into limestone, a simple yet powerful visual that underlines the weight of legacy behind the design.
This release marks Salah’s third-ever signature boot with adidas, following on from the X Speedflow ‘Prepare For Battle’ and the X Crazyfast ‘Egyptian Nights’, both of which leaned heavily into bold aesthetics and personal narrative. There was also November’s historic ‘Two Horizons’ F50 — the first time the iconic F50 name appeared in Arabic — but that was a wider story. This one? This one is unmistakably Salah’s.
Fast, fearless and forged in heritage, the adidas F50 Elite x Salah is built for the biggest moments — and there’s no bigger stage right now than AFCON. Expect to see the Egyptian King lace these up as Egypt kick off their campaign against Zimbabwe on 22 December. History on his feet, nation on his shoulders
