Adidas F50 Tunit X-32 World Cup Germany 2006 HG
New with box - features HG studs
The Upper:
- Adidas developed a material known as the "AdiHex" microfiber synthetic, which was supposed to be lightweight and durable
- This iconic F50 model was produced in 2008 and famously used a three part system, the upper, the chassis, and the studs
- This model and specifically, this colorway, was recently remade by Adidas, this is the original tunit model
The Sole Plate:
- The Tunit model became famous for introducing an interchangeable sole plate
- The full set included 3 sets of studs, FG, SG, and HG studs that could be changed with the Tunit system to adapt to any surface
Notes and Comments:
- The tunit lasted from around 2006 to the start of 2010, before the Adizero was introduced
- The three part system (upper, chassis, and studs) was an innovative approach, but all of the working parts ended up making the boots a bit heavier than Adidas would have liked, especially for a speed boot
