Suarez Trains in Next Generation F50 adiZero TRX

With the next generation of adiZero expected to drop in December, it is no surprise that we’ve spotted a player training in what we believe to be a blacked out version of the much anticipated speed boot. While Messi tested a blackout version of the boot earlier this year, Luis Suarez made himself the second athlete who is thought to be testing adidas’ next speed boot release.

Weighing in at 5.8 ounces the next generation adiZero is expected to build off of the success it’s predecessor has enjoyed. It is no surprise that Suarez, one of the main endorsers of adidas’ speed boot has been spotted in a black out, and we expect that in the following weeks more players will follow suit.

Specs wise, the latest adiZero will feature many of the features we have come to expect including adidas’ Sprint Frame and Sprint Skin. As with the adiZero miCoach adiZero III (we are tentatively going to be calling it that) will also be miCoach compatible, meaning that you will be able to track your stats on the pitch and during training. The Sprint Web has been altered as it now has a new 3D texture that is meant to aid control and touch when dribbling at high speed.

However, Suarez is training in the leather version of adidas’ upcoming speed boot release. This is identifiable by the stitching on the upper, and it will be smooth on the synthetic version of the boot. It is anticipated that the whole section from the mid foot to the toe of the boot will be leather. This is a change from what we have on the current adiZero, where only a small section from the toe is leather, while the rest of the boot is synthetic. A move which we think could prove to be popular.

While adidas have penned down a December release for the new adiZero in their catalogues, one or two sources have informed us that adidas intend on bringing forward the release date of the boot to November, something we will definitely be keeping our eye on. What do you make of the new F50 adiZero TRX?

    looks exciting. speaking of f50s, i have a question. see, for the past year or two i’ve grown very accustomed to playing barefoot, and don’t wear boots unless i absolutely have to. now, i have t90 laser iv’s, and whenever i wear them, it feels quite awkward. the touch when running and striking the ball especially feels quite strange. so what boots do you think give the best “barefoot” feel? thanks in advance.

      the nike mercurial vapor viii feel close to nothing.

    • Ricardo

      You should look into the Japan Made Mizuno Morelia UL, or the Japan Made Mizuno Morelia II. Both offer the best barefoot feel possible on a football boot.

    • Kevin

      The pele trinity have a nice barefoot feeling to them. Puma v1.06 were the closest to wearing nothing in my opinion.

      • Stormy

        lol you guys gave me 4 different boots. any solid opinions on one boot? i’d love to try all those but i don’t have the cash on me

        • Kevin Parks

          seriously I have played with all those shoes except for the UL morelia and the puma v1.06 are the closest to barefoot, not to mention by far the least expensive out of those!

          • Ed

            Where can you even get v1.06′s anymore?
            I’d recommend the vapor viii’s. They’re light, thin, and soft

        • BiH

          well if you were to ask zlatan he would tell you vapor vii’s for sure! they’ve got a great touch and the boot has a really close snug fit. The only thing i’d say is, try the boot on before if you’re ordering online because the mango colorway, clash, and seaweed tend to fit differently due to the different upper material

          • Stormy

            well i had some vapor vii, but they felt kinda funny when shooting. but they were nice for touch and running. is that fixed in the new vapors? and yeah i love zlatan, i’d like vapors haha

        • BiH

          i personally play and train in the nike CTR Maestri II’s but i have tried out the nike vapor viii and they’re great for shooting and the touch is good.

    • Tom

      Which league allows you to play bare foot and do your feet have special cleats growing under them for traction? Seriously I want to know, this intrigues me. Hasn’t this risen curiosity from any of you other muppets?

    go with all leather boots like tiempo or leather f50′s. I mercurials do have a leathery feel too.

  3. vin

  4. Pat

    I thought Salomon Kalou was the 2nd one to test the new Adizeros…could be wrong though
