Adidas Football Boots 2009 Range Preview - Adipure II and F50.9 Tunit

Once again Footy Boots is here to bring you up to date with the latest developments in the football boot market.

This time around it’s a heads up on what to expect from Adidas in the coming 12 months.

Adidas is looking to capitalise on the major interest that the Euro’s have sparked and continue their advance on the global football market. Germany’s quarter final win over Portugal won’t have done them any harm and they’re backing that up with some spanking new designs which are bound to cause a stir amongst players, watchers and geeks alike. Here’s what you can expect.

Adidas Predator Power Swerve

According to Adidas representatives, David Beckham will have a white/blue ClimaCool® Predator produced for him to wear while doing his stuff in the MLS with the Los Angeles Galaxy. This could be due to him wanting more of a flexible fit than his current synthetic leather after having had to quit k-leather products, more of which you can learn about via a previous Footy Boots article, ingeniously entitled: kangaroo leather football boot ban.

There will be 2 more additions to the Champions League edition Predator’s next season. It is an odd concept, but a White/Indigo/Rave Green colourway is due to be released at the beginning of the competition with a Black/Red colourway being released towards the latter stages of the tournament.

Adidas F50.9 TUNiT

The adidas F50.9 will debut in a black/electric yellow colourway and have a new design for the three stripes. At last, Adidas have finally given a player worthy of his own line a colourway. The man in question is Argentina and Barcelona’s Lionel Messi. However, plans for an Adidas / Messi razor were abandoned when someone remembered that he’s not old enough to shave. A new Champions League F50.9 will be produced in a colourway to match its counterpart, the Predator Power Swerve’s. Check back here at Footy Boots soon for a look at the specially produced F50’s currently being worn in Austria and Switzerland.

Suggested Release Date: October 15, 2008

Adidas adiPURE II

The new adiPURE II are very reminiscent of the current model with just a few minor touch ups. Expect another great classic boot from adidas. These are the current versions being worn at Euro 2008.

Suggested Release Date: December 2008

Adidas F50.9 TUNiT

With the recent release of the Adidas F50.8 TUNIT some of you readers may be surprised to find that the next generation of TUNITS are already surfacing on forums across the internet.

The Adidas F50.9 TUNIT is the latest model of the F50 series and can be seen here at Footy-Boots, thanks to this information from our readers.

This unique football boot is the fourth generation of the F50 concept and features both outstanding modularity and the innovative and transparent “AllesKlar” (”All Clear”) element. Top players from all over the world will be sporting the new F50.9 TUNiT football boot on the pitch, we believe, from November 2008.

F50 TUNIT Technology

Players can choose from several uppers, two different chassis, two different insoles and three stud systems.

The F50 TUNIT allows each player to customize the football boot according to both personal preferences and weather conditions. This includes choosing the colour of the upper. Prevailing weather conditions on the day of play also affect the choice of upper.

Once again Adidas have continued their tradition of keeping the TUNITs rolling off of the production line with a new design for the upper only a year after the release of the previous model the Adidas F50.8.
