Give em the boot

Since their invention, football boots have been evolving into various shapes and sizes in an effort to give the footballer every possible advantage. Adidas is a brand heavily involved in football footwear and the F50 adiZero is its latest creation. These football boots have been designed especially for this year's world cup and they only weigh 165 grams. The spikes have been designed by experts and arranged to enhance a player's speed.

During the World Cup, legendary footballer from Argentina Lionel Messi will be wearing a pair of purple and white F50 adiZero boots. "The F50 is so unbelievably light that it doesn't feel like I'm wearing a pair of boots. And for me, speed on the pitch is so important. I believe the F50 will help me run faster this year," Messi was quoted online.
