Messi adorns lightest ever boot

Argentine star Lionel Messi will be the first player to wear the lightest football boot ever produced by adidas, the F50 adiZero.

The revolutionary new boot weighs an astonishing 165 grams and features industry-leading technologies, making it the lightest and fastest adidas football boot ever made. "I am amazed at how light the new F50 is; I can barely feel them on my feet. Speed on the pitch is a really important part of my game and wearing the world's lightest boot will hopefully make me faster and enhance my performance during the most important games of the year," said the Fifa World Player of the Year who will wear the distinctive chameleon purple, white and electricity colourway exclusively during the World Cup.
