Their main focus was speed, and the boot's synthetic version weighs 165g (or 5.8oz)[2] with the leather version weighing 175g (or 6.0oz). The launch colourways were: Black/Sun, Sun/Black/Gold and Chameleon Purple, and each colorway came in a Leather and Synthetic version.[3] There is no more TUNiT system on this boot which was used in the past 5 models, although there is a hybrid version which is
similar to the TUNiT system. Diego Forlan first debuted the boots on field in the Europa League Final against Fulham, where he scored both Atletico's goals in their 2-1 AET win[citation needed]. During the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, players such as Argentina's Lionel Messi, USA's Jozy Altidore, Spain's David Villa, Netherlands's Arjen Robben,and England's Jermain Defoe wore the F50 Adizero.[4] Lionel Messi, in particular, was sporting his own Chameleon Purple version; other adiZero wearers wore the Sun Yellow/Black or the Black/Sun Yellow colourways[citation needed]. For the 2010-11 season, Adidas are set to release a Metallic Gold/Black/White colourway for Lionel Messi. F50 adiZero Prime:
Slated as a tier upgrade for the standard F50 adiZero series, rather than a second edition, the F50 adiZero Primes weigh in at 145g (or 5.1 oz), making them the lightest boots in the market. Initial launch colourways include Warning/Black/White and Black/White/Electricity. They were officially released on the 1st February 2011.The F50 adiZero 2 were also released on the 1st of February in the same colorways as the F50 primes. The difference between both cleats in color is that the adiZero 2 do not have a colored band running on the bottom of the cleat. Also the internal TPU bands used as protection from cleating is also a different color than the adiZero 2. The TPU bands in both colorways for the cleats are in silver in the adiZero 2 while the primes in the colorway Warning/Black/White are orange. The F50 football boots are designed especially for more speed oriented players, such as strikers and wingers. Famous wearers include:
