Inspired by the iconic f50 TUNiT colorway worn by top players at the 2006 World Cup, the adidas X506 F50+ remake has generated significant discussion since its release. Feedback has been mixed, with many fans questioning the decision to revive this particular style. This review takes an up-close look at the boot’s design, fit, and on-field performance.
Design and Tongue Cover Feature
The most talked-about element is the tongue cover. It mimics the original style with a large cutout that covers the entire lacing system. The cover folds completely down using a Velcro system, allowing you to adjust your laces and reattach it. While it makes the boot appear somewhat clumsy, the tongue cover effectively shields the laces, increases the strike zone, and stays firmly in place during wear.
Fit, Weight, and On-Foot Feel
The X506 F50+ runs true to size, with plenty of room through the forefoot. adidas crafted the upper to match the 2006 original 1:1. The boot weighs 7.6 ounces, making it very light and giving a genuine speed boot sensation.
Inside, the synthetic material does not grip socks well, leading to some movement during wear. The forefoot lacks any texture or grip, so the boot feels slick on the ball, especially in wet conditions. The tongue cover sits about half an inch off the front surface of the foot, which significantly reduces natural ball feel, though it delivers a nostalgic, old-school sensation when worn.
Outsole and Performance
Underfoot, the boot features a modern Sprintframe outsole that offers comfortable traction on both artificial turf and natural grass. This outsole, carried over from the X19 line, helps reduce overall weight and highlights how far adidas has advanced in speed boot development.
Overall Verdict
The adidas X506 F50+ remake is a solid addition to the adidas Limited Collection and successfully evokes a nostalgic feel. However, it is not a boot that justifies a large investment if you are only curious. The experience of owning them is more exciting than wearing them on a regular basis. Many sizes remain available, likely because adidas released the boot with minimal PR detail or imagery, suggesting limited promotional effort.
