adidas Junior F50 Messi Elite Firm Ground Soccer Cleats - El Ultimo Tango Pack (SP26)

Every young player has a favorite. For a lot of them it's Messi, and this is the cleat that puts them in his line. The junior F50 Messi is Messi's signature F50, adidas's speed shoe cut down for a growing foot. Your kid doesn't want a look-alike. They want the real Messi signature.

This is the Elite build of the adidas F50. The Hybridtouch+ upper gives a clean, soft touch, with a Halocage+ TPU skin placed where a player pushes off for quick cuts. The F50 Speedsystem plate runs full-length with bladed studs, for grip and drive when they plant and sprint on dry grass. At 5.5 oz (156 g) in the junior size, there's barely anything on their foot. The El Ultimo Tango colorway runs Ivory with Semi Blue Burst and Icey Blue.

For a developing player on firm grass, this is a lot of cleat scaled to fit. Want more? Browse the adidas F50 speed cleats collection.

Care and Maintenance

• Air-dry after every match; stuff with newspaper to hold shape and pull moisture out
• Keep them off direct heat, sunlight, and the dryer, which warp the plate and dry out the upper
• Brush off dried grass and dirt before storing
• The Hybridtouch+ synthetic upper needs only a soft brush and a damp wipe, no leather conditioner
• Store somewhere cool and dry, not a hot car or a closed bag

FAQs about the F50 Messi Elite

Is this a real Messi cleat or just a Messi look?

It's the real F50 Messi, the Elite build of the F50 speed line Messi wears, in the El Ultimo Tango colorway and junior sizing.

What surface are these built for?

Firm ground (FG), meaning dry natural grass. The bladed studs suit firm pitches, not turf or soft, muddy fields.

My kid is growing fast. Should I size up?

They run true to size in a regular junior fit. Between sizes or mid-growth-spurt, a half size up buys room while keeping the hold secure.
