Lots of eyes will be on Lionel Messi arguably the world’s best player during the 2010 south africa world cup and Adidas have just announced that Messi will be wearing the Adidas F50 AdiZeros football boots . They are claimed to be some of the lightest ever boots ever made weighing just 164grams for a boot sized 8.

The boots are made of  polymer which is a german invented material named polyurethane, as it is a single layer there is no need for extra padding which means that the player can turn faster than in other boots, there is an issue that this could mean less protection for players and more prone to injuries.

Other players who will be sporting these football boots are  Jermain Defoe for England and David Villa for Spain.  We think that with some of the world class players sporting these they may become very popular indeed.

They aren’t available in the UK as of yet but as soon as they are we will feature them on our blog. We’ve attached a video which shows you the advert for them that Adidas have created for these F50 boots.
