adidas drop the F50 Muller Raumdeuter signature boots in recognition of his 710 and counting matches for Bayern Munich. It’s the all-time appearance for the club, and is indeed an otherworldly feat. So beyond his football role as the ‘Space Invader,’ the F50 Raumdeuter is a celebration first and foremost of Thomas Muller’s football gifts and talents that made him one of the Bayer’s most successful players.
Quickness, besides from raw speed and athleticism, can also be manifested in foresight and instinct. Predicting the flow of play and being at the right place at the right (speed of thought) always put you one step ahead. Those are the attributes that Muller possessed to initiate that crucial run or pass. They make up the foundations of the relatively lengthy career he has now enjoyed.
As for the boot itself, the upper carries out in alternating shades of bright and light red a diamond pattern that unmistakably represents the outer shell of the Allianz Arena. Completing the Bayern Munich colours is the blue accent that is sprinkled by bits on the diamond pattern, comprise the midfoot compression tongue and the heel panel. And as if that is not enough to establish the Bayer connection, MIA SAN MIA proudly screams at the back of the heel.
Pressed against the white stripes, 25 Der Raumdeuter reads on to directly reference Thomas Muller. The repeating quotation also appears on the forefoot of the soleplate. Der Raumdeuter also appears on the top of the tongue.
