What Does Wirtz Wear?

Dean Ariola

Talking about Florian Wirtz boots currently involves the adidas F50. He specifically wears the regular laced Elite as opposed to the +, which has additional Lightstrike Pro cushioning. With the standard laced Elite, he enjoys the benefits of the synthetic Fibertouch upper and its Sprintweb 3D texture and the TPU-based Sprintframe 360 outsole.

Wirtz became a huge signing for Liverpool for the 2025/26 season. And for the first few months of the campaign, he partnered the iconic red shirt with an equally iconic boot colourway in the form of the Radiant Blaze F50. It was based on Messi’s popular F50 Chameleon, only this time the paintjob had more volt accent which detailed the streaking chevron pattern on the forefoot for a speedy, active look.

Recognising Wirtz’s promise as part of the new generation of German stars, and being coached by a legendary adidas player, adidas had given him the privilege of wearing a pair of special edition of F50s that recreated the yellow with black look of the silo way back the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The pack included a black leather version, but Wirtz’s boots took on the yellow one that had the modern technologies of the F50.

What other boots had Wirtz worn?

Reaching the F50 line has been a natural progression for Wirtz. That is because he has actually preferred to wear the speed boot line from adidas since the start of his senior career. He wore the X 19 and the subsequent X generations (Ghosted, Speedflow, Speedportal and Crazyfast). Up until the X Speedportal, he normally went for the laceless version. One of the special edition boots he wore at the beginning of his budding career was the Prada X Crazyfast.

Who is Florian Wirtz?

Florian Wirtz made a name for himself first in the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen. On 18 May 2020, he became Leverkusen’s youngest player in the league, at the age of 17 years and 15 days, when he started in an away match against Werder Bremen. On 6 June, Wirtz became the youngest goalscorer in Bundesliga history at that time at the age of 17 years and 34 days, scoring his first goal for Leverkusen in the 89th minute of their 4–2 home loss against Bayern Munich. Ultimately, it was his significant contribution to Leverkusen’s charge to Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal titles in 2023/2024 that established his name in football. Liverpool then paid around £100 million to make him a red beginning the 2025/26 season.

No doubt goals and playmaking are what make football fans stand on their feet. And Florian Wirtz has an abundance of skills in terms of creativity and chance creation. He’s primarily a No. 10, but his versatility allows him to be deployed as an inverted wide playmaker and even a false 9. Regardless of the position, there’s no doubt that his offensive play is on an elite level, which bodes well for his club and country.
