O’Shea playing out of his skin

IRELAND’S John O’Shea is one of a number of Premiership stars seen in action recently wearing the latest evolution of the adidas F50 boot.

Like its predecessor, F50+ features the revolutionary Fusion Frame system - one skin with three separate insoles that allow players to customise their boots to the exact feel and performance they want on the pitch.

Each insole has a unique performance characteristic and can be quickly and easily interchanged to adjust the weight, stability, flexibility and even comfort level of the boots. So, basically, it’s up to the player to decide what he/she needs from their boot - Lightweight: for maximum speed, quickness and flexibility, Professional: for optimal all round performance or Comfort: for ultimate stability and cushioning.

The adidas F-50 is available from all good sports stores from December 6 in soft and firm ground styles priced €150.
