adidas have unveiled their latest mid-00s drop, taking it back to 2006 with the launch of the Taekwondo F50.

After rumours of a release earlier last month, the F50.6 Tunit is the latest sporting silhouette to hit the streets, following on from the Predator's Megaride mash-up.

Taking on the Tunit's iconic, sleek aesthetic, the upper partners with the Taekwondo's slim sole. It claps back at Nike's T90 SP III in style, grabbing attention in the same way the boots did nearly 20 years ago, with three vibrant colourways — 'Royal Blue', 'Purple Rush', and 'Bright Yellow' contrasted with metallic detailing.

Once worn by the likes of Lionel Messi and Arjen Robben, the Taekwondo-Tunit fusion has breathed new life into a look of the past — launched as 'Boots Only Summer' takes the game by storm. It joins a growing list of sneakers inspired by Y2K boots, with re-release designs often taking on the classic glossy finishes and streamlined builds that made football boots of this period iconic.

The adidas Taekwondo F50 is available now online and via select retailers.
