If you've ever watched soccer, those dudes can look like ballerinas prancing over the field, moving so quickly that they're a blur, and the Adidas F50 Adizero will make them feel even lighter. Touted as the lightest soccer shoes ever made, it weighs nearly half what the average shoe weighs.
How does the Adidas F50 Adizero achieve this? Well, while all soccer shoes are equipped with a stiff insole board to stabilize them, this one doesn't. Instead it boasts a 'sprint frame,' a molded poly-amide outsole.
