adidas Launch Second Signature F50 For Son Heung-Min

After receiving his inaugural signature boot back in 2023, Son Heung-Min now receives his second as adidas sort him out with the F50 TAEGEUK7. The boot draws inspiration from the Korean flag, whilst also paying tribute to his time in England since joining Spurs.

Son Heung-Min lines up for the business end of the season with a brand-new signature look to lace up. Adidas have sorted the Spurs star out with a second signature boot, re-imagining the F50 silo to embody the player's personality and journey and create TAEGEUK7. Inspired by the Korean flag, the boot fashions a "White/Black/Bright Red" colourway whilst modelling Son's preferred laceless fit which he wears throughout the season. 

Pulling on the colours of the South Korea flag, the F50 is painted in a majority-white base – displayed across the models synthetic Sprintweb technology upper. Red and blue's adorn the soleplate as well along the lower upper, designed with a gradient-style pattern, fading from one colour to another. The esteemed F50 branding that is usually found on the sides of the boot are replaced by 'Son' on the lateral side, and 'Son' in Korean on the medial – paying homage to his heritage in Korea as well as the home he has created in England since joining Tottenham Hotspur. The forward's name is also repeatedly printed in Korean within the gradient design along the lower upper. The heel is dipped in deep blue, whilst stamped with classic adidas three stripe branding – the usual.

Once again, all the cutting-edge technology features on the F50, built for speed and acceleration. The Sprintframe 360 soleplate makes a return, a specif design crafted to optimise stability and traction in order to help multidirectional acceleration. A Hybridtouch upper, made of synthetic materials, brigns that lightweight feel to the boot to allow that necessary comfort during high speeds, perfect for the pacey wingers like Son. 

Watch out to see the Spurs and South Korea star lace these up any day now...
