ADIDAS F30I MESSI FG

Adidas F30i Messi FG

New without box

The Upper:

• The F30i is one of the most popular "second tier" models from their time, featuring an identical synthetic upper to the top model Tunit
• A lightweight synthetic material was used that featured a see through plastic element near the outside and insteps 
• The F50i switched from a velcro lace cover to a foldover lace cover, similar to the Mercurials from the time, but the opening comes from the side
  

The Sole Plate:

• The main difference, and what made these boots popular was the sole plate
• A bladed TRX FG sole plate was used, for the most part identical to the previous F50+ model

Notes and Comments:

• If you recall, Messi had a heavily modified F50's that used this bladed TRX sole plate, instead of the new Tunit design with the chassis and screw in studs
• The F30 model was actually lighter than the F50 because it didn't have the same heavy sole plate as the tunit
• While the tunit was a unique design, the F30 ended up featuring the same upper and a bladed TRX sole plate that was preferred by many
