Collaborating closely with adidas’ design team, Yamal infused the F50 LY304 with his personality, choosing pink—one of his favorite colors—as the boot’s standout hue. Bold yet refined details highlight his roots, with the number ‘304’ in gold replacing the traditional F50 branding to honor the final digits of his hometown postcode. The symbolic inclusion pays homage to the community that supported his transformation from a promising young player into one of the brightest stars on the global stage.
“This year has been like a dream for me,” said Yamal, reflecting on his collaboration. “When adidas invited me to help design the boots, I knew I wanted them to stand out. Pink brings energy, and adding ‘304’ was a must to represent where I come from. I’m so excited to wear them and show my personality on the pitch.”
The F50 LY304 is engineered for speed and precision, perfectly mirroring Yamal’s explosive style of play. Built for firm ground performance, the boot features a FIBERTOUCH upper, delivering lightweight agility, while an adidas PRIMEKNIT collar ensures optimal lockdown for intense sprints. Enhancing control at high speeds, the SPRINTWEB 3D texture keeps the ball close, while the SPRINTFRAME 360 outsole offers a responsive, spring-loaded feel for unmatched acceleration.
adidas marked the launch with an eye-catching photoshoot that captures the essence of Yamal’s breakout year. Dressed in vibrant pink graduation robes, the imagery symbolizes his passing of 2024 “with flying colors,” encapsulating his balance of youthful charm and professional excellence.
Sam Handy, General Manager of Football at adidas, emphasized the significance of this release. “Only a select few players earn their own signature boot, and the fact that Lamine has achieved this before turning 18 speaks volumes about his extraordinary talent and connection with fans worldwide. His input throughout the design process made this a truly personal and unique collaboration.”
The adidas F50 LY304 arrives on December 18th, with just 304 pairs available globally. Priced for exclusivity and engineered for elite performance, the boot can be purchased through select adidas retailers and online via adidas Football.
