Ahead of the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, the guys over at Adidas released a boot like no other.
The F50.6 Tunit would give players the opportunity to personalise their boot configuration down to preference in order to gain optimal performance no matter what the playing surface.
The boots consisted of a upper, sole, chassis and studs that were completely modular and interchangeable.
The iconic dark blue and yellow trim colourway was just one of several released by Adidas at the time, and now rumours suggest that they will return to the market in late 2019 or 2020, according to Footy Headlines.
