Adidas Partners with Lamine Yamal
Adidas has debuted its inaugural signature boot for the young Spanish soccer prodigy, Lamine Yamal. The limited-edition F50 LY304 marks an extraordinary year for Lamine, highlighting milestones from his high school graduation to his ascent in European football with his participation in UEFA EURO 2024TM.
Design and Personal Touch
The boot, designed with Lamine’s input, showcases the vibrant personality and skills that earned him the title of Europe’s best player under 21 this year. Featuring pink as the dominant color, chosen by Lamine, the boot replaces the traditional F50 logo with ‘304’, the final digits of his hometown’s postcode, in gold—honoring the community that has supported his journey from a promising young player to a celebrated talent.
Speaking about his collaboration with adidas, Lamine Yamal said, “This year has been like a dream for me, and working with adidas on my first signature boot has been super cool. When they invited me to work with the designers and be part of creating it, I was so excited to see how it all comes together and to add my personal touch. Pink is one of my favorite colors and I’m a player who loves to bring flair to the pitch, so it was important to me that the boots stand out and of course, we made sure to represent the 304 in the best way. I can’t wait to wear them on the field.”
Special Launch Event
To commemorate the launch, Adidas organized a special photoshoot featuring Lamine in vivid pink graduation robes, symbolizing his outstanding achievements in 2024.
Sam Handy, General Manager of Football at adidas, said, ”When we talk about players who have their own signature adidas boot, we’re looking at just a handful of names who have reached that level of ability and popularity. The fact Lamine has one before even turning 18 is a huge testament to his phenomenal talent and how he has captured the hearts of fans around the world in 2024. It was vital to us that Lamine was involved in the design process from the beginning, and the team really enjoyed working with him to create a boot that both looks great and exudes his unique personality.”
