Ultra-rare Adidas F50 Adizero match worn and dual hand-signed by Real Madrid and Wales legend Gareth Bale.
- Worn during the UEFA Euro 2016 Qualification campaign for the Wales national team.
- Specifically worn in Wales’ 2–1 victory over Cyprus on 13 October 2014, a crucial result that kept Wales top of Group B.
- Bale delivered a decisive performance, including the assist for the match-winning goal with a trademark flick to put Hal Robson-Kanu through on goal.
- Specially custom made to measure in Germany by Adidas’ Athlete Services division — a completely bespoke, one-off construction sharing zero similarities with the retail F50 Adizero model sold to the public.
- Player Features & Personalisation:
- Each boot features Bale’s name and squad number ‘bale 11’ detailed to the medial side.
- Bale’s daughter’s name ‘alba’ personalised to the lateral side of each upper.
- Wales national flags detailed at the heel of both boots.
- Both boots are beautifully hand signed by Bale across the forefoot, with large, clear, unrushed signatures.
- Elite-Level Structural Modifications:
- Built using the Sprint Skin upper material from the previous generation F50 model (late 2012), incorporating the same Sprint Web technology Bale insisted Adidas continue producing exclusively for him until 2018 — five years after public discontinuation.
- Sprint Web support caging visible internally on both lateral & medial sides, with Sprint Web patterning around the forefoot externally.
- Features the 2010 Sprintframe outsole, with Adidas modifying the lateral external heel counter by shaving it down on each boot and fitting a synthetic “dummy” layer to conceal the modification.
- The tongue on each boot is stitched to the medial upper with three precision stitches, preventing slippage during match use.
- Custom thicker, softer heel padding lined with premium white suede for enhanced comfort.
- Left boot includes an additional internal padding layer beneath the insole in the heel area.
- Historical Significance:
- A genuinely elite, museum-grade pair from one of the most explosive attacking players of the modern era.
- Match worn in a pivotal Euro 2016 qualifier, contributing directly to Wales’ journey toward their historic first major tournament appearance since 1958.
- Dual-signed, fully bespoke, and constructed to Bale’s exact, unmatched specifications — extraordinarily rare in the global memorabilia market.
- Authenticity fully guaranteed with the BC Boots UK Certification Package.
