Adidas F50.8 Tunit match worn by legendary Dutch winger, Arjen Robben.
Worn during the 2008 Emirates Cup pre-season tournament whilst playing for Real Madrid.
Personalised with the name and date of birth of Robben’s son, reading “Luka 22-04-08” across the lace-cover of each boot.
Built using the internal chassis construction of the earlier F50.6 and F50.7 Tunit models, a configuration never made available to the public on the retail F50.8.
This pair show heavy, match-used wear, including visible damage around the toe box area of the right boot, providing clear evidence of professional use.

- Player Features & Construction Details:

Custom Hybrid Build:
• Constructed with the chassis system of the F50.6 & F50.7 models, differing from the public F50.8 retail version.
• Designed for optimal traction and comfort based on Robben’s personal preference and foot shape.
• Fitted with the Tunit FG soleplate, widely used by professionals during this generation for its modular performance system.
Personalisation:
• Each boot features detailing of “Luka 22-04-08”, marking the name & birth date of Robben’s first child.
• A rare example of personal emotional detail incorporated into a professional pair of match worn boots.

- Match History (Emirates Cup):

2nd August 2008 — Real Madrid 2-1 Hamburg, Emirates Stadium.
3rd August 2008 — Arsenal 1-0 Real Madrid, Emirates Stadium.

- Historical & Sporting Context:

The 2008/09 season was Robben’s final campaign with Real Madrid before transferring to Bayern Munich.
During this period, Robben remained one of Europe’s most electrifying wingers — renowned for his pace, direct dribbling, and trademark left-footed finishes.
The Adidas F50.8 Tunit series represented a transitional design in the F50 lineage, making this hybrid player-spec pair even more unique.
These boots date from the height of Robben’s time at Real Madrid, worn by one of football’s most iconic attacking players.

- Collector & Investment Value:

Extremely rare match worn Adidas F50.8 Tunit from one of the greatest wingers in modern football history.
Hybrid player-exclusive construction incorporating elements from multiple Tunit generations — a feature found only on professional issue boots.
Deeply personal player customisation, referencing Robben’s son’s birth, adds further uniqueness and provenance.
Match-used condition with visible wear and damage consistent with high-level competition.
