Simply by mixing and matching their components of choice, each player can easily build and tune their boots.

Players such as Djibril Cissé (France and Liverpool FC), Jermain Defoe (England and Tottenham Hotspurs), Arjen Robben (The Netherlands and Chelsea FC) and Kevin Kuranyi (Germany and FC Schalke 04) will wear their personal configurations of the +F50 TUNIT at the 2006 FIFA World Cup™. Every player will be able to tune his own footwear. Choosing from a wide range of exciting uppers in bold colours, determining fit and comfort by selecting an ideal chassis and by perfectly adjusting their studs to the characteristics of the pitch. The +F50 TUNIT adapts to your own preferences. It’s a boot for all conditions, tailored to your very own personal style.
