...field, though, Adidas has scored with product innovation, and after all, it's the boots that boost the bottom line. In March the company launched the +F-50 Tunit, a soccer shoe that allows players to mix and match three different components--the main body, or upper; the insole; and the cleats, or studs--to adapt to different playing conditions.
