adidas Football has been at the forefront of innovation. As we covered in our adidas Kickin’ It feature, the Three Stripes and its rich history on the pitch continues to evolve into the 21st century.
Last year, the brand unveiled its groundbreaking X GHOSTED that pushed speed, agility, and control to a new level. Although the brand raised the bar, its latest innovation exceeded expectations. The X SPEEDFLOW is engineered to push speed even further on the pitch.
The boot is built with a Carbitex Speedframe, which is an evolved outsole that has been created to support the foundation of fast play – moments of linear speed – allowing players to cover the greatest amount of straight-line distance in the least amount of time. The boot also features an engineered lightweight Primeknit upper that provides an adaptive fit, designed for intuitive players that need to react quickly. The Primeknit upper is the lightest-to-date on a football boot, designed to adapt to the player’s foot. This combines with a new Primeknit spiked collar for a further enhanced lockdown fit for zero distraction.
“X GHOSTED was a major breakthrough for us in helping players unlock new levels of linear speed,” Ben Herath, VP Design, adidas Football said. “But through our research when developing the next iteration of adidas’ fastest football boot, the team were led by this idea of merging the physical and mental. So, we’ve combined the very best in adidas performance technology with a deep understanding of the speed needs of the modern game – X SPEEDFLOW supports instant speed, radical agility, and instinct with the aim of creating the space for players to reach a true state of ‘flow.’”
The adidas X SPEEDFLOW is available on adidas.com now and select retailers on July 20 for $275. The boot will be worn by some of adidas’ most elite players such as Mohamed Salah, Lindsey Horan, Heung-Min Son, Karim Benzema, and Vivianne Miedema.
