Sock Hybrid Soccer Cleats

Adidas Released a Surprising Knitted Football Shoe and Sock Combo

— March 10, 2014 — Fashion
Iconic sportswear brand Adidas has released the first ever knitted football shoe and sock in one.

The Primeknit FS shoe and sock hybrid will come in black, white and red with traditional cleats on the sole. This is the world's only knitted cleat and sock hybrid, and the second-skin feel will give players a more comfortable fit. Unlike traditional soccer cleats, the Primeknit FS will improve contact between the foot and the ball; without laces, fabric or any other bulk, players will feel more connected to the ball and have more control and stability with it.

This limited edition shoe will soon be made available to the public, and there is a lot of anticipation amongst its debut. With this release, Adidas is setting the bar high for competitors and the future of dependable soccer cleats.
