adidas Football adds to its ongoing X series of boots for the sport and the latest addition is the X GHOSTED Boot that, similar to the rest of the capsule, is made with technical updates for speed. The X GHOSTED boot is made from new materials informed with new techniques to ensure lightweight elements that feels fast and looks like it too.
The 'Translucent Mirageskin' material boasts layering over a wire structure that makes up the entire upper. This is slightly clear for aesthetic purposes and features overlaying of the brand's Three Stripes branding made to look like peregrine falcon wings, which is the world's fastest creature. The footbed is inspired by track running spikes with the contribution of the 'Spring Construct.'
