adidas Men's X Ghosted.1 Sg Football Shoe

Product Information

The way adidas has executed the use of carbon fibre is extremely clever and is hands down the best implementation of the material in football boots, ever.

The studs themselves are also very solid and I especially like the inclusion of vertical studs along with the more triangular studs because it means you get support and grip when cutting and jutting across the pitch. Selecting the correct sole plate for the surface you are playing on is crucial, not only for the performance and longevity of your football boots, but also to avoid the risk of injury. It features a lightweight construction and a low-cut design for improved mobility and a close feel to the ball.Customs duties and/or VAT and any other associated fees may be payable upon receipt depending on your country and rates.

Instead we seem to have an upper that seemed to ignore adi’s previous history of great synthetic uppers. Apart from the astonishing weight of the boot, the soleplate made the boot stand out among the crowd. It was quite nice to absolutely smash the ball in these, since the thin upper gives you instant feedback, but again, I like having at least a little bit of cushioning.

Their sprint spike-style raised forefoot and springy carbon-fibre insert combine for explosive propulsion. At the very least, adidas have given themselves a chance to do so and hopefully we will see them turn the X Ghosted into a world beater.Again, part of this wish should probably be attributed to my history with leather boots, but I think the point should still stand.
