Adidas X15.1 Yellow FG
New with tags
The Upper:
- This is the synthetic upper, which featured a newly designed "X Skin" upper
- This new upper featured dozens of tiny little grooves or dots that provided some texture throughout the upper and helped with the grip
- With Nike introducing the dynamic fit "sock" collars, Adidas rolled out their "TechFit" technology, which featured a thinner and softer collar material to help with comfort and to provide a sock like fit
The Sole Plate:
- A one piece hard plastic material was used, with half a dozen grooves throughout the boot to make the sole plate a bit more flexible
- A triangular 3-D stud design was used, very similar to the Vapor XI model
- There were also several smaller studs used to help with traction near the mid foot area
Notes and Comments:
- The X15.1 was the newly renovated F50 model and had some similar features
- Overall the upper had a great new technology that helped with the grip, while still staying lightweight
- Parts of the boots were a bit thicker throughout, but overall the new sock liner material provided a more secure and comfortable fit
