adidas ACE 16.1 FG AG Solar Green Shock Pink Core Black The sole plate of the Adidas Ace GTI is the exact same one as used for the regular Adidas Ace 16.1 and the knitted Adidas Ace 16+ Primeknit football boots. Completely redesigned from the FG / AG alignment introduced by the Adidas Ace 15 cleats, it boasts a much more traditional layout, designed to offer traction and control. Albeit its still marketed for both firm ground (FG) and artificial grass (AG) surfaces, the Adidas Ace GTI 2016 boots' sole plate doesn't feature the second layer of studs which made the mixed design a success for the previous generation.
So it's time to put the Adidas Ace 16+ Pure Control under the magnifying glass. This cleat has received a lot of attention in the soccer community. One because it's a lace-less cleat and two because it has a knitted upper which is something you just don not see in today's cleats. Lace-less cleats aren not actually a new concept as they have been done before but we have never seen lace-less with a knitted upper.
With any lace-less shoe when you eliminate the aspects of laces, the very thing securing your feet in your shoes. You have to compensate for that by tightening certain parts of the upper that you normally wouldn not with a traditional cleat. If you are the type of player who needs a super secure fit then you just won not get that from the Adidas Ace 16+ Pure Control. There is lots of stiffness on the lateral and medial part of the cleat as well which makes suggest there is a lots of extra layers needed in the cleat to ensure foot security. ADIDAS ACE 16+ PURE CONTROL FG AG BLACK GREEN Meanwhile, Handy says that high performance sports sneakers and retro shoes aren't quite as different as one might think: A lot of the shoes in the Originals range were high end performance items when they were first released 鈥?the Superstar was a high performance basketball shoe, Stan Smith was the first leather tennis shoe 鈥?they were all built with a clear purpose in mind and were designed for the highest performing athlete of that time. This boot is the same.
To increased stability and durability, Adidas has added a thin synthetic layer on top of the knitted upper, a technique already used by both Adidas and Nike for their knitted football boots. Just like with the Adidas Ace 16+ Primeknit boots, also set for a release next year, the laceless Adidas Ace GTI boots boast a larger area of Primeknit compared to earlier releases, going almost all the way to the heel.
In a new interview with Hypebeast, Handy explained how he went from designing retro and lifestyle footwear in the adidas Originals division to working on one of the brands most innovative products yet. I wouldn't say its a boot designed by me per se. The boot was driven out of player insight.
