This image shows the striking Solar Green Adidas Ace PureControl 2016 football boot.
The cutting-edge Adidas Ace 16+ PureControl football cleats will be launched in a Solar Green / Shock Pink / Core Black colorway in mid-January. Contrary to the respective Adidas Ace 16.1 boot paint job, the laceless Adidas Ace 2016 PureControl boots come without the Adidas Ace 16's trademark gradient inside the 3 Stripes, which are instead solid black.
Instead, the 'Shock Pink' color so overwhelmingly present in the lower tier models of this Adidas Ace 16 boot colorway is only used for the pull tab at the front of the heightened collar.
The Adidas Ace 16.1 PureControl boots are one of the first laceless football boots, and the first ever to combine the laceless design with a knitted upper. Designed to fit different types of feet sizes and shapes, the Adidas Ace 16+ PureControl soccer boots boast an extended collar and extra stabilization through the construction around and between the lateral three stripes.
Other than that, the Solar Green Adidas Ace PureControl 2016 football boots bring all the other features introduced by the next generation of the Adidas Ace boots, such as the all-new sole plate.
Released on January 18, 2016, the all-new Solar Green Adidas Ace 16+ PureControl football boots launch colorway will be available at selected retailers for $300 (300 €, £220).
