, by Chris
- Rodrygo Debuts Climacool+ Prototype: Real Madrid's Rodrygo was seen wearing an all-new Adidas Climacool+ prototype football kit, showcasing Adidas's next evolution in performance and cooling innovation in Germany.
- Technology's Prior Use in Tennis: The Climacool+ technology, featuring 3D embossed nodes for enhanced airflow, was previously introduced at Wimbledon 2026 and worn by tennis players like Alexander Zverev, indicating it's not an entirely new concept for Adidas.
- Innovative Cooling Features: The kit's fabric features heavy 3D embossed nodes on high-heat zones like the chest and shoulders, creating a physical gap between skin and fabric to dramatically enhance airflow and sweat evaporation, confirming it as Adidas's latest flagship cooling solution for football.
Update - Monday, September 28, 2026: The futuristic Adidas Climacool+ football kit prototype recently previewed on Real Madrid's Rodrygo is not an entirely unreleased concept, as Adidas has already put the identical technology into competitive action across tennis. First introduced at Wimbledon 2026 and worn by players including Alexander Zverev, the Climacool+ construction features heavy 3D embossed nodes across high-heat zones like the chest and shoulders.
These body-mapped, raised structures create a physical gap between the athlete's skin and the fabric to dramatically enhance airflow and sweat evaporation, confirming that the striking texture spotted on the football prototype is the three-stripe brand's latest flagship cooling solution being prepared for football.

Real Madrid and Brazil star Rodrygo has been spotted wearing an all-new Adidas Climacool+ prototype jersey in Adidas' Home of Innovation in Germany. The Brazilian forward showcased what appears to be the brand's next major evolution in football kit performance and cooling innovation.
Next-Gen Adidas Climacool+ Technology Worn by Rodrygo
The Adidas Climacool+ prototype shirt is predominantly white and features a striking turquoise-to-black gradient fade towards the lower back hem. The upper back prominently displays a bold "°CLIMACOOL +" wordmark above a stylized number 10. What is, however, most remarkable is not the design but the fabric.
The front of the jersey reveals heavy 3D embossed nodes across the upper chest and collarbone areas, an engineered structure engineered to lift the fabric off the skin and maximize airflow in high-sweat zones. The back has a knitted texture similar to the one seen on Nike's Aero-Fit kits.
Having signed with Adidas in late 2025 after a long-term stint with Nike, Rodrygo is taking center stage as one of the primary faces for the German brand's future performance gear. Adidas has been steadily expanding its Climacool+ platform across multiple categories, developing advanced moisture-wicking and cooling systems specifically tuned for peak competition in extreme heat and humidity.
The prototype worn by Rodrygo gives a clear indication of where the brand's authentic match-wear technology is heading for upcoming seasons, especially from 2028 and the Euro/Olympics 2028.
