Jan 25, 2016, by Chris
The second generation of the Adidas Ace Kangaroo Leather Football Boots introduces a bold design for Adidas' Control Boot, released in late January 2016.
Adidas revealed the next-generation Adidas Ace 2016 Soccer Boots in early 2016 after the German brand launched the first-ever Adidas Ace in May 2015. And even though the first generation was just launched less than one year ago, the Adidas Ace 16.1 2016 Leather Boots feature a totally new upper and sole plate design.
Next-Gen Adidas Ace 16.1 Leather Solar Green / Shock Pink / Black
This is the next-generation Adidas Ace 2016 Kangaroo Leather Boot.
The Adidas Ace 16.1 2016 Leather Football Boot features a super soft Kangaroo leather in the forefoot area, made for comfort and control. And while the next-gen Nike Tiempo Legend 6 Boots and the last generation of the now-discontinued Adidas 11pro Boots come with an all-new skeleton in the upper to remove the classical stitching, the next-gen Adidas Ace 2016 Soccer Boots comes with the traditional stitching of leather boots.
For increased stability, lightweight and less water uptake, the rear area of the next-gen Adidas Ace 2016 Kangaroo Leather Cleats is made from a leather-like synthetic material.
Apart from the Kangaroo leather upper, the Adidas Ace Leather 2016 Boots offer the same features as the synthetic version of the Adidas Ace 16.1 Boots.
Ditching the previous construction of the sole plate altogether, the next-generation Solar Green Next-Generation Adidas Ace 16.1 Leather Cleat features 11 rounded studs, an arch for more stability in the midfoot area as well as an external heel counter.
Design-wise, the green, pink and black Adidas Ace 16.1 Kangaroo Leather Cleat is anything but classic. Combining the main color 'Solar Green' with big Three Stripes fading from pink to black, the launch colorway of the next generation of the Adidas Ace Cleat is designed to stand out.
The Solar Green / Shock Pink / Black next-gen Adidas Ace 2016 Soccer Boots retail at the same price as the synthetic version of the Adidas Ace 16.1 (210 Euro, 200 USD, 150 GBP) and is available from February 2016.
