Adidas Ace Face James Rodríguez Returns to Adidas Ace
Update: James Rodriguez has returned to the Adidas Ace Primeknit Boots in yesterday's training session ahead of Real Madrid's match against Las Palmas on Sunday. He wore a non-modified version of the boots.
Will he ever wear the laceless boots? Real Madrid superstar James Rodríguez today again laced up in the Solar Yellow Adidas X 15.1 after he was already spotted wearing a remarkable muddy pair of the boots on Monday.

Close-up with the boots worn by James Rodríguez today.
James Rodríguez, who never laced up in the laceless Adidas Ace PureControl Boots but opted for the knitted laces version of the control boot, wore a non-modified version of the synthetic Adidas X 15.1 Football Boots. However, while he wore extremely muddy boots on Monday, his boots were perfectly cleaned this time.
What Does That Mean For Adidas
It was Adidas' plan that James Rodríguez would headline the second-gen Adidas Ace Boots.
It's actually very bad for the Three Stripes. As it was intended that James Rodriguez would wear the laceless Adidas Ace PureControl Soccer Boots, Adidas created a lot of content featuring James Rodriguez and the revolutionary boots. And while it was already not good that James Rodriguez opted for the not revolutionary laces edition of the cleats, it is much more serious for the Three Stripes that he is now wearing another boot silo.
Do you think that Adidas allows James Rodriguez to switch permanently to the Adidas X? Let us know in the comments below and watch out for James Rodriguez boots in the coming days.
