Adidas Is the Most Innovative Football Brand of 2016

The Adidas Glitch is one of the most innovative soccer boots ever released.

With the end of the year in sight, we summarize up what brought us the year in terms of football boot brands. And after we already asked you what was the most innovative, worst and best football boot, respectively, we now ask you what was the most innovative football boot brand of the year.

Most Innovative Football Boot Brand of The Year

Here are some of the most innovative boots and technologies of the year - ranging from Adidas' laceless boots to Nike's Anti Clog technology.

2016 brought us three main innovations, two from Adidas (Laceless Adidas Ace PureControl, Adidas Glitch - football boot with interchangeable parts) and one from Nike (Ant-Clog technology). However, while Adidas' two big innovations made the headlines this year, Nike's Anti-Clog technology is likely the biggest improvement for football players as the last few weeks showed. Apart from Adidas and Nike, all other brands did not invent anything all-new, but nevertheless released some great boots such as the evoTOUCH (Puma), the Medusae (Umbro) and the Spotlight (Under Armour).
