No Boost? Next-Gen Adidas Ace 17+ PureControl AG Boots Leaked?
Is Adidas is set to release an AG sole plate for the third-gen Adidas Ace 17+ PureControl boots?
Adidas to Launch Ace 17+ PureControl AG Boots?
Here are the next-gen Adidas Ace 17+ PureControl 2 boots with the AG sole plate (via @drcoolmouse).
The AG version of the Adidas Ace 17+ PureControl boots comes with two major differences compared to the standard FG model to provide optimal traction, durability and comfort on artificial grass surfaces. First of all, the cleat logically comes with Adidas' pitch-proven AG sole plate (used for various different cleats, including the Adidas Ace 17.1), while the cleat interestingly only comes with a Boost insole but does not feature a Boost midsole.
But is that just a leak that will never be released? No, but there is one major problem if you want to get them. The Next-Gen Adidas Ace 17+ PureControl 2 boots paint job as AG version (Artificial Grass - designed for hard, dry, natural surfaces) is only available in China, with all other regions of the world missing out. The main reason is that in China football is almost only played on AG surfaces, which is also the reason that the AG version of the Adidas X PureChaos is also only available there.

Would you also like to you get your hands on the Artificial Grass Next-Gen Adidas Ace 17+ PureControl boot even if you are not in China? Let us also know in the comments below if you think that it makes sense to release they just in China, whereas the Adidas Ace 17.1 boot is available as AG version worldwide.

Adidas Teams Twinned by Product Code & Design
Update - Sunday, June 7, 2026: As spotted Indonesian jersey experts @Jerseyforum, Adidas teams with the same design also share the product. In particular, they do not have the usual Team + Shirt Type Name (e.g. FCB A 26 JSY), but are called Custom Licensed Jersey (CULIC26 JSY).
Templates are not as common as they were in the past, but smaller Adidas teams still do not have custom designs always. In the outgoing 25-26 season, teams such as Düsseldorf, Al Ahly, and Sparta Praha all used the same Locker Room design with custom colors.
