May 10, 2018, by Pat
Update: Liverpool's Mohamed Salah has again trained in the all-new laceless next-gen Adidas X 18+ Purespeed football boots. The completely new speed boots are set for a release in the coming days and will be worn by the Egyptian striker in the 2018 Champions League final.
Liverpool striker and Golden Boot hopeful Mohamed Salah has become the latest player to give the next-gen Adidas X 18+ boots a test run in training ahead of their scheduled drop in late May / early June.
Currently sporting the green and blue Adidas X 17+ Purespeed boots from the 'Deadly Strike' pack on his quest to become the Premier League top goalscorer this season, Salah laced up in a pair of blackout Adidas X 18+ boots in training this week.
A totally different design and approach compared tot he current gen, the next-gen Adidas X 18+ cleats feature a ultra-lightweight Speedmesh upper in the front area and a ultra-thin synthetic material in the rear area for lightweight and lockdown.
Likened to classic Adidas Adizero boots, the X 18+ also gets rid of the X17's collar and introduces a redesigned Sprintframe sole plate.
Having qualified for the tournament with Egypt, Mo Salah will wear the 'Energy Mode' Adidas X 18+ cleats at the World Cup in Russia this June and July.
