Jul 12, 2020, by Pat
Update: A set of pictures of the completely new Adidas X Ghosted.1 2020 prototype boots has been leaked (thanks to Kevin Nguyen). They are the first to show off the carbon fiber plate and all the other details of Adidas' 2020-21 speed silo.
The highest quality pictures yet of the upcoming next-gen Adidas X boots surfaced just under an hour ago via @football_boots4.
The new pictures shows the SG version of the laced variant of the next-gen X, also known as Adidas X Ghosted.1. Slated for a release next month, the next generation of the Adidas X will not only adopt a new naming scheme but also bring a number of differences compared to the current gen.
Also worth noting is that the pictures show a player-exclusive all-black version of the boots that will not be available to buy. There will however be a mostly black colorway released as part of the 'Darkmotion' pack.
adidas X Ghosted.1 - Features
- Carbon fiber speedframe: ultra lightweight construct with revolutionary carbon fiber insert in the forefoot allows for more efficient power transmission when accelerating and sprinting, providing a real performance benefit. New stud configuration is optimized for acceleration.
- Minimalistic collar: taking away all that's not needed. The minimalistic low-cut collar provides maximum freedom of movement around the ankle.
- Fluroskin: lightweight material composite that molds around the foot like a second skin. The thin material comes with a revolutionary semi-translucent optic and allows for direct ball touch,
- Faster branding: inspired by the wings of the peregrine falcon in attack mode . The branding features a fade from precision to blur – there one second and gone the next.
- Sprint spike silhouette: no need to get ready you can just go. The newly engineered last with a slight toe spring puts you in a sprinter stance.
- 3d molded heel: 2 cushion inserts provide comfort and lockdown to prevent hell slippage. A new innovative slit in the middle of the heel allivates pressuresure on the achilles tendon.
- Laced vacuum fit: new tongue material provides easier step in while the laced construction allows for personalised vacuum fit.

No More Nike: Adidas Croatia 2026 Training Kits Revealed
Following their switch from Nike to Adidas, Croatia's new training kit set for 2026 have been unveiled in the latest training camp for youth teams' goalkeepers.
However from what we've seen, both of the new jerseys are simply from Adidas Tiro 26 League template range, using default black and grey color choices. These are very likely just temporary options for the mean time, until the actual designs with probably bespoke colorways are officially released.
