The colorway meanwhile is inspired by the boots he wore when he scored one of his best goals of all-time, dribbling past several opponents from the halfway line in a Copa del Rey match against Getafe in 2007.

In terms of tech, this is the first-ever colorway of the next-gen Adidas X Speedflow that is being released. The Speedflow is the successor of the Adidas X Ghosted.
