The Champions Code is the name for the Champions League themed boot pack from Adidas. The fact that Benzema and Gnabry have shown off the boots in training suggests that we will see more players wearing them on the pitch ahead of their official launch on March 16th. A similarly coloured version of the Predator Edge and Copa Sense will complete the vibrant looking pack.
The Champions Code X Speedflow has a "Purple Rush/Silver Metallic/Mint Rush" paint job, to give the colours their official names. Aside from the eye-catching tones used on the boots, there is nothing new here in terms of tech, they are the same as the standard version.
