The custom Adidas X Karim Benzema 2022 Ballon d'Or soccer cleat features the same visual design as the boots Adidas presented. However, there is an important difference on the tech side.
Benzema's custom boots appear to be exactly the same as the X Speedflow tech-wise
Karim Benzema's Adidas X 2022 Ballon d'Or football boots are based on the last-gen Adidas X Speedflow.1 and not on the Adidas X Speedportal.1. This can be seen in the heel counter and the upper.
Both boots are not available to buy
Indeed, Karim Benzema has refused to wear the Adidas X Speedportal since ever they were released. In the 22-23 season, he wore the Adidas X Speedflow.1 "Champions Code" edition, just as he did in the successful end of the 21-22 campaign.
What do you think of Adidas presenting different boots than those actually worn by Benzema? Comment below.
