Adidas develops 630g football kit
27/08/2013
“As with all tech it is not just about what we can do to improve technique,” an adidas spokesman told sportstexiles.com. “Adidas realises that the competitive edge on the field can make the difference, getting there one second earlier or having that split second of extra pace really does make the difference.”
A vest-like top layer will only carry the name and numbering. Beneath this players will wear a base layer that is integrated into the miCoach Elite team [electronic monitoring] system.
The boots will weigh just 99g each, the company’s lightest football boots to date, and feature a framed composite skin construction and a lightweight outsole.
