adidas has introduced a new version of its X silo, the adidas X Ghosted, designed to deliver an entirely new level of speed. The boot combines a striking visual aesthetic with performance innovations including a translucent upper, a vacuum fit experience, and a flexible carbon plate.
Design and Visual Impact
The adidas X Ghosted is visually striking, with the boot’s design serving as a key marketing tool. A new single-layer translucent upper called Mirageskin enables endless design possibilities, promising a series of standout releases in the coming months.
Mirageskin Upper
The Mirageskin material is a single layer of high-performance fabric layered over a wire framework, creating a seamless upper that provides lightweight stability and support. Its ghost-like, semi-see-through aesthetic visually represents the sensation of speed. Details include three-stripe placement inspired by the wings of the peregrine falcon, the fastest creature on earth.
Vacuum Fit Technology
The X Ghosted features a vacuum fit experience – a first for adidas. When worn, players feel air rapidly sucked out of the boot, resulting in a super snug fit that hugs the contours of the foot. This proximity is intended to support explosive movements. Practical effectiveness on the pitch remains to be seen, but the concept is intriguing.
Carbitex Speedframe and Soleplate
Underfoot, adidas introduces the Carbitex Speedframe – a dynamic carbon plate developed through an open-source approach. It harnesses the extreme power and performance of carbon fiber in a flexible form, making the X Ghosted the first football boot available at scale with a dynamic carbon plate. The stud configuration has also been refined, and a new toe spring allows on-demand linear bursts while supporting explosive agile movement.
Potential Concerns
Two immediate concerns have been raised regarding the X Ghosted. First, the carbon fiber in the soleplate may generate heat on hot turf pitches during summer months. Second, the vacuum fit, while promising a close feel, could cause blisters if the material is not soft enough – rubbing may occur in areas where the upper contacts the foot. On-field testing will determine how these factors play out.
