in order to combine the comfort and responsiveness of playing barefoot with the protection of a traditionally designed performance shoe, adidas has launched ‘samba primeknit’, the world’s first knitted football boot. the limited edition boots are the first to have an upper that is entirely knitted from heel-to-toe, providing a bespoke second-skin fit that retains the strength of a conventional pair of cleats. high levels of flexibility and comfort are provided via the one-piece knitted upper; the yarns used to construct ‘primeknit’ provide stability and strength equal to conventional boots. each yarn receives a high precision coating that guarantees water resistance even while playing on a wet pitch.
