    Dynamism is at the heart of the collection, which features three new additions to the vault and is inspired by the refraction of light during light speed experiments. The boots are available in solar red, solar yellow and shock blue colourways. The X16+ Purechaos is designed for the fastest players in the world, coming in as the manufacturer’s lightest and most aerodynamic shoe. Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale is just one of the stars set to race through defences in the solar red boot during 2016/17. It features a state-of-the-art Purecut Sock System which covers the boot laces to give all players the ultimate fit.

    The Ace 16+ Purecontrol is one of the most innovative boots on the market. The laceless boot features a Primeknit upper and Non Stop Grip (NSG) technology, meaning France superstar Paul Pogba will possess unrivalled close control in them next season. The final addition is an homage to football’s greatest player. The Messi 16+ Pureagility has been given the shock blue treatment. Its Sprintframe has been designed to provide stability and traction in the lightest possible weight.

    We had the pleasure of trying out the Ace 16+ Purecontrol (pictured with Al Wahda’s Sebastian Tagliabue) at the adidas activation zone at Dubai Sports World, which you can experience until August 27 as the company seeks out to find the fastest footballer in the Middle East. The lightweight boots helped us glide across the five-a-side pitch without ever feeling flimsy, supreme comfort being provided by the sock-like fit. Our confidence also grew exponentially as our touch became ever-more assured in them. Pogba’s place is not under threat, but you can feel the difference the construction makes to your play. All three boots are not cheap, yet quality comes at a price.

    #FirstNeverFollows is the hashtag for the range and if you are serious about taking your game to the next level, they are worth buying.

    We rate it: 9 out of 10: You’ll look  great and play even better in them.
