The next chapter in adidas’s speed boot lineup is nearly here. The X18 series introduces a fresh design philosophy, turning the silhouette into a dedicated “speed” silo ahead of major summer tournaments. Players have already been spotted training in blacked-out prototypes, and anticipation is building for an official launch.
Key Design Changes
The X18 series splits into two main models with distinct features:
X18+ (Laceless)
The flagship version abandons laces entirely, a clear shift from the previous 17+ generation. It introduces a new skeletalweave upper for a lightweight, adaptive fit. A claw collar wraps around the ankle to deliver a modern lockdown system.
X18.1 (Laced)
The .1 model uses a Speedmesh upper paired with a speed closure lacing system for a customizable fit. Underneath, both boots share a Speedframe outsole, a nod to classic adidas speed boots like the f50 adiZero.
Player Sightings and Hype
In recent weeks, high-profile athletes have been seen training in camouflage test pairs. Names include Gareth Bale, N’Golo Kanté, Álvaro Morata, Lucas Moura, and Aymeric Laporte. While no confirmed release date has been announced, speculation suggests the boots will debut during the Champions League final.
What to Expect Next
More details are likely to emerge in the coming days as adidas ramps up promotional activity for the X18 series. The combination of laceless construction, updated materials, and a lightweight outsole positions these boots as a direct successor to earlier speed-focused models.
