Sports brand Adidas has created the world’s first football boot to have an upper knitted entirely from yarn (+ slideshow).
Adidas‘ limited-edition Samba Primeknit boot is said to offer the same levels of strength and stability as conventional boots, while using fewer materials and weighing less.
Using yarn means that the shoe doesn’t produce any waste material, making the Primeknit the company’s most sustainable football boot according to a press statement.
Football boots are traditionally made by stitching and laminating pieces together. However in this case, a single piece of yarn is knitted and attached to the sole of the shoe. By using just one textile layer, the upper material is reduced to a minimum – meaning the boot weighs just 165 grams.
“By producing the world’s first knitted football boot we have provided a brand new solution to the search for higher levels of comfort and flexibility,” said Markus Baumann, senior vice-president for global football at Adidas.
Developed over the course of two years, each piece of yarn is coated in a water-resistant polymer to ensure the boot doesn’t become waterlogged when wet.
Designers also created specific zones on the fabric to increase flexibility or stability depending on which part of the boot the yarn is located.
Although the technology has already been used in Adidas’ range of running shoes, plus Nike’s Flyknit footwear launched two years ago, the increased demands on the upper that playing football brings meant that further development of the material was required before it could be used for the sport.
“Primeknit is a technology that is right at the heart of Adidas innovation and we’re excited about introducing this development into football,” Baumann continued.
The colour – a mix of blue, orange, pink and lime green – is a reflection of the colour schemes currently used in Adidas’ Samba range, released ahead of the 2014 FIFA World Cup taking place in Brazil this summer.
The boot will be available from 17 March, with only 150 pairs due to go on sale.

adidas Energy Boost II
Posted in: boostLe mie scarpe preferite da running passano alla seconda versione. Da circa un annetto uso la prima release e posso dirvi che dopo qualche chilometro, non potrete più farne a meno. Sono leggere, flessibili, la tomaia in Techfit ti avvolge il piede come una calza compressa e la suola boost fa tutto il resto. Le nuove dovrebbero ricalcare le caratteristiche della sorella maggiore salvo un upgrade di migliorie tecniche. Sul sito del trifoglio le danno in arrivo e io ovviamente non vedo l’ora di averle ai piedi.

Sports brand Adidas has unveiled its latest running shoes with springy blades sticking out of the soles (+ slideshow).
Adidas Springblade Razor trainers have 16 blades on the bottom of each shoe, arranged in pairs up the length of the base with two larger pads at each end.
Formed from specially engineered plastic, the blades compress under the runner’s weight when pressure is exerted on the ground then spring back to help push the foot forward.
A sock-like upper wraps around the top of the foot to keep it secure when pushing off and is designed to aid breathability.
The men’s trainers in four colourways are now available to preorder from the Adidas USA website, and will go on sale online and in stores across America tomorrow. They will launch in other countries later this year.
We’ve also published trainers with rubber loops on the bottom to give extra spring, which won the product design prize at a Swiss design awards last year.
Here’s the information that Adidas sent to us:
Adidas launches Springblade Razor, the next generation of explosive energy under your feet. The new running shoe is available for pre-order for $180 on adidas.com this weekend starting Sunday 12 January.
Springblade, introduced last year, is the first running shoe with blade technology designed to help propel you forward. The Razor features a unique web design over sock-like Techfit technology that helps lock your feet in place and enhances breathability. The shoe’s 16 individually tuned blades instantaneously react to any environment, compressing and releasing energy.
Springblade Razor goes on sale on adidas.com, at adidas Sport Performance stores and retailers nationwide including Finish Line on 16 January.
The Razor launches in four colorways for men, including Solar Blue/Tech Grey Metallic/Black, Black/Tech Grey Metallic/ Light Scarlet, Metallic Silver/Black/Light Scarlet and Light Scarlett/Black/Metallic Silver, and three colorways for women including Solar Blue/Tech Grey Metallic/Black, Black/Black/Vivid Berry and Bahia Pink/Metallic Silver/Black.
