Boasting the look of the upcoming Adidas X 2016 Boots Colorway, Karim Benzema laced up in a non-modified version of the brand-new Adidas X15+ Skeleton Cleats that are set to be released at the latest in early April 2016. The Adidas X 15+ Skeleton Cleat Launch Boot Colorway combines a mainly white and black upper with Solar Green and Solar Blue applications while featuring a remarkable shiny design in the midfoot area.
What are the differences to the regular Adidas X 15 Boots? Whereas the Adidas X 15+ Boots either feature a leather (Adidas X 15.1 Leather), synthetic (Adidas X 15.1) or a knitted upper (Adidas X 15 Primeknit), the Adidas X Skeleton Soccer Boot comes with a different synthetic material in the heel area that is made for lightweight and more stability while also featuring a lightweight microfiber material in the forefoot area (that's the shiny element visible in the midfoot area). Apart from that, the boots are the same form a tech point of view, even though the design slightly differs.
