Update: Lots of new pictures showing both the 18+ and 18.1 tiers of the upcoming 'Archetic Pack' Adidas X have been leaked.
Adidas will drop a clean new blackout of sorts colorway for its X 18 soccer boot range in early 2019. Part of a full collection in this style, which will be called the 'Archetic pack', it will be launched on January 8, 2019.

This image shows the black and blue Adidas X 2019 cleat.
An interesting new blackout look for the X 18+, these boots are entirely black with subtle shiny 3 Stripes on the outside front and a blue inside. More blue is present in the rear part of the sole plate, which is quite reflective, and an interwoven pattern inside the upper.
