Following
the recent launch of the world’s first knitted football boot, the adidas Samba
Primeknit, adidas gives fans a glimpse of the football boots of the future by
unveiling the new adidas Primeknit FS.
The
limited edition Primeknit FS will be
produced in a black, white and red design and is the world’s first all-in-one
knitted football boot and sock hybrid. This unique ‘sock silhouette’ design
will provide a bespoke second-skin feel that will offer the perfect fit from
toe to calf. The sock improves ball to foot touch compared to boots with
traditional overlays, edges or laces.
While
the adidas Primeknit FS remains in
design phase and is currently being treated as a “concept model”, adidas is currently working with its top players to
finalise development of the product and release it on pitch later this year.
The one piece design and strong light yarns of the Primeknit FS is expected to provide new levels of flexibility and
comfort with stability and strength equal to that of conventional boots. Each
yarn receives a high precision coating that guarantees water resistance even in
the most challenging conditions.
Similar
to the recently released adidas Samba
Primeknit, the world’s first knitted football boot, the technology behind
the world’s first fully integrated knitted football boot and sock hybrid allows
for optimised and engineered zones for the different performance needs of each
player in one single layer.
Commenting
on the unveiling of the adidas Primeknit
FS, Markus Baumann, Senior VP for Global Football at adidas said,
“Following the launch last week of the adidas Samba Primeknit, the world’s
first knitted football boot, we’re excited to be able to give the World a
glimpse into the future of our products. The introduction of the adidas Primeknit FS is only the latest
chapter of adidas football products and further cements our place as the
pioneer of footballing innovation.”
