As the Champions League Final approaches this weekend, Mo Salah has unveiled the latest in laceless football innovation with the adidas X 18+, a boot poised to make waves at the 2018 World Cup.
Having trained extensively in a stealthy black version of the X 18+, Salah now reveals the official release model, which will take center stage as adidas prepares for the tournament in Russia next month. With the final in Kiev on the horizon, Salah is set to be joined by fellow Real Madrid stars, all donning the X 18+.
The X 18+ will lead the charge with its laceless design, while the traditional laced 18.1 model will also be available. This addition to adidas’ lineup brings the laceless option to their premier boots, joining the Nemeziz and Predator in this sleek new style. The X 18+ carries an aesthetic reminiscent of the classic F50 adizero, giving it a stylish edge.
Though the boots have been previewed, adidas will keep the full details under wraps until the official reveal later this week. This launch is timely for Salah, who recently donated his previous pair to the British Museum’s famed Egyptian collection.
