Product Information

Full details

These firm ground football boots are designed for adult players seeking enhanced striking precision and rotational agility. The key benefit is the combination of a lightweight, grippy upper with a soleplate engineered for superior traction, inspired by classic 90s adidas Equipment gear. A potential caveat is that the lacquer finish on the soleplate may wear off during play, though this does not impact performance.

FAQs

Are these boots suitable for all playing surfaces?

No, these are Firm Ground (FG) football boots, designed specifically for natural grass pitches that are slightly damp or dry. They are not recommended for artificial grass, soft ground, or hard, irregular surfaces.

What does 'EQT' stand for?

EQT refers to adidas's Equipment line, which was a prominent sportswear collection in the 1990s, known for its technical innovation and distinctive branding.

How do I clean the Nanostrike+ upper?

Wipe the upper with a damp cloth after removing loose dirt with a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the boot.

What is the benefit of the Powerspine technology?

Powerspine technology provides enhanced midfoot stability, which helps to generate more power and stability when taking shots.

Will the floating tongue stay in place?

The floating tongue is designed for easy step-in and adjustability. When laced correctly, it should remain secure during play.

Are these boots made from sustainable materials?

Yes, these boots are made in part with recycled materials, reflecting adidas's commitment to sustainability.

What is the purpose of the 'fang' studs on the soleplate?

The 'fang' studs are part of the Strikeframe soleplate design and are engineered to improve traction and rotational agility, allowing for quicker turns and movements.

Troubleshooting

Lacquer finish on soleplate wearing off.

This is a normal cosmetic effect of play on firm ground and does not affect the performance or traction of the boot. Continue to use as normal.

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure laces are adjusted correctly, utilizing the floating tongue for easy access. Wear with appropriate football socks. If discomfort persists after a few wears, consider if the size is appropriate or if a different fit style is needed.

Reduced traction on pitch.

Check the firm ground studs for debris or damage. Ensure you are playing on an appropriate firm ground surface. Clean the studs after each use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots feature a standard lace closure system. The floating tongue is designed for easy step-in; simply slide your foot in and adjust the laces for a snug fit. The Primeknit collar will adapt to your ankle shape.

Compatibility: Specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) football pitches. Using these boots on artificial grass, soft ground, or hard, irregular surfaces may lead to premature wear and reduced performance. Always check the pitch type before playing.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After play, remove excess dirt using a soft brush. Wipe the boots with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots in water.
  2. Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to maintain their shape and condition.
