Soccer Cleats 101 Soccer Cleats News and Reviews
As part of the latest Champions League colorways, Adidas has released this blazingly hot version of the Nitrocharge 1.0. It is officially listed as a Vivid Red/Running White/Electricity. There is a very prominent “Super Hero” feel about this one, with the extremely bright clash of Red and Yellow designed to attrack attention and mesh with any bright colored kit. In fact, there is a lof of different colorways that these would go well with.
When I see these boots, I immediately picture the original F50 adiZero II release, in the Mcdonalds style. This time around, and with the colors inverted, things are a whole lot different and much more attractive. They say that Red is the color of Energy, and I think that is the ultimate message of the boot, considering they are intended to play to the strength of the Engine.

The Boot
Adidas have created a unique style of boot to suite the “engine room” of the field. The guy who is always where he is needed, stealing the ball at one end of the field and being in position to cross the ball into the box at the other end. The kind of guy who is always in motion and trying to find a way to break down the opposition. The focus of the boot is energy efficiency, enhancement and protection. The boot that is built like a tank with the efficiency of a hybrid car, able to take a beating and last for miles.

The Tech
Every bit of tech is designed around the idea of energy return or protection. The most noticeable feature would be the energy sling which is located at the bottom of the laces and is designed to support the foot through cutting and turning movements. Next off we have the Energy Pulse element in the outsole (anyone else reminded of the predator element?) which is meant to almost act as a springboard to increase energy return and explosiveness. Pads in both the toe and heel as well as a hybrid touch upper coupled with a mesh rearfoot make for a very durable package that offers up a great deal of protection for whatever situation the engine room may come across in their ventures.
