Adidas Shows the World’s First Knit Football Boot
Adidas is soon going to release the limited edition Samba Primeknit boot. The new shoe is claimed to have all the strength and stability you would expect from a football boot, but will weigh less and use fewer materials. The shoe has been produced from yarn, and according to Adidas is the company’s most environmentally sustainable boot till date.
Using yarn means not just reduced use of materials, but also reduced weight since there is just one textile layer. Each boot weighs just a tiny 165 grams. The yarn is coated with water resistant polymer so the shoe does not become water logged when wet.
Samba Primeknit will go on sale on March 17 as a limited edition, with only 150 units up for grabs.
