adidas Launch New Women’s ACE and X Boots : Football Boots : Soccer Bible

Taking two significant steps forward in the women's game, adidas have brought female specific versions of the X and ACE to the table with the new 'Metallic Shimmer Pack'.

It’s the women's game that often sets the standard when it comes to colourways across the board – just take a look back at the adidas ‘Speed of White Pack’ or the 2015 Nike Women’s World Cup Pack. While its previously been colour stories that have flown the women’s flag, adidas have launched the first versions of the ACE and X football boots created explicitly for female players – the 'Metallic Shimmer Pack'.

Made up of the "Platinum Metallic/Core Black/Core Red" adidas ACE 17.1 Women and the dubiously titled X 17.1 Women in a "Core Black/Platinum Metallic/Core Red" (lets be honest, it's no step change in design compared to the X 16.1), both boots of the adidas ‘Metallic Shimmer Pack’ have been engineered to specifically fit the female foot by featuring a totally unique combination of shape, design and traction. Structurally different to cater for the female foot shape and physiology, both boots have shorter and smaller studs, as well as unique stud positioning. The height and diameter of the studs are designed to aid both rotational and linear traction for female athletes.
