Adidas X15.1 Leather Orange FG
New with box
The Upper:
- This is the leather upper, which featured a partial K Leather upper near the toe are of the boots, and a newly designed "X Skin" upper for the back 3/4 of the boots, the same upper as on the synthetic mode
- This new upper featured dozens of tiny little grooves or dots that provided some texture throughout the upper and helped with the grip
- The leather did not feature the "Techfit" sock liner technology, like the synthetic variation did
The Sole Plate:
- A one piece hard plastic material was used, with half a dozen grooves throughout the boot to make the sole plate a bit more flexible
- A triangular 3-D stud design was used, very similar to the Vapor XI model
- There were also several smaller studs used to help with traction near the mid foot area
- This is the SG Variant that also featured 6 aluminum studs mixed with the plastic triangular studs
- Overall, the soleplate was lightweight, but still a bit stiff
Notes and Comments:
- The X15.1 was the newly renovated F50 model and had some similar features
- It was interesting to see the K Leather being used on the upper, the previous F50s used a calf skin material that was a bit lighter, but definitely not as high quality as K Leather
- Overall the upper had a great new technology that helped with the grip, while still staying lightweight
