Adidas X 15.1 Orange Leather FG

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
