Butler will be one of several top contenders to debut the 2019 adizero 40 cleat and the 2019 adizero 8.0 cleat this weekend in Indianapolis for his field practice and 40-yard dash.
2019 adizero 40 Cleats
Aerodynamic and weighing just 4.7 ounces, the 2019 Adizero 40 cleats are arguably the lightest cleats in the game. Inspired by the afterburners of the fastest fighter jets in the air and built for the fastest players on the grill, the 2019 Adizero 40 football boots feature a bright orange colourway and a wavy sonic boom pattern to the F-15, F-16 , F-22 and F-35 fighter jets.
The adizero 40 skid shoes 2019 are designed for 40m sprinters and athletes who want to show off their style while breaking speed records. They are made of ultra-light but very strong fibers. The SPRINTSKIN Ultra upper has been engineered to provide reinforcement only in key support areas for maximum performance, while sitting on the SPRINTFRAME football board with strategically placed SPRINTSTUDS for maximum performance and acceleration for the 40m sprint.
2019 adizero 8.0 Cleats
Designed for the fastest players in football, adizero takes the silhouette of football boots to the next level by combining sneaker silhouettes and redefining fit, feel and lightweight construction.
Taking sneaker style and insight from the street to the rust, the 2019 Adizero 8.0 PK shoe features Primeknit boots with an aerodynamic shape that wraps around the foot for a sock-like feel. Inspired by adidas Running Uncaged UltraBOOST and adidas Originals NMD shoe shape innovations, the adizero 8.0 is designed to allow your feet to move naturally on the court, allowing flexibility and movement in the ankle, while providing a comfortable, precise fit and maximum Breathability.
The Primeknit upper seamlessly combines with a lightweight TPU overlay to provide structure for lateral movement, durability and support, while the anatomical lacing system aligns with the bones of the foot for added comfort. The comfortable and durable upper is powered by metal-plated SRPINTFRAME and strategically placed SPRINTSTUDS with a rotating traction zone designed for maximum performance, multi-directional strength and unmatched traction.
Finishing touches are adidas’ signature 3-Stripes on the toe cap, adidas Sport badges on the inner arch and the “adizero” moniker on the front pull tab.
