adidas organises football boots by what a player is supposed to be good at. Through the second half of the 2010s that meant several families running in parallel: Predator for control, Copa for touch, Nemeziz for agility, and X for speed. The X boots were built around thinness, the least material the brand could leave between a foot and a ball while still fixing the foot to a soleplate, and the 2019 generation refined that premise rather than restarting it, coating a very thin mesh upper so it held its shape when wet. FG is the firm-ground soleplate, moulded studs for natural grass in reasonable condition, as distinct from the versions made for soft or artificial surfaces. Shock pink is a colour speed boots have worn for years, on the straightforward logic that a player selling himself on pace benefits from being visible while doing it.
