The X and Ace boots are designed based on the modern footballers’ distinct playing styles – that is, those that cause chaos and those that control everything – the game changers and the play makers.
Said Pep Guardiola, manager of Bayern Munich, “It’s chaos or control. There are players who think more about what the team needs and what is the best solution for the team. This kind of player is an intelligent player who has a vision about what the team needs. He controls.”
“Then there’s those who cause chaos. The ones who play on instinct and talent. They are a little outside of the field. They can create anything and you can’t control that. There are no limits.”
Now, for the first time, these two distinct types of player will have boots designed to help them make the difference to their teams.
ACE15
Some players are born to control. They pull the strings and set the pace. Every great team needs such players that keep it on track. These are the players who bring the coaches’ plans into action. They bring order into a chaotic game. Players like Mesut Özil, James Rodríguez, Oscar, Manuel Neuer and Ivan Rakiti? are the glue of some of the best teams on the globe. And adidas has designed the ACE15 for players like them.

ACE15 is built to give players complete control. The revolutionary CONTROL WEB gives ultimate ball control, due to the engineered 3D material technology. A 3-layer compound combined with grippy EVA provides an unbeatable touch. A ground breaking new stud configuration puts more studs on the ball during foot-over moves to allow for complete ball control. The unique NSG (Non-stop grip) skin makes use of 3D dots to give perfect control in all conditions. The players who run the show now have the boots to match their needs.
X15
Other players are the sparks that ignite the game. They create moments that get the crowd off their seat. These players are specialists in chaos – Thomas Müller, Gareth Bale, Luis Suárez, Karim Benzema and Álvaro Morata. They strike without a moment’s notice. And adidas X15 has been created for such players.
