adidas lists a regular fit, but laceless entry can still be the deciding factor. The stretchy band must hold the midfoot securely without making the opening painfully tight.

Fit, feel, traction and use
Fit & sizing
adidas lists a regular fit, but laceless entry can still be the deciding factor. The stretchy band must hold the midfoot securely without making the opening painfully tight.
Upper & touch
The soft synthetic upper includes padding and perforations, while the laceless forefoot creates a clean strike area. This is simple construction aimed at developing players.
Traction & outsole
The outsole is designed around steady multi-ground grip rather than a specialized elite plate. That is appropriate for the model's beginner role.
Surface suitability
adidas specifies a firm/multi-ground outsole and describes it for firm ground and artificial grass. That versatility is useful for beginner schedules.
Comfort & youth value
A padded collar and simple upper are meaningful at this price level. The biggest comfort caveat is laceless opening/volume compatibility.
Where it makes sense—and where it does not
- Current adidas model
- Regular fit
- Padded collar
- Simple laceless entry
- FG/MG versatility
- Less midfoot adjustability than laces
- Laceless opening may not suit every foot
- Beginner construction rather than premium materials
