CHAOS OR CONTROL adidas' new solar orange colorway on the pitch and on the streets of London

Ace 15.1 Firm Ground Boots

FROM THE STREETS TO THE STADIUMS adidas is redefining how we think about football. Through the release of the X and Ace silhouettes earlier in 2015, the brand has created two distinct categories for players to live within. On the launch of a bold, new orange colorway we caught up with football's finest, Southampton and England's Ryan Bertrand, Tottenham and England's Ryan Mason, alongside London footballers Danny and Seun, to get to the bottom of their playing style, what inspires them on the ball, and what fires them up on tarmac and turf...
RYAN MASON [Tottenham & England Midfielder] “The key is to control that passion and not get too into it. I try and stay cool headed on the pitch, but I’m definitely a passionate player and I enjoy wearing the shirt.” SEUN AREOYE [London Attacking Midfielder] “It starts off the pitch as well, I think it’s a tactical thing. What people don’t see is the most important thing when approaching a game.”

X15.1

RYAN BERTRAND [Southampton & England Left Back] “My analysis is important to me, so I know my opponent can't throw anything at me that I haven't previously seen.” DANNY ADJEI [London Centre Forward] “I normally play on small sided pitches so possession is everything to me too. I play to express myself.”
