The gifted 25-year-old Egyptian is also seeking to provide a unique advantage to his collection by debuting the adidas X18+, which is designed for speed.

Drillium engineering, which is used in professional cycling and motor racing, was used in the development of the boots in order to minimize weight and increase speed.

According to the manufacturer, adidas, its Energy Mode versions have been demonstrated to enable players to run faster and accelerate, providing them a competitive advantage.

After months of testing the technology, designers created a laceless boot that is meant to conform to the shape of a player’s foot.

In an effort to use less material overall and reduce the weight of the shoes, they have even used a skeletal mesh weave.

The idea was sparked by the way professional cycling teams and Formula One teams create components and designs that minimize drag and weight, enabling their vehicles to go quicker while using less energy.

The boot was supposed to be launched in time for the World Cup, but Salah’s incredible performance in leading Liverpool to the Champions League final has moved forward the release date.

“The challenge for us as designers is producing a boot which highlights the natural talents of these incredible athletes on the biggest sporting stage in the world,” stated Sam Handy, Vice-President of Design at adidas.

“With the new Energy Mode X18+, we have created a product that is incredibly light and simple in design, eliminating obstacles between the foot and the ball while still providing the superior touch and high-speed support that the most dynamic players in the game need.”

“As we continue to innovate in footwear design, we believe this product opens up new potential for players and can’t wait to see them in action in Russia.”

Real Madrid players Gareth Bale, Marcelo, and Karim Benzema will also be sporting a pair of the new X18s while they are on display in Kiev, meaning Salah is not the only player sporting them.
