The adidas Team 23 Sleeve Socks are designed for football players seeking enhanced performance and comfort on the pitch. They excel at securing shinpads and managing moisture, helping you stay cool and focused during intense activity. While these sleeves offer superb ventilation and flexibility by allowing you to pair them with your preferred grip or padded socks, remember they are not full socks and require a separate inner layer to complete your setup.

Ribbed Cuffs: Strategically placed ribbed cuffs at the top and bottom ensure a snug and secure fit, preventing the sleeves from slipping down during dynamic movements.

The adidas Team 23 Sleeve Socks are engineered to optimize your performance on the football pitch. In real-world scenarios, these sleeves shine by addressing common player needs:
Maintaining Shinpad Security: During quick sprints, tackles, and sudden changes in direction, the flexible yet supportive build of these sleeves ensures your shinpads remain precisely where they should be. This drastically reduces the need for mid-game adjustments, allowing players to focus entirely on the game.
Superior Moisture Control: Whether you're playing under the scorching sun or in humid conditions, the AEROREADY technology works tirelessly. As you sweat, the fabric rapidly wicks moisture away from your skin and disperses it, accelerating evaporation. This keeps your lower legs feeling dry and comfortable, preventing clamminess and potential chafing throughout the match.
Customized Footwear Feel: Many players have specific preferences for their grip or padded socks. The open-ended design of the Team 23 Sleeve Socks means you aren't tied to an all-in-one solution. You can wear your favorite, most comfortable, or most performance-enhancing inner socks while still benefitting from the secure shinpad hold and classic team look of the adidas sleeves. This flexibility allows for a highly personalized and comfortable fit, crucial for peak performance.
Adherence to Regulations: For competitive play, these sleeves offer a compliant solution, providing the necessary coverage and shinpad retention without compromising on team uniform rules. They help maintain a traditional football appearance while integrating modern technology.
Wear Your Inner Socks: First, put on your preferred padded or grip socks. These will be worn under the sleeve socks.
Position Shinpads: Place your shinpads over your inner socks, ensuring they are correctly aligned and centered on your shins.
Pull On Sleeve Socks: Pull the adidas Team 23 Sleeve Socks up over your shinpads. The ribbed cuffs should sit snugly below your knee and above your ankle (or over the top of your inner sock if it extends higher), securing the shinpad in place.
Adjust for Comfort: Ensure the sleeves are smooth and comfortable, with no bunching or twisting that could cause discomfort during activity.
Inner Socks: These sleeves are specifically designed to be worn with separate padded or grip socks. They are open-ended at the foot.
Uniform Rules: Their design helps maintain a classic football look, making them compatible with most team uniform regulations.
Shinpads: Suitable for use with standard football shinpads.
Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Use a mild detergent.
Drying: Tumble dry low or hang dry to preserve fabric integrity and elasticity. Avoid high heat.
Bleach: Do not bleach.

Material: The blend of recycled polyester and elastane is durable, but proper care ensures longevity and performance of the AEROREADY technology.
