These adidas Team 23 Sleeve Socks are engineered to elevate performance on the pitch. The open-ended design is a significant advantage for football players who prefer specific padded or grip socks for comfort and traction but still need to meet uniform requirements. For instance, a player can wear high-performance grip socks for better boot-to-foot connection, then pull these sleeves over their shinpads to complete their kit, ensuring the shinpads remain perfectly positioned.
The integrated AEROREADY technology plays a crucial role during high-intensity matches or training sessions. As you exert yourself, sweat is efficiently wicked away from the skin, preventing the clammy sensation that can lead to discomfort or chafing. This helps maintain focus and energy levels throughout the game, allowing players to perform at their best even in challenging conditions. The supportive, flexible build ensures that shinpads stay locked in place, minimizing distractions from readjusting gear and allowing players to confidently engage in tackles and sprints.
Select Your Base Socks: First, put on your preferred padded or grip socks.
Position Shinpads: Place your shinpads securely on your shins.
Don the Sleeves: Pull the adidas Team 23 Sleeve Socks over your shinpads, ensuring the ribbed cuffs are comfortably positioned just below your knee and the sleeve fully covers your shinpad.
Adjust: Make any minor adjustments to ensure a snug fit that keeps your shinpad stable and comfortable.
These sleeves are designed to be highly compatible with most standard football shinpads and a wide variety of base socks, including:
Padded football socks
Grip socks
Thin athletic socks
