Inspired By The U.S. Military, These Dark Ops Collection Cleats Are So SICK (And American As Hell)

If you’ve paid attention recently, adidas has been doing some really rad things to pay tribute to military veterans over the past couple weeks, so, naturally, the sports brand unveiled the third pack of cleats in their Dark Ops Collection.

Inspired by the footwear and accessories worn by the elite forces of the U.S. military, the Dark Ops Collection of cleats—the adizero 5-Star 5.0 and Freak x KEVLAR—feature the some of the lightest materials in order to get maximum performance and speed, with the third pack in the collection inspired from the U.S. Navy SEALs, combining the black colorways of the Sea, Air and Land Teams’ uniforms and wetsuits.

With both cleats recognizing the U.S. military in visual design, embroidered stripes pay homage to the insignia found on military uniforms, and the 5-STAR FRAME and KEVLAR durability makes the Dark Ops Collection of cleats ready for battle on the football field.
