The adidas X range gives you speed and reaction time, but you’ll still need to defend yourself from those seeking to stop your lightning-fast runs. These soccer training shin guards are made from lightweight, but tough, plastic molded to the shape of your legs. They allow optimum motion while the EVA cushioning helps you ride out the knocks. Two straps keep everything perfectly in place.
