Black Adidas X SPEEDPORTAL boots are out – just days after the German brand dropped the first edition of them
Helped out by Rick and Morty for the launch video –
The new X SPEEDPORTAL boots were originally launched in bright green – perhaps thanks to Rick and Morty, weirdly. Adult Swim made a special 90-second launch video featuring the cartoon dimension shifters – oh, along with cartoon versions of Mohamed Salah and Vivianne Miedema, of course – with the boots' colourway reflecting the colour of the portals in the show.

Where can I find black Adidas X SPEEDPORTAL boots?
It looks as if so far, only Pro Direct have the black pairs of these boots, which follow a long line of X boots and F50s that Adidas have brought out.
Despite only coming out this week, however, they've been on show a lot at Women's Euro 2022. Lionesses have donned the new X SPEEDPORTALs, including the likes of Rachel Daly and Alessia Russo.
The bright green is still there on the black pair of the X SPEEDPORTALs – hidden inside the boot itself, with the secondary colour of these ones being a bright orange.
