Ultra-rare Adidas X15.1 match worn by Real Madrid legend and multiple UEFA Champions League winner, Gareth Bale.
- Match worn during the 2015/16 La Liga & UEFA Champions League season while representing Real Madrid.
- Specially custom made to measure by Adidas’ Athlete Services in Germany to Bale’s exact specifications.
- Completely different from the commercial retail X15.1 model — this pair features a custom SprintFrame outsole taken directly from the 2010 F50 Adizero.
- The transparent SprintFrame hides a printed graphic of the retail X15.1 sole, disguising the modification.
- A museum-level match worn piece from a player who has won every major honour in club football.
- Authenticity fully guaranteed with the BC Boots UK Certificate of Authenticity.
- Player Modifications & Personalisation:
- Personalised with “Bale 11” on the medial side of each boot, along with his daughter’s name “Alba” on the outstep.
- Right boot features the Wales flag; left boot features Bale’s custom personal logo.
- Adidas heels feature smaller logos than retail due to the SprintFrame external heel counter occupying more space.
- Upper constructed with an extremely stiff structure and reinforced engineering far beyond retail production.
- Interior liner lifted from the 2013 F50 Adizero for comfort and performance consistency.
- Increased internal volume tailored specifically to Bale’s foot shape.
- Additional reinforced stitching encircles the lacing system to prevent tearing or over-stretching when tightly laced.
- Stamped internally with “Sample, not for resale,” confirming this pair was not made available to the public.
- Collector & Investment Significance:
- A true one-off, deeply customised match worn example from one of the greatest British players of the modern era.
- Incredibly rare custom SprintFrame construction makes this pair significantly more desirable than standard Bale match worns.
- Highly sought-after by elite collectors of Real Madrid, Wales internationals, and Adidas Athlete Services boots.
- Exceptional provenance and uniqueness provide both long-term historical and investment value.
