When Sydney-based elite players got their hands on the adidas Football Energy Mode Pack the superlatives flowed.

adidas invited some key players to the Sydney launch of their World Cup Pack to get their first look at the X 18+.

The event at Ultra Football in Alexandria was the first chance for consumers and media alike to go hands on with the X18+ update and stylish new colourway updates for the Predator and Nemeziz.

The Energy Mode Pack will feature heavily on pitch at this year's FIFA World Cup with adidas launching the X18+ with Brazil and Manchester City star striker Gabriel Jesus.
