Bugatti has teamed up with adidas to create these limited-edition football boots

Not content with building ultra-rare hypercars, Bugatti has now decided to team up with little-known German sportswear brand adidas to create some rare football boots. We promise we're not making this up.

Called the adidas X Crazyfast Bugatti, they’re based on the standard X Crazyfast boots, and we’d imagine Ferrari is now frantically looking for a new name for its 812 Superfast successor. 

The Bugatti boots are apparently “engineered for speed” with a carbon fibre inlay and adidas’s ‘Speedframe’ sole plate that’s lightweight but rigid to allow for rapid acceleration. And actually, you probably will be able to run faster than a Chiron in these things – most of those max out at around 18mph on Park Lane in London. 

The material used on most of the boot’s upper is a recognisable Bugatti blue that’s apparently inspired by the colour of early Bugatti racing cars, while there are plenty of Bugatti badges to prove these are a special edition. Two company slogans are printed on the side too - “Impossible is Nothing” for adidas and “Create the Incomparable” for Bugatti. 

We’re told that the boots will come in a unique box too with a design “inspired by weaves of carbon fibre”.

Sadly, by the sounds of it they won’t often come out of those boxes though, because Bugatti says that they will “remain rare and sought after by devoted collectors for years to come”.

Just 99 pairs will be available with the boots being auctioned via something called the adidas Collect Web 3 platform between 8 – 11 November. Oh, and they’ll be worn on pitch by Rafael Leao and Karim Benzema in November. Wonder if those two already have the Chirons to match the boots?
