The adidas Adizero Electric+ II is a low-cut, elite-level American-football cleat that weighs 221 g and uses a Sprintframe 2.0 performance TPU plate with shaped studs for traction. Reviewers agree it delivers very strong grip and helps with quick acceleration. The main trade-offs are limited cushioning, a thin upper, and mixed durability.
Released in 2025 as an elite-tier, low-cut speed cleat, the adidas Adizero Electric+ II is the second generation of the Adizero Electric line; the first Adizero Electric launched in 2024.
The upper is a synthetic/textile construction. The shoe is listed as fitting true to size and is positioned for players who rely on speed (wide receivers, defensive backs, running backs).
The sole uses adidas' Sprintframe 2.0: a performance TPU plate with shaped, data-driven studs described by adidas for precision traction. The plate and shaped studs are specified for football multi-ground/firm-ground use.
Weight is 221 g per shoe and the stated MSRP is $180.
The Adizero Electric+ II is aimed at low-cut speed skill players: wide receivers, cornerbacks, running backs and safeties who prioritise acceleration, change-of-direction and ground bite. Its 221 g weight, Sprintframe 2.0 plate and shaped studs suit firm-ground and multi-ground play for athletes who accept a minimal, fast-feeling shoe.
Players who need extra ankle support, heavier cushioning for long practices, or the reinforced construction preferred by linemen and power positions should look to mid- or high-cut alternatives. Those with wide feet should note the generally snug fit and consider trying a half size up or testing fit in person.
Reviewers across four outlets describe the Adizero Electric+ II as notably light, and the published weight is 221 g per shoe. That lightness is linked in reviews to quicker acceleration and a track-spike feel.
Support: ShoesTrace called it 'Lightweight construction for faster movement.', FootballRS said 'These cleats are ridiculously light,' and Hunter Reynolds described them as feeling 'like a track spike on your foot.'
Traction is the cleat's most consistent strength in reviews: testers report aggressive, confidence-inspiring grip that helps on quick maneuvers and sharp cuts.
Support: ShoesTrace rated traction highly with 'Exceptional grip that boosts confidence on quick maneuvers,' Cleats Report called it 'Aggressive traction for quick sprints and sharp cuts,' and Hunter Reynolds noted he 'felt like my foot was in the ground' during cuts.
'the grip, it’s absolutely insane.'. FootballRS
Most reviewers describe secure heel and midfoot lockdown driven by a contoured heel cup and snug synthetic upper, which contributes to on-field stability during cuts.
Support: ShoesTrace pointed to 'exceptional lockdown for agility,' Cleats Report said 'Heel lockdown is firm without being overly restrictive,' and FootballRS described a molded heel cup that 'wrapped around my foot beautifully.'
Fit is generally reported as true to size but snug. One reviewer sized down successfully, and another described the fit simply as 'snug,' indicating players with specific sizing habits may want to try both their usual size and a half-size adjustment.
Support: ShoesTrace and Cleats Report say they run true to size, FootballRS opted to size down, and Hunter Reynolds called them 'a snug fit.'
Assessments of structural support are mixed: some testers find midfoot and heel lockdown sufficient, while at least one reviewer called the upper 'so thin and minimal' that it provides limited foot support.
Support: Cleats Report and ShoesTrace noted a locked-in midfoot and adequate support, whereas FootballRS rated support low and described the upper as minimal; Hunter Reynolds cautioned against them for players with weak ankles.
Comfort is a trade-off with the speed-focused construction: reviewers commonly note the minimal cushioning favors responsiveness over all-day comfort, and extended sessions (beyond about two hours) can highlight the lack of padding.
Support: ShoesTrace said they are engineered for performance rather than all-day comfort, FootballRS warned the 'lack of cushioning' becomes noticeable after two hours, while Hunter Reynolds gave a higher comfort score.
Reviewers are split on value. Some see the combination of light weight and elite traction as justifying a premium, while others point to the price as a potential barrier given the cleat's minimal cushioning and durability questions.
Support: Cleats Report argued the cleats justify their cost for speed-focused players, whilst ShoesTrace called the premium cost a barrier; FootballRS offered a middling score on value.
Durability drew the lowest average across reviews. Two reviewers reported concerns about thin material, particularly at the toe box, and potential accelerated wear on abrasive surfaces, while another reviewer reported no stitching failures during their testing period.
Support: ShoesTrace warned they 'may show wear faster on rough surfaces,' Hunter Reynolds described the toe material as 'very very thin,' and Cleats Report noted seams and stitching held up in their testing.
Yes. Multiple reviewers report the Adizero Electric+ II runs true to size for most players, though one reviewer chose to size down and others described a snug fit, so individual preference matters.
The soleplate is a performance TPU plate with shaped studs intended for firm ground/multi-ground use; the design and reviewer experience point to molded, multi-ground performance rather than a detachable-stud system.
Reviewers consistently describe the cleats as very light and designed for acceleration and quick cuts; weight is 221 g per shoe, which places them firmly in the low-cut speed category.
Review evidence points to good traction on firm surfaces but mixed durability: traction is repeatedly praised, while reviewers warned the thin upper and toe area can show wear faster on abrasive surfaces.
The Adizero Electric+ II is best for speed skill positions: wide receivers, cornerbacks, running backs and safeties. Its low-cut, lightweight design and the traction-focused plate suit players prioritising acceleration and sharp cuts rather than heavy ankle support.
The Adidas adidas Adizero Electric+ II is built for players who rely on speed (wide receivers, defensive backs, running backs).
Bottom line, A purpose-built, low-cut speed cleat: excellent for receivers, defensive backs and running backs who prioritise acceleration and grip, but not for players who need heavy cushioning, maximal support or long-term durability on abrasive surfaces.
