A lightweight, elite-tier American-football cleat from 2026 designed for acceleration and quick cuts on firm grass and turf. It cuts weight compared with older Adizero Impact models and gives noticeably better traction for speed moves. The trade-offs are a narrower, race-style fit that can feel tight for wider feet and only average durability on rough surfaces.
Released in 2026 as an elite-tier model, the Adizero Impact+ II succeeds the Adizero Impact family (the Impact line traces back to releases in 2024).
Weight is 311 g per shoe. The upper is synthetic, with some SKUs combining synthetic and textile, and a Primeknit collar/sock construction. PRIMEKNIT is a knitted ankle collar that acts like a sock. REPETITOR foam is the brand name for the midsole foam used for cushioning.
The outsole is a synthetic outsole featuring adidas' 'Future of Agility Plate' with molded traction. The 'Future of Agility Plate' is a shaped plate in the sole that holds the molded studs and is intended to help quick cuts and acceleration.
The cleat is described as optimized for natural grass and synthetic turf surfaces. Adidas lists the fit as Regular fit / True to size; the model is positioned for players prioritizing lightweight speed and agility. MSRP is $200.
The Adizero Impact+ II is aimed at low-cut, speed-oriented users: wide receivers, cornerbacks, running backs and safeties who prioritize acceleration, quick cuts and low mass. Its 311 g weight, agility-tuned molded outsole and Primeknit collar make it a fit-for-purpose choice for these skill positions at club, high-school and collegiate levels; more advanced players at higher levels can benefit if they accept the model's narrower, race-style fit.
Players who need a mid-cut, all-position shoe for repeated contact, linebackers, tight ends, or players splitting time at safety and tight end, should consider mid-cut all-position alternatives for more ankle support. Offensive and defensive linemen should choose heavier, wider, reinforced lineman cleats.
If you have wide feet or prefer a roomier forefoot, try a half-size up or look for wider models; if your field use is abrasive or you need long-term durability for daily practice on rough surfaces, other, tougher models may be more appropriate.
The cleat is consistently described as lightweight in reviewer tests and is specified at 311 g per shoe. Reviewers noted the lower mass aids quickness and maneuverability in game situations.
This lighter construction appears repeatedly as a defining trait: 'feeling noticeably lighter than many classic football cleats' (CleatsReport), 'Extremely lightweight, enhancing speed and maneuverability' (ShoesTrace), and 'They definitely feel light, which is crucial for quick movements and explosive bursts of speed' (Gadget Jungle Pro).

Reviewers find the Future of Agility Plate and molded stud pattern effective for rapid acceleration and sharp cuts on firm surfaces. The stud layout is described as strategically placed to support re-acceleration and direction changes.
Summaries from outlets: 'I found the layout effective for sudden cuts, acceleration, and re-acceleration' (CleatsReport) and 'Strategically placed studs for superior traction and quick acceleration' (ShoesTrace), which together point to a traction system tuned for speed and agility rather than brute push-off on soft ground.

The Adizero Impact+ II balances lateral containment with freedom of foot movement; reviewers report enough support for confident cuts while retaining mobility. The Primeknit collar and upper overlays contribute to a snug, secure feel.
Evidence: 'I felt enough lateral support for confident cuts, but the shoe still encourages foot mobility' (CleatsReport) and 'Offers a secure, snug fit with excellent ankle support' (ShoesTrace), indicating reviewers see it as supportive for agility-focused players rather than a heavily braced cleat.

Comfort is described as adequate for game-length use but not plush; cushioning is minimal compared with heavy-duty running shoes. Reviewers pointed to the textile lining and Primeknit collar as contributors to a less abrasive internal feel.
Review notes include 'Cushioning is minimal compared to heavy-duty running shoes, but the Adizero Impact.2 provides enough underfoot comfort for game-length use' (CleatsReport) and 'The textile lining adds a layer of comfort, preventing that harsh, scratchy feeling you sometimes get with cleats' (Best Top Tech).

Durability assessments are mixed: some reviewers report the cleats held up through multiple sessions and scrimmages, while others warned of faster wear on rough surfaces. Overall the consensus sits in the mid range for longevity.
Representative lines: 'held up well through multiple sessions and a few scrimmages' (CleatsReport) and 'May show signs of wear faster on rough surfaces' (ShoesTrace), suggesting acceptable lifespan for athletes who play primarily on maintained grass or turf but potential trade-offs for heavy use on abrasive surfaces.

The $200 MSRP places the cleat in a premium tier; reviewer scores for value are mixed. Some outlets see the balance of materials and on-field performance as good value for serious players, while others flag the price as a drawback given average durability.
Evidence is split: 'the balance of materials, fit, and on-field performance made it a good value for serious players' (CleatsReport) versus 'Price · Premium pricing may not suit all budgets' (ShoesTrace).

Reviewers report that once properly laced the cleats keep the heel and midfoot secure, reducing lift during acceleration. The tongue structure and overlays are singled out as functional contributors to that stability.
Supporting comments: 'Once laced properly, I had minimal heel lift during acceleration, and the combination of tongue structure and overlays kept things stable' (CleatsReport) and 'Offers a secure, snug fit with excellent ankle support' (ShoesTrace).

Adidas lists the fit as Regular fit / True to size and reviewers largely confirm that, but note a race-style, snug profile that can feel tight in the forefoot for wider feet. Several reviewers recommend considering a half-size up for broader feet.
Reviewer observations: 'the fit to be snug and intended for players who prefer a performance, race-style fit' (CleatsReport) and 'Yes, the Adizero Impact + II typically runs true to size for most players. However, some users with wider feet report a snug fit in the forefoot area, so if you have a wider foot, consider sizing up half a size.' (ShoesTrace).
'Yes, the Adizero Impact + II typically runs true to size for most players. However, some users with wider feet report a snug fit in the forefoot area, so if you have a wider foot, consider sizing up half a size.'. ShoesTrace
Yes. adidas lists the fit as Regular fit and product pages recommend usual sizing. Reviewer evidence also reports it typically runs true to size, though some players with wider feet found the forefoot snug and were advised to consider sizing up half a size.
The cleat is intended and reported to work on natural grass and synthetic turf, with a molded outsole described as optimized for firm natural grass and turf by adidas and reviewers. It is not a detachable-stud design for soft, muddy fields.
The outsole uses a molded synthetic outsole with adidas' Future of Agility Plate. Reviewers describe the stud layout as fixed/molded and focused on quick cuts and acceleration rather than interchangeable stud setups.
Reviewer assessments are mixed but cluster in the mid range: several outlets call durability adequate for multiple sessions and scrimmages, while at least one outlet warns of faster wear on rough surfaces. Overall durability is average relative to the price and elite positioning.
They are aimed at speed and skill positions. Specifically, this cleat is best for wide receivers, cornerbacks, running backs and safeties because of its low-weight design and traction-focused outsole; it is less suitable for offensive and defensive linemen who need heavier, wider, more heavily reinforced cleats.
Bottom line, The Adizero Impact+ II is a lightweight, elite-tier American-football cleat built for speed and agility on firm grass and turf; it suits speed and skill players but may feel snug for wider feet and shows average durability. Players who need maximum protection, extra width, or long-term toughness should consider other models.
