Will New Soccer Shoes Change The Game?

Anyone who has played soccer knows that good equipment matters heavily to performance. And probably nothing is more important to a soccer player than shoes. Cleats help traction in different weather and terrain. On a rainy day they could play a significant role in how a team performs and the difference between good cleats and bad cleats may affect the outcome of a game and possibly the soccer tournament.
It's impressive that the new changes recently made to cleats have improved their performance on the field. Cleats, like the Nike Sense, just seems to MAKE sense. They are made of lightweight material so not to take down any speed you have but also have an adaptive traction system that adjusts the stud's height depending on the conditions of the field. As many soccer players know, traction can easily change during the course of a game and a shoe that knows this and makes adjustments could provide a distinctive advantage within the course of a game.
Supposedly the technology literally reacts to the pressure applied by the player's foot and adjusts cleat stud to compensate up to 3mm. Players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrohimovich are currently using the shoe (though they are under contract with Nike) and have actively come out by saying that it has helped him during the game.
While still many soccer blog sites and critics are pointing out that it's clearly the skill of the player and not the equipment affecting the soccer skill at the end of the day, the soccer equipment that they are using should clearly make a difference.
With new innovations in equipment, soccer matches show the best players in the world playing even better. Fans of the sport will enjoy seeing their superstars play at a higher capacity and new innovations in soccer equipment should only highlight their abilities and make a better match.
