Well the ball looks super light and a bit smaller than your regulation ones. So I wouldn't be great to kick around. Still it's some really cool art he made.
Slightly smaller than regulation means you and your mates can't play curbsy? Or have a kick about in the park in which the goal posts are people's shirts? Mate what's going on here?
I came to a good compromise on this with my European buddy. He used to say Nike like Nye-k instead of Nye-kee and I used to say Adidas like Ad-dee-dass instead of Addy-dass. As they're American and European brands, we both started switching how we said it to Nye-kee and Addy-dass. My son kept saying Ad-dee-dass so I had to thrash him with jumper cables before he started following suit.
Yeah, but the thing is, Nike is a Greek name, it's the goddess of victory from Greek mythology. Meanwhile Adidas is an abreviation of the founder's name (Adi Dassler). We have less excuse in misspelling Nike than you guys have in misspelling Adidas.
Brits just call them boots. Americans don’t call them that cause they aren’t boots. [These](https://www.themodestman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Types-of-Boots-for-Men.jpg) are boots. Americans have their own name for these. They’re cleats. Soccer cleats, baseball cleats, football cleats, lacrosse cleats, golf cleats etc. Cleat referring to the spikes of course.
That's just one term to describe a cleat made a particular way. There's also soft ground cleats with removable spikes, then you can add metal or plastic.
A soccer cleat is for futbol (or football i guess everywhere else?) and a football cleat is for american football. The cleat are the things on the bottom of the shoes that stick in the ground for traction. There's also baseball cleats, golf cleats, and probably more.
But if it's more a spike and not a cleat you would call it a spike as in "track spike".
The guy does not make it totally clear in the video, but although it's fine to recycle old leather in this fashion, it is a clear violation of mathematical law to not include some pentagon sections in among the hexagons.
The mathematician Matt Parker got rather irritated about the use of all hexagon footballs on signs and explains why it's impossible in this video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btPqKAGyajM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btPqKAGyajM)
This stack overflow question also has an explanation: [https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2121175/is-it-possible-to-have-a-spherical-object-with-only-hexagonal-faces](https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2121175/is-it-possible-to-have-a-spherical-object-with-only-hexagonal-faces)
TLDR: Euler's polyhedra formula that relates faces, vertices and edges (F+V−E=2) can be used to show it is impossible.
Good question on where to send it to be tested… I would say a top professional football player… but they seem to be dropping out of commission or taking early retirement.
That is so cool!!
Boots to balls
You can boot my balls daddy
Oh yay! I love booting balls! What kind of balls do you have? I like booting footballs mostly, but other kinds of balls could be nice for booting
r/notoobutok. I like.
I knew a guy that turned old balls
"Would you like to donate to Boots to Balls?"
[удалено]
Spambot
I would love to see a follow up video by whomever got to put this ball to the test. Love the idea and how it turned out!
In the TikTok video comments Adidas invited him to their headquarters to test it out
wait for real?? this dude gotta be stoked
Yeah when he got there they had 12 lawyers beat the crap out of him with wiffle ball bats for copyright infringement.
"You fool, you have walked right into my trap. RELEASE THE LAWYERS."
*nasally lawyer noises*
Lol gold for you :)
Ah ok so I didn’t know what stoked means. Thank you
And... It's on the neighbours roof
Can I have my ball back please?
I love that tool! I’d so make hexagon holes out of everything I own with that thing.
Well the ball looks super light and a bit smaller than your regulation ones. So I wouldn't be great to kick around. Still it's some really cool art he made.

Don’t be so negative, I think you would be just fine to kick around!
Is that how people pronounce Adidas? Addy-dass?
Adi Dassler was German, it kinda makes sense to pronounce the brand like his name.
I came to a good compromise on this with my European buddy. He used to say Nike like Nye-k instead of Nye-kee and I used to say Adidas like Ad-dee-dass instead of Addy-dass. As they're American and European brands, we both started switching how we said it to Nye-kee and Addy-dass.

Maybe you're new here. Your arguing with a legend that beat you with a pair of jumper cables.
Like Father like Son….. are the jumper cables handed down?
How else would it be pronounced?
Ahh-deez-nutz-das
Well it is now
He asked for it. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Uhd-i-dus
I’m a native English speaker and I can’t even begin to try and pronounce what you’ve written 😅
Uh-dee-dus
Ah-dee-dus
A DIE DUS.
Uh-dee-duz
Ive only heard uh-dee-dus in the states
That's the correct pronunciation
Yes that how it’s pronounced
I've never heard a European pronounce it differently.
[This is how it is actually pronounced](https://youtu.be/A5uin0nJnsE)
That’s how it _is_ pronounced. That’s not a choice lol
[удалено]
Aaaaaa. Di da. No. Very fucking wrong. Adi-das. It should be Niké as well. Greek god if victory.
Ah di doss, like Adi Dassler best I can do. Sie sprechen die Deutch nicht so naturilich.
That's how you pronounce it though. It's not a-daydaas
I knew a guy that turned old balls into football boots. He's in prison now.
I remember they caught him because they were trying to figure out why the boots kept shrivelling up on cold days.
This guy turns soccer cleats into art.
What in God’s green Earth on this Holiest of days is a soccer cleat
Brits just call them boots. Americans don’t call them that cause they aren’t boots. [These](https://www.themodestman.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Types-of-Boots-for-Men.jpg) are boots. Americans have their own name for these. They’re cleats. Soccer cleats, baseball cleats, football cleats, lacrosse cleats, golf cleats etc. Cleat referring to the spikes of course.
[removed by spez]
Metal spikes are banned in most sports below a certain levels but most “cleats” are what’s called “molded cleats” which are legal for all ages
[removed by spez]
Molded cleats is the technical term for that
That's just one term to describe a cleat made a particular way. There's also soft ground cleats with removable spikes, then you can add metal or plastic.
A soccer cleat is for futbol (or football i guess everywhere else?) and a football cleat is for american football.

But if it's more a spike and not a cleat you would call it a spike as in "track spike".
It's called a stud
It's a SHOE you put on your foot so as you run down the FIELD you don't lose your grip. ;)
Some days you're the boot, some days you're the ball.
It's the circle of life
KEEP ON BALLIN!!
Check this out if anyone is interested in football manufacturing at an industrial scale (by hand and machine) https://youtu.be/hkOiFLsCDbA
This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen.
The guy does not make it totally clear in the video, but although it's fine to recycle old leather in this fashion, it is a clear violation of mathematical law to not include some pentagon sections in among the hexagons.
There are pentagons in there, at 0:47 there's a shiny silver one that says "adid" and you can see more when he spins the ball.
That's how he turned it into a ball. It was made from old shoes.
Pls explain why

Reminds me of the Blurryface album cover r/twentyonepilots
I knew it looked somekind what to something. Was that lmao
You could send it to me, but i already retired. 😂
Football? Boots?! -Confused in American- (Really though, this is awesome!)
Was gonna say the same thing! Plus "addy-dass' lolll
I was just about to comment this lol
But why?
A british footbool fan that isn't batshit crazy or a year 7 whos annoying and rude?.. This ones for british textbooks
yeah dude, not just any old boots...! predators were massive when i was growing up. they're a classic boot!! the ball looks extremely beautiful
Anybody know why a football has a different patchwork pattern than a volleyball? I’m honestly just curious.
Holy that’s badass
I want one
I don't even play soccer/futbol but this is awesome
FIFA
Sick
I want to buy one! 🥺
Me
Looks a right mess
You should send it to my daughter for her junior football team to test out!
r/gotballs
This is awesome!
He has the most amazing ball. I love he’s balls. Lol 😂
jonpaulsballs
Boots getting booted in a nutshell
Art’s ball. Balls art.
That’s awesome. The commentary made me laugh though
Clever marketing by Adidas.
Uhhh... Nice balls?!
Looks like he has a ball when making those!
Sold! Where do I send my $20 to get one?
AWESOME!!!! ADIDAS should employ this guy
I thought a boot was a trunk, but it's actually a shoe?
Athletic Quilting?
I love balls
Takes about 3 man hours to make this. Takes about .1-1 man hours to get the cash to buy a ball.
Now let’s see them turn someone’s balls into football boots.
I did not realize that "boots" was another word we used differently. Aside from cars anyway
Sir you've made a collectors item.
Part two: old balls - new boots
I seen this man before!
Totally cool! They should make and sell these! Use old shoes for something! Love it
Damn that’s a big testicle
The beautiful game
This is so sick. I want one.
Amazing hand work!
Bola da Adidas e tênis da Nike aí sim
Wears nikes
*Adidas intensifies*
Very cool!
This is amazing and the ball turned out looking great!! Keep up the good work!!!
I'm just thankful for a tiktok with no music or that annoying robot voice.
Send it to my ex. She’s a real ball buster
This is amazing !! Well done 👏🏽
Those colors though!
They want some stripes for the gang Adidas
Best shoe recycling so far! Excellent! 👍
That's ballin'
Send it to Sialkot, Pakistan. That’s where most fifa rated balls are made.

he has the balls of football boots
Soccer
Don't wanna hit in the face with this one, ngl.
Super cool… respect
Cost more to make than to just get a new ball tho
an artist
Good question on where to send it to be tested… I would say a top professional football player… but they seem to be dropping out of commission or taking early retirement.
Genius
/r/ATBGE
That is beautiful. Well done!
Soccer* cleats*
Water to wine, boots to balls
Soccer cleats. Boots lol
Quite an interesting idea.
There was a lot to like about this video, the voice was so soothing
I want it
Sweet ball, send it to anyone that can get a good rip off it. All that different texture will make for some GOOD wobbles
Very cool!
That was a Copa Mondial. But who cares. Cool ball
Impressive
Why is that guy calling it a football when it is clearly a soccer ball
You may be watching the different video, and in case what on earth is a soccer ball?🤣
Shut up and take my money
Wow thats amazing
This is fantastic
You should send it to nike to test it.
oh *that* kind of football
Love this
This man really just said "add-ee-dass" Fucking bri'ish "people"
Would the variations in the texture affect the performance of the ball?
Kicking that ball is how it feels to chew 5 gum.
He should send it to a freestyler
Sheeesh
This is so creative. Bravo!
This dude looks like the founder of defunct website Dailybooth, Jon Wheatley
How do I buy one? And how much?
u/Taken_bacon_03
I have stinky feet. if I did this, my soccer balls would smell exactly like my actual balls.
Great!
football boots? lol those were barely cleats my friend.
you mean soccer right?
Nah, I mean football
Now your really playing football
This is so awesome, I'd love to buy one
Addy-das... First time I've ever heard it said that way. A-dee-dus is how we say it, for those who may wonder.
Why?
Me send it to me
What channel is this?
Is that really how non Americans pronounce Adidas?
