It was amazing to see that the Adidas football boots didn't even last 3 months with light use like my son did only uses it occasionally and only in a few games for practice. This is probably due to poor workmanship as there was a sharp split rather than a gradual split at a football game today. There were no signs before the game and the sole of the shoe came off during the game. The separation is so severe that repairs with glue are difficult and likely to be repeated. I'm not sure if I picked a bad pair or if Adidas has generally gone down in quality over the years. It wasn't a high-end pair, but at least it was somewhere in the middle since it cost around $100. I definitely expected more from Adidas.
