About this deal
One of the best ways to improve your fitness, technique, and movement around a soccer field is to use a GPS tracker vest. Playermaker is the game changer in analytics used by hundreds of elite academies and players around the world.
Odem is keen to stress that its device is useful for, “any sport where you wear footwear”, but football is where Playermaker has started, and its focus on the feet does make it the obvious place to begin. They can also track your tempo, sprints took, speed, and distance ran like GPS trackers, although they do lack a heartrate sensor, and aren’t able to show you were you exactly sprinted.This Google Jacquard-powered insole will track your moves on the pitch, but you'll need to get on board with the FIFA Mobile tie-in to use it. If Google and adidas unlocked all that valuable player data inside the mobile game and opening it up to the 265 million people globally that play football, this could finally - after years of trying - take connected clothing mainstream.
While GPS trackers can show you where you ran and while Xampion can show you how many times you passed or shot the ball, what they can’t tell you is how successful those were.The WIRED conversation illuminates how technology is changing every aspect of our lives—from culture to business, science to design. Unlike the connected football boots it launched almost ten years ago, the adidas GMR insoles are EVA foam insoles designed to sit inside of any footwear.
