His new Adidas shoes are using BOA dial laces which give a player better control in navigating the amount of space required for the foot inside the shoe. Obviously, this will allow better freedom of movement and flexibility.

The laces run underneath an outer layer and hence aren’t visible to viewers. This is a major advantage as the laces are not prone to being scraped off which is a major problem for athletes, as shoes face great wear and tear.

The dial can be twisted in order to tighten or loosen the laces for these shoes. To gain a better understanding of how it works, you can watch this.
