In short, placing the wearable on the boot opens up a new world of analytics. 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. If you are looking to improve as a footballer player, being able to see how many times you use your left or right food combined with what part of the foot do you shoot with, provides you with insights into what you need to change. Of course, that data by itself is of no value if you do not implement changes. Max has his finger is firmly on the pulse of wearable tech – ensuring our coverage is the most comprehensive it can be. If your go-to shoe has removable insoles, you can swap-in the smart insoles, but you do have the option to sit them on top too. When they get a bit sweaty from your footballing sessions, you can give the insoles a wash in cold water. Just make sure you remove the tag that does all the smart work first. One of the nicest things about the GMR insoles is you don’t have to own a fancy pair of Nike Mercurials to put them to use. The EVA foam insoles come in sizes suitable for shoes ranging from size 3 all the way up to 13. There should be an ideal fit for most.
Playermaker has partnerships with over 200 professional football clubs, including Premier League sides Manchester City and Fulham, alongside Champions League participants Benfica.
We're adding a layer of actual load monitoring, load on the lower limb," says Yuval Odem, chief operating officer at Playermaker. "Together with data profile analysis, we can detect symmetry - if your right limb is longer than your left, or you're not lifting your left leg high enough when you're running.” Along with bolstering your Ultimate Team squad with big name players, there’s also the small matter of topping the weekly leaderboards. There aren't just global leaderboards either. Includes two smart sensors (R+L), two straps (R+L), the UNO case, USB charging cable, and user guide
Playermaker’s system can identify every point in a training session where a player took a touch of the ball, or played a pass, or took a shot. Pairing this with video footage of the session means that “you can automatically create highlights very easily”, according to Odem, a promise that’s sure to tantalise video analysts everywhere.This idea of making it accessible is something echoed on the adidas side on deciding to make insoles and not put this tech into a pair of boots. It wanted to maximise the number of people that could make use of the insoles, considering the costs of putting them in boots compared to making an insole and that ability to reach all types of players. “This could be an introduction for a gamer to get into football,” says Zalaznik. You can also choose to compete against other GMR-owning friends in your own league leaderboard, and smaller group leaderboards, to increase your chances of cementing top spot. If you are sitting pretty in the silverware spot, you’ll be rewarded with more goodies in the mobile game.

Here are five things you should know before you buy.
Google's powering the tag in the Adidas GMR system, as showcased by the "Jacquard by Google" branding on its rear - we actually knew this partnership was in the words a few weeks ago when it was first teased. Football, we miss you. Watching it, playing it. We’d even go as far as to say we pine for the time we can start lambasting VAR decisions again.There’s just one of these tags provided and it should be placed inside of the insole of your dominant foot. Housed inside that tag are accelerometer and gyroscope motion sensors, commonly found in phones, smartwatches and sports watches.
