adiPOWER Predator, adiPURE SL..

So it is final and all the speculation about what adidas has in the works for 2011 can be put to rest with this post. In my opinion, with the combination of the adiPURE, F50, and the new Predator adidas has improved on all of these styles and has also added an elite version of boots to compete with Nike’s line. For example, the picture below feature the adiPURE style but utilizes the F50 sprint frame to decrease the overall weight of the shoe.

Could 2011 be the year that adidas becomes number 1 in soccer due to Nike’s inability to improve the Vapor and their other boots?

Furthermore, what was called the Predator Kinetic will now be called the adiPOWER Predator and from this image and the other images I have shown you, is that this will be the lightest Predator to date weighing just 8.2 oz. adidas was able to change the upper, midsole, and outsole to decrease the weight of the boot. Here is what the tech sheet says about the boots:


AdiPOWER Predator-
Master the ball in the lightest Predator ever. Features Traxion outsole, sprint frame construction and proven Predator technology for skillful touch on firm ground. Upper: Power spine technology in the forefoot creates maximum shooting power by minimizing the energy lost while shooting. Taurus: a newly developed full- grain calf leather for a glove -like fit. Highly abrasion resistant with low water uptake. Silicon rubber Predator technology for maximum swerve and ball control. Lining: Nubuck touch heel lining for super soft comfort. Inlay: Pre-molded EVA sockliner with additional anti-slip EVA inserts on the backside. Midsole: Internal chassis constructions that holds the revolutionary power spine, providing never-before-seen shooting power. Outsole: The sprint frame construction uses geometrical learning’s and a new stud shape to offer the perfect balance between light weight and stability. A new dual-density superlight Traxion FG outsole for optimum grip and stud pressure distributed on firm natural grass pitches.
Size: 5.5-13.5

AdiPURE SL series will feature the adi outsole sprint frame to decrease the overall weight of the boot for the elite players looking to get a boot that is very light. adidas did this to compete with Nike's elite boots, but I am hoping that adidas price points are much more reasonable... Only time will tell.

Every Footy Players dream; just watch it.

ROBINHO AKA NIKE POSTER BOY IN ADIDAS BOOTS?

It looks as if Adidas has stolen another player from Nike. Shown below is Robinho wearing a blacked out version of the adizero this weekend in which he actually scored a goal while debuting the boots. This would be bad news for Nike because Robinho has been the poster boy for the Nike Super Fly/Mecurial Series.


In the past year, Nani, Dani Alves, and Anelka have made the switch to the Adidas f50adizero; along with a long list of amateurs players due to the price of the boot compared to Nike.



In the end, do you think the f50 is a better boot then the Super Fly?
Or is it all coming down to the price of the boot?

Messi adiZERO II COLORWAY...

These look cheap but could be a hand made sample just to see what the real boot would look like. I am also happy to see what looks like k-leather upper. Once again, I am unsure if this is the adizero II or the PRIME which is the elite version of the adizero which is suppose to be lighter then its current model. In the end, it is a good spot in terms of colorway and shows the evolution of adidas soccer boots in the last two years. Nike will you please stand up?

PDX 2011 Timbers Kits

Hello footy fans, I know this site is all about boots and what is up and coming in the world of soccer boots but I just wanted to show you guys the Portland Timbers new uniform that they will wear for the 2011 season. With the Adidas North America HQ being based in Portland they had to make a statement and with the release of the 2011 home and away jersey, Adidas and the Timbers did just that... Below are pictures of the away and home jersey for the upcoming season. As you can see, this jersey will be one of the most dynmaic jerseys on the pitch in terms of looks and appearance around MLS.

In addition, I am also interested to see how many players will wear Nike boots compared to Adidas. Word around PDX, is tha Nike has already signed the coach to a Nike deal which seems odd. With both companies based in Portland I will bet the 2011 will be great for boot spotting for both Nike and Adidas newest boots.
