Review Summary
Introduction
Going old-school.
The Adidas Copa Mundial has been around for 25 years and is almost as popular now as it was on release in the 1970′s with the boot being worn by the likes of Franz Beckenbauer (who is arguably the best defender to ever play the game). Now a days at the top level, many players still opt for the Copa Mundial, as seen on West Ham and England’s Matthew Upson and Sol Campbell. The duo wore the boots for a number of seasons, the Adidas World Cup with SG studs and the Copa Mundial with FG studs for training.
The main selling point for the Copa Mundial is the craftsmanship. Made from the softest K leather possible, which provides excellent control and touch. Featuring a classic extended fold down leather tongue, the Copa Mundial oozes class and originality. Designed specifically for firm ground pitches, and has an outsole constructed of dual-density direct injected Polyurethane with moulded studs. Also renown for its tank-like durability lasting for year upon year, the Copa Mundial has the makings of an all-around great boot.
But how does it stand next to the Nike Superfly II and all of it’s technology? Or has the Adidas Adipure range simply replaced the highly respected boot and beaten it at its own game?
