Evolution One of the best things about the current market is that some brands are willing to push the boundaries of what works in a football boot. These are of course, the halo products, or products that exist simply because the brands want to show off what they can do. This gave us boots like […]

A new beginning Adidas has had some iconic speed boots over the years. The obvious ones are boots like the 2014 F50 adiZero, the 2010 adiZero, the 2005 F50+, and the X Speedflow. Oftentimes, adidas has struggled to meet the high bar that they have set for themselves. While the generation before this one tested […]

Strange Over the past couple of years adidas has managed to put themselves front and center with the return of a Predator with a foldover tongue. Such a simple addition would not have had as much impact by itself, but the fact that the Predator 24 was so good and then adidas managed to do […]

Solid While the other two big brands in the boot market (Puma and Nike) have mostly left the leather boot game, for the time being at least, adidas continued to push on with their Copa Pure series. On top of that, they even let the Copa Icon II get reworked to release as another leather […]

I also was over the moon and the only reason I […]

Almost the Perfect Improvement When adidas brought the F50 back last year, it seemed more like an updated X rather than a whole new boot. While I personally enjoyed the F50, well specifically the launch colourway, adidas gave us something excellent with the Messi model. They accomplished this by releasing something very similar to what […]

Better than the Original We are currently experiencing a consistent wave of remakes in the past several years to the point where most major brands are bringing back various models from their past catalogues. While some brands have had their own excellent remakes, especially Mizuno with their Wave Cup and Wave Ignitus remakes, most people […]
