Nike and Puma Abandon K leather

Nike and Puma’s latest moves seem dishonest News broke recently that Nike was going to stop production of kangaroo leather football boots. In the announcement, Nike also mentioned that they had divested of their only kangaroo leather supplier in 2021. This comes only two weeks after Puma had announced that they will also stop the […]

Adidas Predator Accuracy .1 Low Review

A Proper Modern Predator Hopes were initially high when adidas brought back the Predator series in 2018, however, the boots were still very much just a newer version of the Ace series. It was not until the Predator Mutator in 2020 that we finally got rubber elements on the boots again. In spite of the […]

Adidas Copa 20+ Review

A laceless classic While adidas has been using the laceless concept for since 2016, it was not until 2019 that we saw the first attempt at a laceless leather boot.

adidas’ Great yet Baffling Release

A good idea/A bad idea Yesterday saw the release of the first 100% vegan adidas football boot through a collab (supposedly) between Paul Pogba and Stella McCartney. If we want to be diplomatic, the colourway of the boot can be described as polarizing. But while this splits opinion, the boot itself seems like a great […]
