Soft Suede Football Boots

adidas Introduces the Copa Mundial Football Boot

— October 20, 2024 — Art & Design
adidas unveils the return of the Copa Mundial football boot, a silhouette that first made its debut in 1982 during the FIFA World Cup in Spain. The model is known to be one of the best-selling football shoes and has been worn by iconic athletes.

The shoes are elevated and it is notably finished in a plush suede material which means that it can be easily scuffed that the usual leather build. The Mundial Team is an everyday sneaker model that is based on the original football boot. The suede fabric brings a luxe side to the sporty shoe while retaining the five-a-side finish with smaller rubber studs that adorn the bottom of the shoe.
