Today, adidas has unveiled a limited edition version of
their most famous football boot to date: the iconic Copa Mundial.
Released in 1982, the Copa Mundial is the best-selling
boot in football history and has been worn by some of the all-time greats
including Franz Beckenbauer, Michel Platini, Zico & Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.
Since then it has been sold over 10 million times and was actually the last
revolutionary product innovation created by sporting goods legend and founder
of the adidas brand Adi Dassler. He had been personally involved in the early
development of the original Copa Mundial before he passed away in 1982.
adidas will release a limited number of pairs of the
special White Copa Mundial available to footballers globally and they are sure
to become a collector’s item when they go on sale tomorrow (Tuesday 1st October).
Going through very slight changes since the boot was
designed for the 1982 FIFA World Cup™ in Spain, the Copa continues to be made
in Scheinfeld, close to adidas HQ in Germany. It boasts a kangaroo leather
upper and additional leather provided on the heel, intended to improve
durability and stability.
The new boot maintains the same qualities and feel of the
traditional version but the colour way has been reversed with white being the
prominent colour launching the boot into the modern game.
The White Copa Mundial is available from tomorrow (Tuesday 1st October) for purchase in selected adidas retail outlets, associated stockists and via www.adidas.com/football.
