Adidas is back with another Copa Pure III, dipped in a colorway that's got me feeling all kinds of nostalgic. We're talking that iconic blue and white—yeah, like your nan's favorite china, but make it football. It’s giving AdiPure 11Pro vibes, that classic silhouette that Toni Kroos, the midfield maestro, used to bless the pitch with.
Now, I'm not gonna lie—I’m a sucker for a throwback. But it ain't just about aesthetics, is it? This boot's packing the tech of the Copa Pure III, which promises comfort and performance. They're saying it's the past, present, and future all rolled into one. But is it, though?
See, Adidas loves a bit of archive raiding, bringing back the Predator and all that. This time, they've mashed up the new Copa with the old 11Pro vibes. Respect to the vision, but I need to know why.
Toni Kroos. The man, the myth, the legend. He bossed the Champions League wearing those 11Pros, right? Five times! That's like winning the lottery five times while juggling flaming torches on a unicycle. But what was it about the boot? Was it the way it felt on his feet? Did it give him that extra oomph when he was pinging those laser-guided passes? I need the deets!
Adidas brought back the blue and white 11Pro as a limited edition in 2023, a tribute to Kroos. Now, this Copa Pure III is rocking a "pure white" base with that blue stripe, and the three stripes in the same black from 11Pros. Even got a "11pure" stamp on the heel. The soleplate's chrome-blue, same stud pattern as the other Copa Pure III drops.
Look, I'm not saying it's a bad boot. It's clean, it's classic. But I need more than just a pretty face. What does it feel like? Who's gonna rock these? Is it for the Sunday league baller who dreams of being Kroos, or the next-gen baller like Declan Rice?
And speaking of Declan Rice, word on the street is he's already training in these. Okay, cool. But what does he think?
You can cop these at worldsoccershop.com. But before you do, ask yourself: is this just hype, or is this a genuine piece of kit that'll elevate your game? Think about it, fam. Football's a beautiful game, but it's also a business. Don’t get played.
