With the dawn of a new year comes the unveiling of something truly synthetic, yet profoundly classic: The Copa Icon, the brainchild of adidas, launched in an elegant colourway of "White/Core Black/Gold Metallic". If you've been educated in the language of football, you'd know that the Copa Mundial marks the genesis of adidas' flurry of COPA lines.
But, dear reader, today we exist in a scenario where COPA has not one, not two, but four siblings to boast of. The torchbearer of tradition, the original Copa Mundial, stands proudly beside its three offsprings. The COPA Sense, a perfect blend of contemporary aesthetics and comfort, serves our revered adidas-leagued players. The Copa Gloro, a torchbearer for grassroots initiatives, and fitting snugly enough, there lies the Copa Icon.
An upgraded, lighter version of its ancestral Copa Mundial, the Icon is made to embrace the game's modernity and that’s exactly where we are steering our attention today. Historically painted in black, the Copa Mundial gets a revised aesthetic for the launch of the Copa Icon. The swanky white base gets a fashionable black trim, notably adorning the signature Three Stripes and heels. A touch of opulence is added with golden accents that gleam on the "Copa Icon" side callout as well as the tastefully branded tongue and heel - where the brand's performance logo assumes centre-stage.
Although currently available with a firm ground soleplate only, it hints at a prospective purchase for those anticipating the fairer spring weather. Stay tuned for the latest and subscribe to our Newsletter for more!
