Adidas Thread [11] - All Adidas info, pictures, questions here!

The high quality of products like Mizunos reminds me of when more companies use to take pride in their work, use nothing but the best quality of raw materials, and stand by their products because they knew that it was the best possible product they could create.

Luckily this can still be found in adidas' Copa. Well, at least until they discontinue it.

 

I'm calling it now, if it happens it'll be the white/blue/yellow.

 

its the black/black/red ones ....they feature embroidery "SWEDEN vs. ENGLAND 14.11.2012 100th Cap"

 

Woah, these take the place held by UCL colourway as the best version released by adidas so far.
Adidas, why don't we see this brilliance more often?

 

Black, red and that gold writing look class! Simple colours-brilliant.

 

all black with the red stripes would have been better

 

Supposedly the reason they went in a different direction with the 11Pro was because it was cannibalizing Copa sales. Well...that's the excuse they used anyways. Good for them if true, but I have my doubts.

 

Does anybody else get the nostalgic feeling of the black/red/white FG version of the Preadtor Mania? The simple upper, with an instantly recognisable white outsole really makes me think back to such times. Really great colourway.

I feel that stitched seemed better value for money, and suited boots better back in the days. I think PDS needs to swing with the times and realize that the nature of boots have changed.

 

stitched is probably better suited to leather, where printed is probably better suited to synthetic.

 

Well what a way to ruin the great adiPure series....... *facepalm*

 

Does anybody know if the adipure 11pro sl fit similar to the adipure IV sl? I bought the IV a little big and I do not want to make the same mistake.

 

I think it's a good thing IF they really are dedicated to the Copa. But like I said, I'm not so sure that's the case. It may just be an excuse to charge more money for a lower quality shoe. If they really are dedicated to the Copa, though, a white version would be super nice...

 

Adidas Predator LZ 2013 (2nd Generation)
> Expected to be released in Summer 2013
*Note that nothing hasn't yet been confirmed whether the boots are still going to represent the Power range of adidas Football. Stay tuned for further updates of these, and also the 4th silo from adidas Football. Thanks guys....

 

nice instep is nice and clean too!

 

First image of Adidas new silo: Adidas Exo 3.0 - http://www.sochuteiras.com/2012/11/adidas-exo-2013-new-silo.html

 

Not sure about those new preds. The lz's are okay with the lines as they are quite clean lines. Those look a bit of a mess. It seems strange that on all previous preds the element has been lines/ ribs but those are + shaped,how are they supposed to help with grip? Also why chose a colour virtually the same as the last boots launch colour but do it worse. Not a fan of blue boots let alone the infared/ orange colour.


On a plus note possible white/blackout lz's on their way!

 

Oh darn my blue boots have ripped..oh is okay ive fixed them with some electric insulating tape.... Oh wow they look like the new exo boots! Saved myself £££££.

Hopefully they are a lower tier model as no mi coach and they look nasty. I think ill go and apply to work for adidas as they seem to have run outof ideas.

Didnt they just use blue on all the current lines for the euro 2012 colourways?

There are other colours. Black. White. Gold. Green. Even pink! No not pink. Liked the champange/ lunar on the manias no but since has used this colour. Recycle people recycle!

 

Yes they are most definitely lower-tier boots!

 

Jesus Christ, they are destroying the predator! I really hope sales start dropping and they are forced to go back to their roots, just like they did with the f50 tunit.

 

Agreed wholeheartedly. Everything points to that, especially the Exo 3.0 title, meaning two levels of boots above this one. This is essentially the 'Absolado' or 'adiNova' or 'F10' of the new Exo range. On a side note, anyone else have high hopes for this new silo?

 

You see, I really like the look of the new LZs on this photo. I think they are also lower-tier versions though!

 

I believe the boots in the picture are equivalent to the 11Questra. If you see from the photo, no sprintframe, no miCoach cavity and I bet the firm ground version is bladed!
