Adidas Copa Mundial

I got my first pair of Adidas Copa Mundials about 6 years ago and i've never worn another boot since. They are great for playing during the summer when the ground is a little too firm to take a metal stud, but i also love using them whilst playing 5 or 7 a side on astro-turf or plastic grass. They are light enough to not slow you down and don't feel chunky as some other boots do. The leather is top notch and if you look after them they will easily last a full season, if not longer. These boots have been available for decades but the simple look is still pleasing on the eye and i would prefer the time-less look of the copa mundial over ...  Read the complete review

These boots are old but the fact that they still command a fairly hefty price tag should tell you something. It’s a bit of a cliché but we’re talking about football here so a few clichés are positively encouraged – sorry, I digress, basically these boots are a perfect example of the ‘if it ain't broke, don't fix it' mentality. For years players managed to get by without artificial aids to help them instead having to rely solely on their natural ability (and fitness??). Given that no boot on the market was likely to enhance their ability to any great extent it is not unreasonable to assume that comfort would be the major ...  Read the complete review

Probably the most popular boot of the last 20 years. If I had a pound for every person I saw wearing these boots then... I'd have quit Dooyoo a long time ago! Looks These boots have become iconic for their traditional plain and simple look. They are famous for being mostly black apart from adidas's signature three white stripes. They are made of high quality leather, allowing for brilliant control, I have been using copa's for my entire career and most have lasted me at least 2 years. The laces are plain and simple, no nifty flashy side of the boot supa doopa powerswerve lacing here, just good old straight lacing down the middle perfect for a battling ...  Read the complete review

When I first started playing mens' football in this country I sat down in the dressing room, lacing up my Adidas Copa Mundials as an older player next to me smiled and said: "Like slippers with studs." That is an accurate a description as I have ever heard of this timeless classic of a football boot. My first pair lasted three seasons of weekly use and the quality of the leather is so high that there is no reason a similar lifetime can be expected of every pair, provided they are looked after well. I would stress, though, that the Copa Mundial version is the one with moulded studs and you will not last five minutes attempting to play in ...  Read the complete review

In an era in which boots come and go on a seemingly weekly basis, and all manner of colours, materials and styles are tested with mixed success, The Nuvo Mundial or Copa Mondial remains a must for all serious footballers. Classicly stylish and so comfortable they feel like trainers, these are the perfect boots for someone who doesn't need to look flashy. As my personal choice for the last 5 or so seasons, I give these my complete reccomendation Moreso than many of their expensive counterparts these boots suggest a quality player when being worn, not just someone trying to grab attention, and they will be seen from the sunday league to the Premiership for many ...  Read the complete review
