adidas Copa : the feel of leather

The legacy of the Copa

The Copa range from adidas is descended from the Copa Mundial, a kangaroo leather boot launched in the late 1970s, which became one of the best-selling football boots in history. While other ranges focus on speed or ball effect, the Copa prioritises touch, comfort, and a classic silhouette. It is aimed at technical players, midfielders, and anyone who prefers the feel of leather.

Other adidas ranges

The adidas boots are also available in:

• Predator, for striking and control.
• F50, for speed.
• adidas Born For Goals.

All adidas boots can be found on the adidas page.

Elite, League or Club

The Copa Pure comes in different levels. The Elite, premium version, combines a soft leather upper that hugs the foot with a lightweight sole: it’s the choice for professional players. The League, mid-range version, offers a good compromise for regular club players. The Club, entry-level version, is suited to beginners and youngsters. The leather adapts to the foot over matches: choose a snug size without compressing the toes.

Choosing your sole

The sole is chosen according to the surface. The FG sole, with moulded studs, is suitable for dry natural grass; the SG, with screw-in studs, for muddy and damp pitches in winter; the AG, with more numerous and shorter studs, for synthetic surfaces; the MG, versatile, for mixed pitches. Playing on synthetic with FG studs wears out the sole and can injure the joints. Maintain the leather with a balm after matches in the rain, drying the boots away from a heat source.

Great deals

Good deals can also be found in the bargains, promotions, clearance, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped in 24h are prepared and dispatched within 24 hours. The key events of the year follow a steady order: the Black Friday at the end of autumn, the holiday season, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, then the summer sales and back to school.

Frequently asked questions

Which level of Copa Pure should I take depending on my playing level?

The Elite, the lightest and most refined, targets experienced and competitive players. The League offers a good compromise for regular club players, and the Club, simpler and sturdier, is suited for beginners and casual use.

FG, SG, AG or MG: which surfaces do these labels correspond to?

FG is made for dry natural grass, SG, with screw-in studs, for wet and muddy grass, AG for synthetic, and MG for alternating between grass and synthetic. The right choice preserves the joints and the boot.

What is the Copa Mundial?

Launched in the late 1970s in kangaroo leather, it became one of the best-selling football boots in history. The Copa range takes the same spirit: touch, comfort, and classic silhouette.

How does a Copa shoe fit?

The soft leather of the Copa moulds to the foot after a few sessions: take your usual size, with a slight gap in front of the toes. There’s no need to go larger, as the leather stretches a little with use.

What type of player is the Copa aimed at?

At technical players who prioritise contact with the ball: midfielders, playmakers, and creative defenders. Those who focus primarily on speed would be better off with lighter shoes.
