Since its debut in 1979, the Adidas Copa Mundial has been more than just a football boot; it’s a legend. Designed for the 1982 World Cup, this iconic shoe has graced the feet of soccer greats like Maradona, Zinedine Zidane, Fransz Beckenbauer, proving its worth on the biggest stages.
The Adidas Copa Mundial is the most sold football boot of all time. No other football boot model has been sold more worldwide than the Adidas Copa Mundial.
What makes the Copa Mundial so special?
Its premium kangaroo leather upper provides a soft, natural feel and unmatched ball control. The sturdy leather heel offers durability and stability, ensuring your feet are always protected. While the Copa has evolved over the years, with modern versions featuring synthetic uppers and advanced sole technology, the core of the boot – its classic design and exceptional performance – remains unchanged.
From the traditional black and white colorway to limited edition releases like the Copa Mundial Samba pack, Adidas has continued to innovate while paying homage to the boot’s rich heritage. The Adidas Copa Mundial is available in various versions, including turf boots and futsal shoes.
Adidas Copa Mundial Colors
Until 2013, the Adidas Copa Mundial was only available in black with the famous Adidas stripes in white. Eventually, Adidas decided to follow the trend of colorful football boots and on September 30, 2013, a model was launched where the colors were reversed: a white Copa Mundial with black stripes. After that, Adidas also launched a so-called Copa Mundial Samba pack on the occasion of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the legendary football boot in five different colors: light blue, dark blue, orange, red and yellow.
Adidas Copa SL and Copa Gloro
In 2016, the famous sports brand with the three stripes decided on a renewed design of the Copa. Iconic details, such as the black and white colors and the flap at the front, remained, but the soccer boot got a more modern silhouette, a synthetic upper and a SprintFrame sole, making the Copa SL meet the demands of modern soccer.
The development of Adidas continued with the Copa Gloro 17.1 and 17.2, with the focus mainly on a comfortable fit and the right amount of pressure on the feet.
Most Iconic Soccer Boot
Although there have been adjustments to the Adidas Copa Mundial in recent years, it remains, after 35 years, the most iconic soccer boot in the history of this beautiful sport.
