adidas Copa Sense.3 Fg, Men's Soccer

Product Information

Laced Pure II+ feels like the speedy alternative to the Pure II.1 because it has a tighter sensation once the laces are tied tight; Pure II+ not anymore built for laceless setup

The switch to Torsionframe from the Senseframe is a good point as it makes the Copa Pure lighter than its immediate predecessor. adidas silos do have distinct identities that make them viable in their own right. The X is all about speed. The Predator is all about grip and accuracy. The present Copa concerns itself with making leather boots still relevant in today’s football. It's a surprise, too, that they're quite so good for that. The Predator is most associated with raking balls, yet the Copa Sense is extremely adept at taking the sting out of a heavy pass and returning it deftly.Despite this downward trend, brands still keep their line of leather boots within their ranks to point to their storied past and display their long history within the boot category. This explains why adidas still produces the adidas Copa Mundial, one of the legendary leather boots from the 70s. However, it is increasingly difficult to market the Copa Mundial and their leather boots to a generation that has never even experienced a proper leather boot like an adidas Predator from the 90s to early 2000s. K-leather or not, it doesn’t matter for the Copa Pure as it is still meets the expected softness which bodes well for the comfort aspect. The triple foam lining not only helps make the boot feel padded and plush but also streamlines the sensation across the Fusionskin upper.

Pure is the current generation of the modern Copa. And in October 2023, adidas launched the Pure II, meaning that it is pretty much like the first Pure release with just minor tweakings. The Pure II still has that same Fusionskin upper comprised of calfskin leather forefoot and a Primeknit midfoot for the + model a flexing mesh material for the .1. And like the first Copa Pure+ and Pure.1, the Pure II has a one piece upper construction for the former and a standard tongue construction for the latter. No More Laceless +!Traditional tongue construction the best bit, offering nice, pleasant and distraction-less fit as well as bit enough room for adjustment

Since the introduction of the Copa 19 in 2018, the modern Copa has been synonymous with the Fusionskin technology that seamlessly fuses a forefoot leather to knit that comprised the rest of the upper. The outgoing Copa Sense was no exemption, and it even strategically added memory foam inserts to help the leather in dampening the ball touch. Senseframe a nice improvement of the Exoframe; external heel counter is solid and looks cool with the wavy design; soleplate itself has good rigidity in the midfoot, and the forefoot is very flexible, even softer than that of the Predator or Nemeziz; not as responsive as the X Ghosted Carbitex Speedframe; overall feels a lot like the soleplate of the New Balance Tequila Laceless Plus like a child of Copa 20+ and X Speedflow+; skin tight feel with super comfortable forefoot, in addition to the tiptoeiness of a speed boot Flexing mesh on the Pure II doesn’t match the softness of the leather as well as that of the Pure ISome people live and die by the old ways. Case in point, vinyl records. Those who love vinyl swear by them and claim that MP3s can never beat the nice warm sound that emanates from the age old tech. It’s an experience that only the enlightened can appreciate, they say. The touch is not as leather-like as previous-generation Copa due to less amount of leather; might disappoint those who like the previous-generation Copa As for the rest of the soleplate, I don’t have much issue with it. Yes, it’s slightly weighty but it’s one of adidas’ best looking ones available as the wave effect is evident across the tooling. It also carries a nice glossy finish which will painfully get tarnished after your first few minutes on the pitch so please enjoy the look while it lasts. The Adidas Copa Sense is a juxtaposition of a boot. It feels both steeped in nostalgia and very modern.
