The adiPure 11 PRO from adidas will be adidas new heritage/classic boot for 2012. With this release we will see the end of the adipure series and it will give birth to a newer/lighter classic boot that adidas will refer to as the 11PRO. With this release, the boot will have a newer last that is specifically designed for pro players that offers a superior fit and comfort. With the anatomically shaped last adidas will be able to offer consumers a glove like fit similar to the retro Copa. However, with this boot the weight will be significantly dropped to an astonishing 235 grams, which will rival the Tiempo IV and the CTR360 elite boots.
Another interesting change adidas will make on this boot compared to the other adipure releases is that this 11PRO will feature a calf skin upper which is soft, lighter and more durable then kangaroo leather. However, by doing this adidas will no longer have a boot besides the Copa that is kangaroo leather which is very weird because with kangaroo you get a very supple feel/soft touch that many current OG consumers love and only trust.
Also with this release, which I think should have happened after the second adipure release. Adidas will add flex grooves to the outsole on the forefoot which increases flexibility, decreases stiffness and also improves the fit/performance of the boot in my opinion. With the addition of the flex grooves, I think the boot will be more comfortable than and not as stiff as the last addition aka the adipure IV.
Last but not least, the boot will be micoach ready for smart football. In addition, as I mentioned the weight was greatly decreased because with this boot adidas put the sprintframe outsole on the boot. Bots drop early 2012 Jan/Feb...
