Adidas today launched the Samba Collection, Brazilian
inspired football boots aimed at celebrating the vibrancy and exuberance of the
World Cup host nation. For the first time ever, as part of the Samba Collection
adidas has released a new boot from each of its four boot ranges, adizero f50,
Predator, NitroCharge and 11pro, with an array of new bright, exciting color ways.
Each boot has been designed with its own distinct identity and cutting edge
technology, inspiring the next generation of footballer.
The Samba Collection launch marks the start of the adidas
“All in or Nothing” 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ campaign. The tournament is the
world’s largest event and the ultimate platform, where it will be Game On or
Game Over for the World’s best teams and federations. The full roster of adidas
star players will be involved in the campaign from Leo Messi and Oscar to Dani
Alves and Mesut Ozil.
NitroCharge, the energy-retaining football boot designed for
the next generation of footballer as worn by Dani Alves and Ezequiel Lavezzi,
comes in a new visually striking lime green colourway. As a boot designed for
‘The Engine’, the player who is always running, tackling and relentlessly
powering his team, the Samba NitroCharge encourages its wearer to go Full on or
be Gone. With its unique and highly elastic ENERGYSLING around the forefoot
supporting sidecut and precision turn movements to sharpen reactions on the
pitch, and ENERGYPULSE spring technology providing high energy push-offs and
long lasting energy return when sprinting, the NitroCharge combines new
technologies to innovate the way ‘Engines’ play the beautiful game.
The adizero f50, long sought after by the fastest players
such as Leo Messi, Lucas Moura and Gareth Bale, empowers its players to Fly or
Die with an electric sky blue color way. The adizero f50 is all about precision
engineering with every aspect of the boot design based around making the wearer
as fast as possible on the football field.
With features such as SPEEDTRAXION,
an all-new, high speed stud alignment for maximum acceleration and pinpoint
changes of direction, and SPEEDFOIL, a revolutionary material that combines
lightweight, softness and durability for a comfortable, yet locked down heel
fit, the Samba adizero f50 is a boot which ensures these world class players
will be faster than ever before in Brazil.
The vibrant pink color way of the Samba Predator Lethal
Zones favored by the likes of Oscar, Mesut Ozil and Fernando Torres instructs
its wearer to Hunt or be Hunted. Designed with five distinctive ‘Lethal Zones’
of technology to deliver outstanding ball control, touch, accuracy and power,
the boot is made to master every aspect of performance.
With a luxury deep purple color way, the Samba 11pro worn by
Philipp Lahm, Hernanes and Frank Lampard retains the classic attributes that
allow players to Make the Play or Make Way. With its premium, ultra-soft and
ultra-light Taurus leather providing excellent fit, performance, comfort and
ball-feel allied to an all new outsole with comfort frame for better pressure
distribution, as well as optimized stud placement for maximum grip and
acceleration, the 11pro remains the boot of choice for the complete footballer.
