Pele Trinity 3E SHEONE – Limited Edition


As many of you know from following the blog that I am and refer to myself as a boot nerd. I refer to myself as a boot nerd, because I am that kid that grew up and memorized the latest Eurosport magazine. It was my bible to put it simply… I did and still do check out the specs of the latest boot because soccer boots are my passion. Some people collect baseball cards and I simply collect soccer boots.
Furthermore, as a boot nerd I want boots that no one else has. To me your boots should be an extension of your personality on the pitch.Unfortunately, Nike and adidas do not understand this because whenever a new boot drops the market is flooded with the new color way and everyone and their grandmother has them. In the end, it’s not cool to step out on the pitch and have the same boots as your opponents.

However, in some special instances we have seen Puma and Nike release special edition/limited boots. In the end, by making the boots limited it makes it special in the eyes of the consumer. With a limited boot as a consumer you will for sure probably be one of the only boot nerds on the pitch rocking that color way. That makes you unique and as a player you can make that boot your own.

It seems as if Pele Sports will soon release its very own limited edition boot that is unlike any boot I have seen. The boot is called the PeleTrinity 3E SHEONE and is designed by London artist James Choules. The unique color way is inspired by the early 80’s and pays tribute to the introduction of the graffiti era in New York back in the day. In terms of a point of difference you can for sure bet that you will stand out on the pitch with this color way.


In terms of retail, the boots are now available on soccer.com and will have a price point of $200.

For those of you Trinity newbie’s, here is my review of the Trinity Review for your reference. The Trinity which looks like it was designed/developed on another planet at first glance features an extraordinary outsole configuration that is designed to provide the least amount of resistance to your foots natural motion which in turn increases your speed. 

In addition, the Trinity features a 1.2mm thick microfiber upper which provides a glove like fit and extreme ball feel/touch. After testing this boot, I could not help but notice the similarities of one of my favorite boots of all time which is the Nike Mercurial Vapor II. After the Vapor II the Mercurial range has not been the same but for the footy fans that loved the OG Mercurial Range here is your answer. The Trinity offers a lockdown effect on your foot. What I mean by lockdown effect is that the boot offers a sock like fit. The upper accompanied by the shape/last of this boot provides an awesome fit that many elite players crave in a speed boot.

Furthermore, the two aspects that make this boot so unique and a point of difference in the speed boot market are the outsole and the upper material that are used on the Trinity. Both the upper and the outsole combined together make a unique boot and provide an awesome fit. Most outsoles used on soccer boots are made of TPU/ thermoplastic polyurethanes that are standard for many of today’s boots like the adiPure or the CTR360 which are around 9 or 10 oz in weight. After testing dozens of materials, Pele Sports found a hybrid polymer material that is extremely light and especially durable due to its molecular properties. At times the review might sound like a science experiment but with this boot Pele Sports brought something completely new to the boot game and during testing I could feel the difference. Furthermore, with this unique outsole Pele Sports was able to reduce the weight of a normal weight of a TPU outsole by 1/3 which is why the Trinity registers in at 5.6 oz.Boot is seriously feather light! From the start, due to the anatomical last the boot contoured to my foot and offered a superior fit and better ball contact/feel than the Vapor and other speed boots like the synthetic adizero F50. 


Hopefully, once I receive the "SHEONE" version from Pele Sports I can do the same to show you how the boots look when you go hard. Or maybe I will just give them away and have a video competition for the boots...

Pele Sports new Trinity.


Every so often a boot is created that captures your imagination. The last boot that captured my imagination was the Pele Trinity from Pele Sports. The moment I saw the boot I had one of those deja vu moments... From the first time I saw the Trinity I was fascinated by its unique style and futuristic outsole. At first glance it caught me off guard because it more or less resembles my favorite boot of all time, which is the Nike Mercurial Vapor two.

The Trinity which looks like it was designed/developed on another planet at first glance features an extraordinary outsole configuration that is designed to provide the least amount of resistance to your foots natural motion which in turn increases your speed.

Marketing gimmick? Not so much in my opinion, the boots and the stud configuration are the real deal. I think that with this boot Pele Sports has created a fast, light and dynamic boot that helps improves an athletes reactions/speed which is what many consumers are seeking.

In the big boot picture, Pele Sports should be recognized. The Trinity as a speed boot offers something that no other company has explored with boots and that is how stud configuration relates to improving an athletes force/acceleration on the pitch. After significantly testing out the boot I believe they made me quicker and I definitely noticed a difference in my movement and acceleration. Check out the video review below along with the Footy Guru written review of the Trinity.


The first Trinity release featured a 1.2mm thick microfiber upper which provides a glove like fit and extreme ball feel/touch. After testing this boot, as I mentioned I could not help but notice the similarities of one of my favorite boots of all time which is the Nike Mercurial Vapor II. The Trinity offers a lockdown effect on your foot that rivals the adizero and Vapor. What I mean by lockdown effect is that the boot offers a sock like fit. The upper companied by the shape/last of this boot provides an awesome fit that many elite players have come to crave in a speed boot. Unlike the past speed boots, a speed boot has to be light of course but what is even more important for any boot is the fit of the boot. Light is great but if the fit is not perfect I am moving on to the next option.

Speaking of moving on...it seems Pele Sports has gone one step further with the newest Trinity release. Rather then just change the color of the boot Pele Sports wanted to create an elite boot.



Somehow with the latest release Pele Sports has developed a kangaroo leather option of the Trinity. It is officially the lightest kangaroo boot on the market. The boot features an ultra thin one piece upper that is only 1.1mm thick. With the k-leather upper it allows the boot to mold to your foot and provides you with a custom sock-like fit. I thought the microfiber upper fit awesome so I can not imagine how a k leather upper would feel. Could have one of the best fits in the speed game along with a k leather upper which I am sure will get Footy fans attention.

In addition, the boot will come in at 6.3 oz and have a price tag of $230. Boots are now available at soccer.com. Click the images to take the jump. For you FootyG fans. I will hopefully be getting these boots soon from Pele Sports and with a boot like this you can be for sure to expect a video review of the boots.

PELE SPORTS 1962 REVIEW TEASER



Was recently able to test the Pele Sports 1962 heritage boot that retail for around $130. Boot features a calf skin upper, off center lacing and after testing the durability and comfort of this boot I was very impressed of what the boot had to offer. Big fan of the Pele heritage boots because on the pitch the brand is unique and offers some OG styling and you can bet money that you will be one of the few on the pitch wearing them. I have always been a fan of smaller brands and on a personal note it drives me crazy when someone else on the pitch has the same boots as me. 

Like most players I want to be different and stand out on the pitch and I think if you are in the need of a heritage boot this look/style might give you that point of difference on the pitch. Stay tuned for the written review but please let me know what you think of the video and the boots in general.

Footy Guru Pele Trinity Video Review Teaser..


I have been playing more footy lately and this weekend I took time to take some shots and spend some time with the Pele Trinity and a couple other boots. Over the past couple of weeks, I have tested speed boots from adidas, Puma and Umbro but I couldn't help myself and I decided to make a video review of the Trinity so consumers can see the boot up close and personal and see what the boot has to offer on the pitch.


In recent weeks, I received two or three emails regarding what I would prefer or choose and every single footy fan is wondering if they should stick with the Vapor or jump ship and give the Trinity a go. From experience the Trinity is almost a clone of one of the best boots ever produced which is ironically from Nike called the Mercurial Vapor II. I like the Vapor two because of its simplicity, fit, weight and to describe the boot to a T it was almost like i was wearing a sock which is what a speed boot should feel like.  With the Trinity you get a lot of those similarities and in terms of weight the Trinity will blow your mind in terms of how light the boot really is. During testing the boot and performing quick cuts and moves the boot feels weight less and at times i forget I am in fact wearing a boot.  

As for those loyal frustrated Vapor fans, this boot unfortunately could be a better fit for your speed needs because it is not stiff in the upper nor the out-sole and in terms of weight it kills the current Vapor VII. At times I am confused because many players on the pitch are wearing the same boots which personally drives me crazy because I want to be different on the pitch and having boots that everyone and their grand mother have is boring. The Trinity has a lot to offer and for those Vapor fans that are buying time before the next Vapor release you have nothing to lose with window shopping the Trinity from Pele Sports. During testing, this boot really blew me away in terms of its fit and overall weight. Reminding me of the Vapor two the boots are feather light and the aggressive out sole formation offers a point of difference compared to other speed boots on the market. The video will be released later this week but in the mean time check out the teaser video along with the Footy Guru written review of the Pele Trinity.

Pele Sports Trinity Review


Pelé Sports Trinity 3E-Review



The Good: Registering in at 5.6 oz the Trinity is a boot designed for pure speed and acceleration. The Trinity is designed to harness your physical potential and strengthen your footwork throughout the challenges of today’s fast paced game. Pele Sports claims, “The extreme position of the rear tripod studs trigger earlier ground contact and stability with high velocity release and the forefoot studs permit excellent traction and explosive acceleration.” In other words, the new extreme tri-pod stud configuration is designed to increase the acceleration of a players reactions/speed off the ground, improve traction, and the help prevent injury.

 

The Trinity which looks like it was designed/developed on another planet at first glance features an extraordinary outsole configuration that is designed to provide the least amount of resistance to your foots natural motion which in turn increases your speed. In addition, the Trinity features a 1.2mm thick microfiber upper which provides a glove like fit and extreme ball feel/touch. After testing this boot, I could not help but notice the similarities of one of my favorite boots of all time which is the Nike Mercurial Vapor II. After the Vapor II the Mercurial range has not been the same but for the footy fans that loved the OG Mercurial Range here is your answer. The Trinity offers a lockdown effect on your foot. What I mean by lockdown effect is that the boot offers a sock like fit. The upper companied by the shape/last of this boot provides an awesome fit that many elite players crave in a speed boot.

 

The Bad: The $200.00 price point could seem too steep especially because Pele Sports is a new brand and many consumers are unfamiliar with it so I think many times consumers are brain washed due to all the marketing thrown at them from Nike and Adidas. In addition, with the price at $200.00 it competes with the other two dominant speed boots aka the Vapor and adiZero F50.  However, in terms of fit I will say I did not encounter any problems at all. In fact, compared to the Vapor the Trinity blows it out of the water in all aspects of the boot especially the fit and a lock down effect. One small problem I also encountered during testing is that I noticed that the laces on the Trinity were unnecessarily long and I found myself triple knotting the laces because there was so much excess slack.

 

The Bottom Line: With this boot/release, Pele Sports has shown they can compete in the speed boot market. If you are a speed boot fan and decide to pick these boots up I guarantee that you will not be disappointed/let down because this is a special boot. So special that I think the unique outsole offers a point of difference in the speed boot market. In terms the Trinity’s appearance, it is easy to see the unique differences of the Trinity outsole compared to other speed boots currently on the market. On the forefoot of the boot, the boot features five front blades and in the heel of the boot it has three studs that captivates consumers.

At first glance, you think to yourself about how it is even possible to play in these boots and if your balance is going to be affected. However, after testing these boots the questions/doubt that I first encountered is nowhere to be found and in a short time I fell head over heels for the Trinity. Furthermore, after testing these boots I believe they made me quicker and more agile in tight spaces and especially noticed a difference in my first step acceleration. With this boot compared to other speed boots I felt that the unique stud mapping technology helped me glide around the pitch with ease and in some instances even later in the games/practice when my legs started to become heavy I still felt like I was not wearing anything on my feet.

Background:
The recent release from Pele Sports called the Trinity 3E has “harnessed the ability to perform a dual task: maximizing a player’s game and speed potential and actually training your muscles as you play.” With this boot Pele Sports brings something completely new to the boot game by “Tackling the 3rd element”, the Pele Sports team focused on injury prevention as well as what they call “propulsion performance”. Studies at the Duisburg-Essen University in Germany revealed a high statistical significance level of the Trinity 3E, allowing significantly faster movements compared to alternative high-performance boots. For instance, “The boot gives the player the advantage in a small or tight space scenario,” Professor Ewald Henning claimed, as head of the Biomechanics Laboratory. “For longer maneuvers, players can have an advantage of being up to 1.5 meters closer to the ball on the field.” Unlike any other boot on the market the team from Pele Sports worked with Formula One engineers to include the lightest weight materials, the Trinity 3E also focuses on a unique stud geometry that harnesses force generation and triggers improved ground contract. The asymmetrical stud pattern, which looks like something off the planet, helps to enable increased muscle stimulation, with a tactile area under foot improving speed and agility movements. Furthermore, through this unique stud configuration along with tools/products used that you might find in a formula one racing garage allows the player to react faster, enhance ball control and increase force/speed in which you play the game. Pele Sports are referring to this boot as the beautiful revolution because until now we have not seen any other boot like this.
        
Comfort/Fit: (9/10)
The Trinity is by far one of the most comfortable speed boots I have tested over the past year. I have tested the Vapor, Super Fly and the F50 adizero and in terms of comfort/fit this boot gives the most popular boot in 2011 aka the F50 adizero a run for its money.  Many times in order to shave off weight many speed boots sacrifice comfort for weight but while testing the Trinity I did not have any comfort issues at all. The Trinity is very sleek, lightweight and offers a great lockdown effect on your foot. If you have been a Vapor/Nike fan think back to the old Vapor II and this boot offers a similar sock like feel but injected with over a decade of technology/development.

Furthermore, the two aspects that make this boot so unique and a point of difference in the speed boot market are the outsole and the upper material that are used on the Trinity. Both the upper and the outsole combined together make a unique boot and provide an awesome fit. Most outsoles used on soccer boots are made of TPU/ thermoplastic polyurethanes that are standard for many of today’s boots like the adiPure or the CTR360 which are around 9 or 10 oz in weight. After testing dozens of materials, Pele Sports found a hybrid polymer material that is extremely light and especially durable due to its molecular properties. This boot/review at times might sound like a science experiment but with this boot Pele Sports brought something completely new to the boot game and during testing you can feel the difference. Furthermore, with this unique outsole Pele Sports was able to reduce the weight of a normal weight of a TPU outsole by 1/3 which is why the Trinity registers in at 5.6 oz. Unlike the Vapor which has a stiff outsole and needs time to be broken in the Trinity did not need any time at all. From the start, due to the anatomical last the boot contoured to my foot and offered a superior fit and better ball contact/feel then the Vapor and other speed boots I have recently tested.

In addition, contributing to the weight and the comfort/fit of the boot is the upper material called Symbioskin which is a synthetic/microfiber material that is just 1.2 mm thick! If you are looking for a boot that offers an awesome touch/ball feel then the Trinity might be the boot for you. Unlike the current synthetic versions of the Vapor & F50 the Trinity upper is unlike any other boot on the market due to its very unique thin upper. Almost feels as if you are playing barefoot the upper is that thin. The synthetic combined with the microfiber offers a unique combination and adjusts to your foots shape while also retaining its original shape even after the boot has been worn for hours. Many times with current synthetic boots you put them on and the upper is not form fitting. Often times you have excess material in places and the boots crease and does not adapt to your foot which gives you an unforgiving feel when you wear the boots. However, with the Trinity upper and its manipulated ability/capability the synthetic upper stretches and gives depending on your foots shape which is almost mind blowing because forever synthetic boots on the market have been so stiff and unforgiving!

On a side note, I did discover that the boots are running a half a size big so during testing I wore an 8.5 which was just right. I was lucky enough to try the size 9 on prior to testing…However, in most boots I am a size 9 but I found that the Trinity runs longer so when ordering these boots go down half a size so you are not swimming in them.

Performance: (9/10)
The Trinity is built for one purpose and that is pure speed. After testing the Trinity it is safe to say that it does its job well! I can say with confidence that after testing these boots that the unique stud mapping technology works and did enhance my force/speed especially my first step. The rear tripod studs trigger instant ground contact through their unique positioning which enables you to get going faster/quicker off the start. While the forefoot studs allow excellent traction and engage your force/acceleration. The highlighted/volt studs on the bottom of the boot represent of each area of the foot as it flexes and rolls working simultaneously to disperse force and improve your grip. In order to prove this to many readers, I am willing to run 100 yards with the Vapor, F50 and the Trinity to see which boot really helps my overall speed! Furthermore, the way the studs are configured ultimately helped my movement especially side to side which I noticed playing on the wing I had to move in tight spaces in order to create space. In addition, never at any point during testing did I feel unbalanced, if anything the way the studs sit offered me a more aggressive stance which I definitely liked and noticed during games and performing quick turns/moves. In the end, I gave this boot a 9 for performance because of its light weight, unique/performance enhancing outsole, and the superior/glove like fit the boot offered.

Value: (8/10)
As an experienced soccer boot consumer, whenever I buy a boot I look at three different categories that factor my decision to either buy a boot or go another direction. I base my decision as a consumer on the comfort/fit of the boot, Performance, and the overall value the boot offers. With this release the Trinity from Pele Sports exceeds in all of my assigned categories. The Trinity in terms of comfort/fit is one of the best speed boots I have tested in 2011 due to its unique thin upper and glove like fit. As for performance, the Trinity has taught me that the classic stud configuration is outdated and by testing these boots/unique stud mapping technology it improved my stance/performance on the pitch. I think that Pele Sports has created a fast, light and dynamic boot that helps accelerate your reactions/speed which is what many consumers are seeking. In the end, the Trinity as a speed boot offers something that no other company has explored and that is how stud configuration relates to improving an athlete’s force/acceleration on the pitch. The overall value of this boot is well worth its price point of $200 and with this boot you are getting a fast, light, dynamic, and durable speed boot that offers/brings something completely different to the speed boot range. Trinity is now available in stores now and I urge you to give them a try.

Pele Sports 50/50 TF Trainer- REVIEW


Pele Sports are an up and coming brand and in a very short period they have created a buzz within the soccer industry. To say the least, I am a big fan of the boots and the apparel they have been producing. The products are very unique, extremely durable and for each boot or piece of apparel a story is told through that product.

Although, at first many consumers were skeptical of the brand partly because many soccer fanatics are very brand loyal and often times closed minded when it comes to their boots of choice. However, with one of the greatest players ever to play the game of soccer backing the company it seems the skeptics have been pushed aside and consumers are very interested/open in what the Pele Sports brand has to offer.

So without any further introduction, I would like to introduce the new Pele Sports 50/50 Turf Trainer from Pele Sports.

The Good: Built to last, the 50/50 features a full grain leather upper and also includes performance features that include a TPU shank and an internal heel raise which enables you to push off your forefoot faster and provide quicker ground contact which are essentials in small sided games.

The Bad: Only negative I can think of is the price tag. The boots are currently $85 which makes many people skeptical especially if they are unfamiliar with the brand.

The Bottom Line: This is an awesome boot if you are looking for a very durable boot that you can wear in the street and on the pitch. The only other boot on the market I can compare this boot to would be the Nike5 Street Gato but the 50/50 is lightyears ahead of this boot. The boot is built to last and with the TF outsole you can sport this boot out on the town or to the pitch.


Comfort/fit: (9/10)
Compared to other boots on the market like the adi5 boots I have in my closet the 50/50 is very different in a good way. While the adi5 series is thin and light the Pele Sports 50/50 offers a different relaxed feel right out of the box. Designed from the looks of a lifestyle shoe the 50/50 offers a relaxed shoe much like you would get from a casual/running shoe which makes it very unique in the fact I sometimes forgot I was wearing a performance boot at work or playing Footy.

Like most players I am very particular about my footwear and the odds of me wearing a boot without break in time a rare, but with this boot it was like a glove. The leather upper improves with each wear and once it is completely broken in the fit improves and the leather conforms to your foot in just about every angle of your foot.

As I mentioned, the more you wear the boots the more supple the leather becomes and I noticed this with the leather above the toes on the 50/50. The patch of leather above your toes is perfect for a first touch lay off or a snake/double touch to get yourself an extra yard of space. Another important aspect of the boot that has a leather upper is the instep which features patches of leather that improve durability and your touch on the ball. In terms of receiving a ball with a synthetic boot compared to a leather boot there is no question the leather upper offers a better/softer touch which is what the Pele Sport 50/50 offers. To describe this boot and its durability the only word that comes to my mind is premium.

Testing Note: To point the 50/50's durability and comfort a couple weeks ago I was involved in a car accident that left me car less for awhile and I relied on public transportation and in one instance I was stranded and was wearing my Pele Sports 50/50 boots after work. I could either walk home or run and because it was so cold i picked option two. So I ran almost 7 miles in these boot all the way home and had no blisters or hotshots. To be honest, these boots are tanks and the durability and comfort are second to none especially after running 7 miles because there is no way I would have tried that in my Gato's or adi5 boots.

Performance: (9/10)
To be honest, to paint you a picture of how these boots fit and feel they remind me of the old Nike Zoom T5 boots that offered excellent touch and a glove like feeling. The Pele Sports 50/50 is the Nike Zoom T5 boots reincarnated but with more technology and does not come in flaming flamingo colors because the boot is not flashy it is simple made to get the job done on the pitch and lets your play/skills do the talking.

Furthermore, another aspect of this boot that I believe is one of the best technologies/introductions to the boot world within the decade is the off-center lacing or what I like to call it is the athletic fit lacing. With the off center lacing on these boots it hugs the shape if your foots natural shape so these boots really do feel like sock and provide a glove like fit. While the fit is glove like due to the lacing the lacing offers you are bigger striking surface which enables you to really get ahold of the ball which increases the power of your shots.

Another performance aspect that is Pele Sports brings to the soccer market is the internal heel raise that they use in their boots. By raising the heel of the boot slightly it keeps you on your toes toes and allows for quicker ground contact and better force dissipation which means you will always be on your toes which matters in small sided matches/intense game of muff.

With the performance of the boot being exceptional another aspect of the boot that I would like to point out is the detail that many of the Pele Sports boots feature that is unlike any other boots on the market. For example, every-time I lace these boots up I notice minor details on the boot that I never noticed before. For instance, the tab on the back if the heel features two roman numeral fives (V) join together which represents small sides Football while cleverly forming the roman numeral 10 (X)- the number Pele made famous throughout his Footy career. It is examples like this that separate this boot apart from any other TF boot on the market. The boot is covered in rubber symbols that tell the story of Pele and his passion for football.

Value: (9/10)
At $85 the Pele Sports 50/50 is one of the more expensive boots on the market but compared to the other boots this boot is built to last. Sometimes you get what you pay for and if you are looking for a rugged boot that you can wear on the streets and the pitch then the Pele Sports 50/50 might become your best friend.

I put these boots to the ultimate test which you can see from the pictures. I wore them as daily lifestyle shoes, running shoes haha and played multiple Futsal games in these boots. In the end, based on comfort, durability, and overall value the Pele Sports 50/50 are head and shoulders above any other TF boots on the market. The 50/50 is truly a unique boot and I highly recommend this boot to any one in need of a new TF/Futsal boot.

Blogger note: With the weather turning many consumers including myself have been playing more small sides matches and indoor/futsal games and after heavy testing i thought many of you would appreciate this review.

Pelé launches Pelé Sports Trinity 3E and "The Beautiful Revolution"


Pele Sports joins the speed boot market... 
Looks very similar to the Vapor I/II.

Pele Sport new Speed Boot; TRINITY 3E Press Release


TRINITY 3E: REVOLUTIONARY NEW FOOTBALL BOOT FROM PELE SPORTS Pelé Sports – the new global football brand from soccer legend, Pelé - has unveiled a ground breaking football boot for SS 2012, the result of years of ergonomic research and footwork analysis. For the first time ever, the ultra light Trinity 3E boot has harnessed the ability to perform a dual task: maximising a player’s game & speed potential and actually training your muscles as you play. This has been achieved through extensive research and testing as well as a combination of lightweight materials, unique support and innovative stud geometry.

At Pelé Sports, the design team call this “tackling the 3rd element” and believe it to be evolutionary in the approach to football design. With an average of 2.7 injuries per team worldwide, Pelé Sports were focused to place injury protection and propulsion performance at the heart of their design mission.
Studies from the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany show at a very high statistical significance level (p<0.01) that the Trinity 3E Allows significantly faster movements when compared to other high performance speed boot products on the market.

Professor Ewald Hennig Head of the university’s Biomechanics Laboratory, stated that; "The boot gives the player the advantage in a small or tight space scenario, allowing players to be 40cm closer to the ball in a kicking action. For longer manoeuvres, players can have an advantage of being up to 1.5 metres closer to the ball on the field." “I was surprised to find this clear advantage against other top level boots in this similar speed category. The strength of the Trinity 3E was especially apparent in cutting manoeuvres, which is probably the most important action in football.” The statistical power of this study suggests that even if it were repeated 100 + times, the boot would still yield the same result 99 times out of 100. LIGHTEST WEIGHT MATERIALS The Pelé Sports team worked with Formula One Engineers to strip away unnecessary weight & structure within conventional boot design. Despite extremely low weight characteristics (170 grams), all Trinity 3E materials were selected for maximum durability:
The outsole is created from a futuristic hybrid of fibre reinforced lightweight polymers. It is a dual density polymer created through molecular manipulation and results in optimised rigidity directly aligned to the biomechanics of the foot. The new generation speed upper Symbioskin™ is a tri-laminate material designed specifically for the Trinity 3E.

3 unique elements individually sculpt around the players allowing exceptional feel and command of the ball.
UNIQUE STUD GEOMETRY
The unique asymmetrical stud geometry (patent pending) harnesses the natural mid foot motion, ensuring the earliest possible force generation and accelerating your rapid response rate! Quite different from most boots designed today who offer a symmetrical stud solution even though the natural movement of the foot is asymmetrical. The extreme position of the rear tripod studs trigger earlier ground contact and stability with high velocity release and the forefoot studs permit excellent traction and explosive acceleration. The studs work cohesively to distribute foot pressures and improve grip as the foot flexes and rolls naturally through 3D simultaneously. The out-plate is specifically designed to resist rolling over of the ankle – a factor for the most common injury suffered in football today.

MUSCLE STIMULATION At the heart of the Trinity 3E’s stud technology, the Pelé Sports design team focused on the heel of the foot. This most sensitive tactile area under foot has been harnessed as an input to trigger early muscle activity for higher speed and agility movements. The team designed an asymmetrical cleat that activates fast muscular reactions, which in turn trains fast foot speed & coordination. This unique boot design naturally increases muscle stimulation and faster acceleration as it gets you in and out of the ground quicker. The Pelé Sports Trinity 3E is a boot that allows players to respond faster, play harder and win in the true style of The Beautiful Revolution – the heart & passion of the Pelé Sports brand - inspired by Pelé and shared by every other football player in the world, no matter where they come from or where they play.

JUST ARRIVED: PELE 50/50 (TURF), PELE RADIUM (INDOOR) &PELE 1970 FG BOOTS


Recently, Pele Sports sent me three different silos of boots to review. In recent months, there has been plenty of positive feedback surrounding the brand and its unique apparel and boots. As of now, after just doing a fit test all three boots are very comfortable and look stylish/slick and i am excited to test the boots out.

Stay tuned for a full review of all three boots in the coming week...
