11 PRO Teaser


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...

TURF VS FG VS HG/AG Boots

Many consumers/footballers are always on the debate/fence on if they should go with a turf boot or a FG boot to play on firmer artificial grass that seems to becoming the majority of fields/pitches in the united states.

Many consumers love the comfort of a turf boot but do not like the weight and bulkiness of it. And on the other hand some consumers like the light weight feel of a firm ground boot on turf but do not like the comfort it has to over. The answer to many of your needs is a hybrid boot, one that offers the feel/comfort of a turf shoe but the feel of a cleat which is light and agile. Nike has tried to make specialty cleats just for the use on artificial pitches. The boots known as the AG artificial grass boots are low profile and have hybrid outsoles mixed between a turf and FG boot which offers the comfort of a trainer/turf but the feel of a FG boot.



However, many consumers do not know that theses boots even exist because nike not does not market them and Nike also has these boots at a very cheap price point which is indifferent to consumers because a lot of us humans associate price on quality. But many consumers do not understand that this is the answer to their problems. A comfortable boot with a new AG outsole that overs a comfortable low profile ride on turf. If you have never tried a Nike AG boot out you are missing out because the AG boots/silo are a hidden gem due to their low price point and their unexpectedly comfort. With the AG boots you have a low profile boot that has many short Knobs which increases the surface are of the boot with the ground which means better traction.

Furthermore, from the pictures below it seems like adidas will also create a AG/HG (hard ground) boot/outsole in 2012. I think the hard ground boots have a lot of potential and would suite many consumers needs and knees. Pictures below are of the adipower predators which will Also be made with tha HG outsole in 2012. All of adidas soccer silos I believe will have this outsole option to satisfy consumers needs. In the end, if you are looking for this kind of hybrid boot check them out and give them a try for extra comfort.
