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

Flexing mesh on the Pure II doesn’t match the softness of the leather as well as that of the Pure I

And though the comfort is king with the Copa, these ones suit your average creator right down to the ground. It's no surprise to see footballers with the highest levels of technical ability in the world donning these ones – oh, and did we mention they look unbelievable?

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. This classic football boot, now in 2023, has undergone a transformative evolution.

adidas Copa Pure.4 FG

Not the widest, can be worn by wide feet but be prepared to have an intimate relationship with the upper The Copa doesn’t replace the classics, it’s simply a modern alternative, using advanced engineering techniques to give you the ultimate touch and feel on the ball while maintaining the trademark comfort of the series.

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 +! Redefine touch and feel every movement with adidas Copa football boots. Experience the future of the game in a refresh of iconic football boots that have graced the feet of players at all levels across the world since the 1982 World Cup. Find your feel The fit is also much improved given the new dynamic of the Fusionskin and triple foam, plus the removal of the Sensepods that really took some time for some to get used to. Tongue on the .1 is still the same-stretchy and has an extended width to wrap the top of your foot and to stay in place Traditional tongue construction the best bit, offering nice, pleasant and distraction-less fit as well as bit enough room for adjustmentAvailable in several styles, the adidas Copa line ensures the wearer a perfect fit to optimise playing ability and look of a reimagined classic. The timeless look and functionality of the Copa football boot has always been appreciated; now infused with modern technology, the performance, control, and precision offered means it is respected on the pitch even more. Alongside models Copa .1, Copa .2 and Gloro, Pro:Direct has several exclusive models, giving the wearer an even more unique boot. 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. Speaking of Sensepods, you might need to give the new Copa some time to break-in for you to avoid getting blisters. The Sensepods constantly rub against your heel, so be sure to give it some time to get accustomed to the new sensation. 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. Size-wise, narrow-footed Jay says its true-to-size in; length and width spot-on, but new heel finish helps the Pure 2 accommodate more width

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

Senseframe has enough traction for change of direction; heel counter is strong and stable; not sure if Softstuds work as intended for ball control 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 New upper construction has creasing out of the box; would need some break-in time to remove pressure points Lastly, the new Senseframe tooling features conicals and rounded blades to make the configuration more aggressive in traction than previous generation. Two medial studs known as Softstuds are made of softer TPU to complement the touch function of the Touchpod. What we think of them…
