adidas Copa Pure 2 Club TF

Core Black/Carbon/Grey One

If you hadn’t noticed, adi have switched up their boot names, swapping out the old numbered system for descriptive words instead. It’s easy: you’ve now got the entry-level Essentials, then, as you step up through the ranks, the Club, League, Pro, Elite, and finally the top-tier Elite+.

First up, let’s be clear: this is the adidas Copa, the most modern, technologically advanced boot in the Copa range, as opposed to the more traditional Copa Mundial and Copa Gloro.

What’s the difference? The modern Copa’s lineage began back in 2016 with the superlight Copa SL, where it branched off from the classics and swapped leather for synthetics. Since then, adi have explored hybrid constructions that blend both leather and synthetic materials, first with the Copa 19 – the first Copa to have a laceless option – and subsequently with the Copa Sense and Copa Pure.

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.

Plenty of pros have fallen in love with the new Copa, from Declan Rice and Bernardo Silva to Alexis Mac Allister and Melanie Leupolz. If you’re the kind of player that prides yourself on a silky touch, you’ll never want to wear anything else.
