adidas Copa Sense.3 Laceless FG

Core Black/Bright Cyan/Team Solar Yellow

Laceless football boots do away with traditional laces, typically in favour of stretchy, adaptive closures to create a streamlined fit and feel. Without laces getting in the way, they give you a more direct connection with the ball, amplifying control and offering a clean contact area for passing and shooting.

No laces also means no delay in getting your boots on and ready to play, and avoids the possibility of a loose boot letting you down in a vital moment once you’re on the pitch. They look stylish too, forming a sleek silhouette that makes the goals you score in them seem just that little bit better.

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.
