The historical spikes loved by the heroes VOL.15 "The history of copamundial"

I think you know that Kopa Mundial (Kopamun) is an adidas famous fixed spike. Kopamun is still being produced, and he is also a favorite of Maeda from FC Tokyo (http://king-gear.com/articles/155). The introductory photo covers gloves and it is very important to handle kopamun. Is it a real product of someone famous player?

(I started spike blog.https://maradonaboots.com/I would like to express my condolences to those affected by the heavy rainfall disaster.

I am interested in the old spike mainly on the model made in West Germany, but I feel that it is very difficult to obtain fixed type compared to replacement type. I think that it is because the sole has deteriorated, and it is likely to be thrown away because it cracks or falls apart. Kopamun is no exception, and nowadays things in the West German era can not be easily found, and even few seem to be decent.

The introductory photo is taken from the Adidas Archive, but even for Adidas, the old Kopamun in a beautiful condition would be valuable. Having said that, the difference between the appearance of the old and the present products is slight, and it is the shape and marks of the leather of the heel, to name a few.

Figure 1 shows the comparison, but the other difference is that the old model did not have the reinforcement at the sole tip.

Figure 1
 80Comparison of age (top) and present (bottom) kopamun. Kopamun and the World Cup are still produced in Germany (it seems to have been made in Indonesia around 98).

 
The two-color sole of the black stud, which is a feature of Kopamun, was called the two-material sole, and the fixed type of single color was named adipan sole. The transition of Kotan's shoots and heel marks is similar to the “Replacement Type 3 Materials Sole World Cup” (hereinafter referred to as the “World Cup”) introduced in the four episodes, and the model in Figure 1 is supposed to have been produced since the mid 80's. It seems.

Fig. 2 shows the transition of Kopan specifications from the adidas archive and catalogs at that time in the West German era. At the time of debut in 1982, the tag of Shootan is blue, and the heel mark is trefoil + adidas letters (upper left and figure 3 upper).

After that, the shoot tan tag seems to have become a white trefoil on black, which is the same pattern as the upper of the World Cup 82 (lower left).

Furthermore, in addition to Fig. 1 (Shotan black ground and red trefoil mark), the shout tongue tag in the upper right of Fig. 2 was blue and the heel mark was only trefoil. I thought it was a pattern not seen in the World Cup, but it seems to exist (lower right).

Figure 2 80Kopamun's shoot tongue tag and display pattern of heel mark. I think that the upper left is the oldest, but the time series and regionality of other appearances are unknown. The upper right is a pattern where the shoe tongue tag is blue and the heel mark is trefoil only.

It is often found in the middle to late Kopamun, and I think it is rare in the World Cup. Bottom right photo is 88Year EUROIt was a rare pattern in the replacement spikes of Tony Adams (England).
  

From debut to present, Kopamun (fixed) upper is the same as the World Cup (Figure 3). Kopamun also has a different language, meaning World Cup. I made a debut at the 82nd World Cup in Spain, but I would like to write that the fixed type used by the West German representative at the time was a spike that was surprisingly a bit unusual.

Figure 3Early-stage copamun obtained from Italy (upper, lower right part of the heel).

Pain is seen in the upper, but the studs are not much reduced. It seems to have been used at the ground of the foreign lawn. The model name is almost gone, but it is originally in golden letters and seems to have been changed to silver sometime (insert photo).
The bottom is the World Cup 82 of the same period
  

The 80's World Cup is mostly made in West Germany (rarely made in France), but Kopamun seems to have had several producing countries.

The top of Figure 4 is made in Czech and has almost the same specifications as the top of Figure 1, but with a sole-toe stop and the model name is in silver letters. Also, the country of origin indication is not on the back of the shoe tongue (upper right) but on the internal tag (upper left).

Similar specifications, also available in Yugoslavia. Here is the producer country indication behind the shoe tongue mark (right middle).

The bottom of Figure 4 is made in Portugal. I think that it is unusual for the sponge of the back of the shoot tongue to be black in the Kopamun of these days. Upper, sole is similar to the upper, but I think I do not know in the photo, but the upper is not like a kangaroo, it seems like a calf.

It looks the same as above, but 3 made in West GermanyThe main lines are made of leather, but these are like synthetic leather.
  

The model named Kopa has been produced in Japan so far. Perhaps the first model that appeared was the Copa series released around 87 (Figure 5 top).

There is a difference between the upper leather, but it looks just like Kopamun, and the sole was a single colored adipan sole. Then in the 90's, the leather made of the heel was extended to the lower side of the three lines as well as the current model in the same Kopamun made in Germany and Kopa series made in Japan as in the World Cup (Fig. 5 bottom).

I think the lower left is Kopamun manufactured after 1990, but the display is made in West Germany (usually made in Germany).

Cospa is better than Honpa Kopamun, and I think it was popular among the students at that time. Lower left 90
Kopamun thought to have been produced after the year. Somehow made in West Germany. It may have been left over by the tag, and it might have been wrong. Lower right is 90Copa SP after the yearSuccessor version Kopa SPX
  

I do not know how many types of Kopa series are made in Japan, but then domestic Kopa also becomes a two-color sole and the studs become black. The upper left in Figure 6 is Kopa SPDX, but the domestic two-color sole is not circular like studs but is slightly oval with studs (lower left).

右上はコパ・リベーレで、つま先のステッチや、かかとマークなどが通常モデルと異なります。

In addition, it is unusual for products of the 90's, and the leather of the heel does not extend below 3 lines. As an aside, there are usually 12 black and white bicolor sole studs, but depending on the model there may be 13 (bottom right). There are 13 studs of adipan sole in one color.

As well as the Replacement World Cup, there is also a copy of the German version of Kopan that was produced after 1990, and Kopa Argentina (upper left in Figure 7) appeared around 1998, with the 25th anniversary model released in 2007 (upper right) . All the details are similar to the original (though it is natural).

Colorful Kopamun appeared at the Brazil World Cup in 14 years (lower left), and now there are all white and all black models (http://king-gear.com/articles/91)。
 

This year, the 18-year W cup special version introduced in 12 episodes is expected to be released, but if possible, a white 3-line model with a single-color sole like the Japanese-made Kopa series that was popular during student days also appeared I want you to do it.

It looks like a color.
  

Lastly, among the many heroes wearing Kopamun, we will introduce a slightly unusual player.

Jordan, who struggled to the end of the semi-finals with France, who won the Euro 84, was wearing Kopamun (fixed type) on his right foot and the World Cup (replacement type) on his left leg (Figure 8).

Right 2
The film is a game against France, and both lines are white, but with the type of sole, the color of the tag of shootan seems to be different.
   

By the way, the Russian tournament is finally a climax. This is a disappointing (unexpected) result in Germany, but next time I would like to write about the spikes of the West German national team in the early 80's (please forgive, though there are some schedule changes).
