"COPA19" adopts the new technology "Fusion Skin" that seamlessly fuses premium kangaroo leather and prime knit, which is the first in the history of adidas football, to pursue overwhelming softness. Achieves an excellent fit that wraps the entire foot. In addition, a special coating process is applied to the upper material to improve water repellency, which reduces discomfort in shoes in rainy weather. It is a spike that controls the game with an excellent ball touch.
In addition, with this renewal, it will be a spike worn by top players such as Paulo Dybala and Toni Kroos who are active in major European leagues for the first time in the history of "COPA". The main players in Japan are Takashi Usami, Atsuto Uchida, and Rei Hirakawa.
Below are comments from Argentina national team Paulo Dybala and design director Dave Srace for this spike.
[Comment by Paulo Dybala]
I've always been a fan of COPA with its classic design and great ball touch. Because it's a shoe that suits my style of play. And the evolved COPA has some new features and an evolving design. We look forward to demonstrating good performance in the game with this COPA.
[Comment by Dave Srace (Design Director)]
COPA is an iconic adidas shoe that is loved by footballers around the world. The concept of design is tradition and innovation, combining classic design with modern innovation. We will inject new technology into the classic COPA to set new standards in terms of both tradition and innovation.
"COPA19" features
・ Three features of the new technology "Fusion Skin"
1. Overwhelming softness
Premium kangaroo leather with adidas original processing is used for the leather itself, which is the raw material. The softness that is characteristic of kangaroo leather has been further enhanced.
2. Excellent fit
For the first time in adidas history, premium kangaroo leather and prime knit are seamlessly fused to achieve an excellent fit.
3. Water repellency to reduce discomfort in shoes in rainy weather
Water repellency is also improved by applying a special coating to premium kangaroo leather. Compared with the conventional model (* 1), the water absorption rate is reduced by about 40%, which contributes to the reduction of discomfort in shoes in rainy weather.
