A Closer Look At The adidas Mundial Team Modern Craft : Footwear : Soccer Bible

Honouring the world's best selling football boot with a street styled transformation, adidas create the Limited Collection Mundial Team Modern Craft. Timeless in design, consider it a tribute, a nod to greatness, rather than a reboot.

The Copa Mundial is arguably the coolest football boot of all time. Worn by a generation of legends, including Platini, Maradona and Beckenbauer – even Bob Marley wore them for f**k sake, tongue-tucked, lace-wrapped and everything. It don't get bigger than that. That humble Copa Mundial is the latest piece of footballing footwear that adidas have magicked into an urban icon, building on the football-inspired transition worked up on the ACE 16+ Purecontrol Ultra Boost.

Astro turf trainers and jeans used to be the recipe for a good kicking on non-uniform day, but that ain't the case no more. The Three Stripes have cleverly transformed not just the product but the perception of how football and streetwear should work – merged together rather than in separate markets. Dressed in a minimal design that features a K-Leather upper and suede heel and toecap, the adidas Mundial Team Modern Craft slips seamlessly into fashion environments as it did onto the feet of some of football's finest influencers.
