We are just a little over three months away from the start of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. It would be unthinkable that the leading outfitter in the ‘global game’ would let such an opportunity pass by, and adidas has just unleashed one of what is presumably several releases in the leadup to the Copa Mundial for which this set is named. Also called the ‘Futebol Pack’, this set of Three Stripes skate shoes is inspired by the pitch, starting with the adidas Busenitz Pro in a kangaroo leather rendition just like the Copa Mundial lowtop upon which it was based. A Solar Blue-accented Silas SLR matches the F50 boot you’ll see during World Cup action, the Lucas Puig pro model takes this style a step further and Mark Gonzales’ Gonz Slip employs the adidas Tango print as made famous on two decades worth of WC balls.
