A unique beaded adidas adiPure III has been created by South Africa’s very own Streetwires team; this weighty football boot fits right in with the culture and celebration of the African continent’s first World Cup.

Streetwires is a South African fair trade company, which makes and markets wire and beads handmade products, just like this boot. With more than 100 formerly unemployed men and women, the company helps to provide the skills training, support and raw materials needed to channel natural creative energies into vibrant art forms.

The Streetwires team has perfectly re-created the World Cup colourway for the adiPure III. Note that his crafted boot weighs considerably more than the standard production model, in part due to the thousands of beads and intricate wire frame that weave together to create it.

The attention to detail on this boot art is incredible. Note the classic adidas three stripes on the side of the boot, the stud layout underneath and the colourful South African flag that forms the tongue of this boot.
