In general, the adidas adiPure III football boots have a retro look, and have now been released in a Black / Warning / Warning colourway as well as a White / Warning / Black colourway.

The adiPure range has gained a reputation for comfort and ball feel, boasting excellent wearers like Frank Lampard, Diego Milito, Xabi Alonso and Nigel de Jong.

The performance kangaroo leather upper used is extremely soft and comfortable, with the vamp being stitched and tailored to player movement and ball strike.

The sole-plate features Traxion technology for optimal grip and pressure distribution, with the stud tips being textured to improve ball control in all weather conditions.

The laces are asymmetrical for a cleaner kicking surface, with an independent padded tongue combining with the soft padded boot collar for a snug fit. Moreover, the lining of the sockliner is almost like suede; it is non-slip to prevent rubbing.

These adidas adiPure III cleats combine the required softness at the fore of the boot with a solid and strong structure at the heel. The external heel counter has been extended for maximum stability and protection, to reduce the stress on the achilles tendon and provide superb comfort.

Edgar Davids returned to competitive football by starting in Crystal Palace’s Carling Cup match against Portsmouth in the new Black / Warning / Warning adidas adiPure IIIs, after having starred in some of Nike’s best advertisements in his prime.
