adidas adipure 11Pro MiCoach Football Boots - White/Black/High Energy

The adipure range is the next to come under the innovation spotlight, as adidas launch the adipure 11Pro football boots featuring miCoach technology! In the last 18 months adidas have taken huge strides to radically overhaul their boot ranges, and kicking-off 2012 adidas have launched the 11Pro. Take an exclusive first-look at the White/Black/High Energy 11Pro, the latest release from the 3-Stripes and let us know what you think...


Since the development of the SprintFrame back in 2010, adidas have revolutionised their major boot silo's as lightweight performance has taken prominence in the boot market. Now with the development of miCoach technology, adidas have decided to incorporate both innovations into their adipure range.






The first obvious advancement of the adidas adipure 11Pro football boots to discuss is the integration of miCoach through a cavity in the outsole. The benefit of which is to allow you to compete, share and compare your performance statistics. Measuring time, distance, speed, speed zones and number of sprints during a training session or a match, as the adidas miCoach Speed cell stores all your performance data.





When you've finished your training session or game, you can send your data wirelessly from the miCoach Speed Cell to your PC, MAC or iPhone to view your results and share the results on Facebook, Twitter or YouTube. Then check or compare them against your friends, team mates, opponents and even professional players.





The change this has meant for the adipure is the introduction of the SprintFrame, which we have previously seen on the adipure SL, but both this and the standard sole-plate have been replaced to accommodate the miCoach Speedcell. The SprintFrame is constructed with a slightly more conical stud shape than on the F50, and is a one-piece lightweight engineered outsole which provides a balance between lightweight, acceleration and stability.





As far as the upper is concerned it's business as usual for the adipure, with a soft leather material returning to offer the supreme comfort and ball feel that has won over such players as Bastian Schweinsteiger, Xabi Alonso and Frank Lampard. Although for this installment adidas have opted to use their Taurus leather, a success on the Predator range, and aided by an ultra thin coating to protect the upper in the main kicking areas, making the adidas adipure 11Pro a more durable soccer shoe.





Quite radically for what has become famed as an all leather boot, adidas have interrupted the Taurus leather upper with a midfoot synthetic saddle. The anatomically shaped saddle, featuring the 3-Stripes, provide the adipure 11Pro football boots with excellent midfoot stability.





Comfort is provided by an anatomically moulded EVA insole, similar to the one featured in the adipure IV, but with the benefit of flexzones in the forefoot to assist movement and improve fit. A soft suede synthetic leather lining provides additional comfort, whilst reducing any foot movement within the boots for a more secure fit.




Certainly over the last 18 months adidas haven't failed to surprise the boots community, and we're eager to see the reaction these adidas adipure 11Pro football boots receive. Expected to be available from 1st February, this White/Black/High Energy colourway of the 11Pro's are available to pre-order now, and have a global retail price of around £125 GBP / $140 USD / €150 EURO and £175 GBP / $260 USD / €210 EURO with the miCoach bundle.

Whether you're a fan or a sceptic, adidas are continuing to push the boundaries of boot development. So let us know what you think of the new adidas adipure 11Pro football boots.
